My Husband Is A Flirt

My husband is a born flirt. We have been married for 11 years. I have put up with it all these years as it seemed harmless. He also has a roving eye but thankfully, until now, he has kept his hands to himself. Recently he put his hands on a lady, uninvited, and she called in the police. Fortunately, she did not make thinks nasty for us. My husband tries to blow it off now that he knows there is not going to be any repercussions. But, now, I am worried about how that incident will affect my trust/respect in him. What should I do?
It sounds like he got a wake up call about flirting and going too far. I would think that now he would think more than twice about overstepping the boundary. Without knowing more details about the circumstances it sounds like he put himself in a bad situation. We all can make mistakes and make bad decisions, but unless he takes ownership of his mistake neither he nor you will be able to put this totally behind you. You need to work towards that either through conversation or counseling.

I have a quick question regarding flirting. My husband and I have been married for four years now and have a child together. Last year he was taking some classes at a local university and I just stumbled upon some emails that he exchanged with a female student. They were flirting in the emails, he emailed her a few times asking what classes she will be taking (so that he could register for them as well), complimenting her outfits and things like that. Then I saw some new ones from a month or two ago where he contacted her and was asking how she was doing, if she still worked at the same place, etc. It really hurt my feelings to read the emails. I felt like I was being disrecpected and especially because I have been noticing that my husband is not as affectionate anymore towards me and barely ever gives me a compliment anymore. Do you think this is just innocent flirting and is it ok? I don’t exchange flirty emails with anyone. Am I over reacting maybe?
Thank You!
