Ask Kari: My husband is flirting with other people on Facebook – what should I do?

Dear Kari,

I recently looked at my husband’s Facebook page and noticed that he is flirty with other people. What should I do? I don’t think that he has ever stepped out on me, but I do not like the fact that he feels comfortable flirting with other women since he is married.

--Concerned Wife

Dear Concerned Wife,

Social media can go well, and then it can go terribly wrong. I suggest that you pick a good time to talk with your husband privately and be honest about what you saw and how it made you feel. Then, I believe it is fair to request that he establish more respectful boundaries for your relationship by removing online flirting as an option in your relationship.
