interesting. apart from the "i think it's wrong", that's pretty much the case. same goes for the "flirting hard" thingy.
edited to add: i don't need no justification. a definition would be interesting. to elaborate a little more on my own view: i think marriage is not about owning a person.
Do all men cheat?

I don't own my husband and he doesn't own me. We both flirt up to a point...the point being crossing the line of disrespecting my marriage and my husband and ultimately myself.

that line being rather dynamic/subjective.

SFA I agree that the mentality of owning a person is conditioned into kids via all kinds of subliminal messaging, not least of which is the one home with them most hours of their young lives. They create the society of tomorrow! And this 'owning' mentality is dangerous! It fosters conflict and deep seated rejection when someone gets stuck to a person who refuses to be loyal (owned). JWs have that 'We own you' psychology so you cant work out your own life! A partner should be one who brings a person out of themselves. All exJWs should attend an orgyfest and go home to a glass of hot milk and a warm bed. It will surprise them!

No not all men cheat just like not all women cheat. I think this poster nailed it with this comment:
I have never cheated on anyone, especially my wife. However, as I have told the wife in the past, I'm a good dog, but you have to pet me once in a while if you expect me to stay on the porch. Hopefully, I get "petted" tonight.
When I was dating my second husband he said he would always treat me like a queen and he did then and he still does, but I also treat him like a king.
Love is mutual respect of each other. Those who cheat don't have love either for themselves or the one they've betroth, that is sad everyone looses especially the children in the marriage.

It would be interesting if the above husbands would respond to the question from the Biblical perspective, "Have you ever looked upon a woman so as to have committed adultery in your heart". Many acknowledge that they masturbate. What about a man who does so while looking at a picture of a nekkid woman? (like Whoopi Goldberg)

depends on what you think flirting is. I know of couples who are so possessive of their spouses that even talking to the opposite sex is grounds for accusations of cheating, flirting or not.
I don't own my spouse and I trust him. Likewise with him. When I met my hubby he was doing a lot of fashion shows, I even went to a few. Beautiful women all over the place. Did he flirt? Maybe. Was I worried over it? No, cause I knew what kind of man I have, very loyal and loving. Do I flirt Yep. Am I showing disrepect for my hubby? No, cuz I know not to cross the line.
Been married almost 15 years now.

I used to think so. Then I stayed a virgin 28 years. If I could go with out it then it is possible others could too.

I have to say any body that thinks flirting is cheating is better off not getting married.
