Ladies...If I flirted with you would your partner kick my a$$? Would you??

No. Actually, when you texted me last time, I pondered what he'd do if he saw the text come through because I don't "guard" my phone. Sometimes I leave it out or leave it on the charger and I don't think anything of it. I looked through our history and didn't see anything that would be any kind of smoking gun. It's all friendly-ish. Certainly nothing more than what we do here publicly in the Q&A. I could have handed my phone and told him to look through it all and wouldn't have had any guilt what-so-ever. Now, if he did react to any of it, I'd have to tell him to kiss my ass. The amount of time he has been in my life is like the blink of an eye compared to you, and I'm not about to change anything to appease him. He could either accept it or that would be the end of that. And, I say that with total confidence and no hesitation. It's the principle of the thing. I value my friendships, and if my beau wants to isolate me from people I care about, he's done for. That's one of the biggest no-nos in my book. 

He is fond of "showing me off" when we go out in public and he actually gets a kick out of it when he sees men looking at me, but if they look too long or too much, he gets defensive. He'll give them the eye or put an arm around me. I don't see anything wrong with that. But, trying to end a friendship because he's insecure would be really low. I can't picture him doing that. I really can't. He'd be jealous, but I don't think he'd start any crap over it.

Hey, maybe I should try it as a social experiment. lol
