I don't like my girlfriend's flirty 'jokes' -
August 14th 2018, 02:53 AM
Hi
I don’t really know how to deal with this and I don’t know if I’m over reacting.
My girlfriend is very outgoing and she is very flirty with my friends.
She likes playing a joke on them because she thinks it’s funny to see their reaction.
I know she only means it as a joke but I’m not comfortable with it and when I try to speak to her she tells me it’s only a joke and I need to lighten up.

I'm sorry about that, though it is disrespectful when a significant other flirts with others. Try telling her about how it makes you feel and that you understand it is a joke but it needs to stop. If she still flirts I recommend talking to your parents about the sitution; hopefully they can help you.
Maybe also talk to your friends and ask them to not react to the flirts. Its likely she'll stop if there's no reaction.
Hopefully this helps.
I can reach out

Hey there,
I agree with the above poster. You need to sit your girlfriend down and talk to her and really tell her how that makes you feel. It's one thing to make a couple jokes here and there and be flirty BUT it's still very disrespectful towards you and your relationship. When you're with someone you shouldn't want to make flirty jokes at other people for their reactions - even if it's just a joke. If she doesn't take your feelings seriously and you guys cannot come up with a proper solution, then it might be time to part ways. Anyone that doesn't respect you or your relationship isn't worth it in the end.
I've been through hell and back and came out stronger than ever.
