MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Can happily married people still flirt with other people? Is it okay to have close friendships with someone you could be attracted to? Julie and David Bulitt are back from their summer break and kicking off a new season of Conversations for Couples with a topic that sparks plenty of debate: the two F's, flirting and friendships outside the relationship.
Julie, a family therapist for more than 30 years, and David, a divorce and family lawyer for more than 35 years, go back and forth on where playful fun ends and crossing the line begins. They explore the difference between intent and behavior, why the person on the receiving end may not read your flirting the way you meant it, and the "would you do it in front of your spouse" test. From there, the conversation turns to opposite sex friendships, lifelong friends who predate the relationship, staying friends with an ex, work wives and work husbands, and late night texts that can quietly erode trust.
Along the way, they introduce a third letter, the C word: compromise. And they close with a reminder that the most important flirting happens inside your relationship, plus a simple tip for bringing playfulness back when it has faded.
