you know, I think a certain small amount of flirting between people is completely normal. I mean, we are all sexual creatures and when dealing with others of the sex we are attracted to,(or sexes, whatever floats your boat) i think a little bit of affection can be completely normal. I think that one does have to be careful not to cross the boundaries of others though. The thing is to be able to differentiate between healthy flirting and unhealthy flirting.

Jinny, I know what you mean. I have been in the same situation a few times where I wasnt getting what I needed and sought it elsewhere. Have you told your SO this? Is it possible to sit down and explain to him what you feel you are missing out of the relationship? Maybe you have done this already.

Either way here are some hugs ((((hugs))))
