Nice to hear both sides of it for a change. The advantage of British, childless and ugly - I never get approached by girls in bikinis, sadly :(

If you don't want your husband to talk to women in bikinis, then just take him to a nude beach.

She’s still not letting this go. This family needs to avoid the beach and vacation with the Amish instead.

Are people ignoring the fact that the wife said the woman was ignoring her and only talking to her husband? Sorry but she's justified being suspicious of her. I'd be pissed too!! When we went to Italy on vacation the girl was only acknowledging my fiancé and it was as if I wasn't there. I kept my mouth shut but it's wrong and rude!

“I don’t need everyone on Reddit to chime in” As you post on Reddit asking for an opinion… where the readers are asked to chime in?

Who knows whether the woman is flirting?The wife says they kept running into her - well, it's a resort, they're going to see the same people over and over. From the comment about the nurse saying his son was lucky to get the blond hair and blue eyes, I'm inferring the wife has a real problem here. She seems to think everyone is flirting with hubby.

People pointing out that the woman was flirting with her husband are missing the point. If that were the issue, then why is she mad at her husband considering she trusts him, acknowledges that he's oblivious to it, etc. Her whole addendum is trying to justtify her actions and feelings towards her husband and, frankly, she sounds annoying AF. "I'll try and work on my insecurities and let him talk to moms in bikinis," She's being sarcastic here but I also doubt she'll really learn anything based on how longwinded and indignant her whole ramble was. There's nothing wrong with being upset that someone is flirting with your partner. If they're not reciprocating then why do you have an issue with it? If your issue is that your husband continues to do so but in a non-problematic way, that's a YOU problem and something to talk about with your spouse. Not getting angry and yelling at them and then posting is on the internet and getting mad when most everyone doesn't take you side. GROW UP.

This is one of those situations where I wish people had learned how to communicate more open and honestly. I think what's actually going on is that she feels insecure in this situation and needs him to reassure her, so that she feels safe and secure in their relationship. And if she had actually said that, he would have tried to give her what she needs. But because she communicated it as "you are wrong, and that woman is wrong", he will try to defend himself and try to defend that woman, because he sincerely disagrees. So this way of communicating, gives her the opposite of what she really wants. I wish she had communicated differently. And I wish he would not just react to what she's saying, but think about what she could actually feel and need, and respond to THAT instead of responding to her accusation. Because if he had responded by making her feel that he finds her the most beautiful and amazing woman and he has zero interest in anyone else, the problem would just fade away.

1. I’m no looker. 2. I’ve only had this happen once. 3. My partner was secure enough to find it amusing rather than a threat. We were on a beach enjoying the sun and surf kayaking when the conditions were favourable. A woman started talking to me as I was bringing my boat in, we chatted, talked about the boat (they are an odd looking shape), and probably spoke for 5 minutes. My partner was sat up on a sandy gruff watching from afar. When I got back her first words were ‘did you enjoy her flirting with you?’, honestly I had no idea, she described her body language and how blatant it was. My genuine look of bemusement clearly indicated I had no idea, from that point onward she deliberately flirted with me in public, just playfully winding me up about my complete lack of awareness when it comes to ‘reading the room’ 😂 a win for me I guess, getting loving attention from her was always nice even when she was taking the mickey. How many other times have I missed the signals? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm glad the wife owned it. I don't recall any marriage vow stating that the husband will never talk to an attractive woman ever again.

It’s obvious the wife is a very insecure and jealous wife. That is not necessarily a bad thing (as long as the husband knows and understands this, which I think he does now). The husband was not in the wrong, and the wife needs to work on it. My wife used to tell me I was oblivious (when I was younger), so I started avoiding those situations … because I already had the best of everything! Wife … lighten up, husband … be a tad more perceptive. Then, it’ll be cool!

I feel like this is Maureen and Joanne from Rent "There will ALWAYS be women in rubber flirting with me!!!!" But yes I agree the fact that he didn't even notice what she was wearing until he got back to his wife and she pointed it out proves it was nothing but small talk to him and that's all that matters. The fact that this woman couldn't see that he clearly wasn't interested in her and kept trying to flirt just makes her look sad and probably after the 2nd encounter I would have just laughed at her as she walked away, been like WOW somebody needs to learn to take a hint. However she did say they were on a resort so you know there's only so many places to go on a resort and everybody has to eat and is going to go to the bar ect. she could have thought it was a hallmark movie where you make friends with people you randomly meet at the resort and then hang out the rest of the vacation

I don't think her husband had any bad intentions, but the woman was clearly flirting, and I think talking to a flirting stranger for 10 minutes is a bit too long. Maybe the wife can let this go and the husband can keep this in mind for future reference.

If your husband with 3-year-old child with you (who he at some point found you attractive enough to marry) tells you not to worry about a thing, then don't worry... otherwise, it starts to get toxic (your girlfriend?) this is a crack that will wedge you into singledom.

In my younger days, apparently I got flirted with a lot... I only found this out after talking to my wife about what is/isn't flirting. Hit on, absolutely knew it was happening... usually. But those are very different things.

To the wife many men do not read when women are flirting. However you wanted him to notice the bikini and go opps isn't it better he didn't. If he looked I'd say that is a bigger problem.

How cares if the lady was flirting, he wasn't interested. End of argument. Wife needs a reality check.. when a person flirts with your partner and your partner doesn't respond then you have nothing to worry about, it's when your partner responsible to tgat flirting with their own flirting then you have a concern. Learn to read your partners body language

Bikini lady may have been flirting, but the wife definitely needs therapy to deal with her insecurities. She trusts her husband, supposedly, so regardless of whether or not women are flirting with him, she shouldn't be getting all aggressive with him when he's done nothing wrong.

To the wife I have to say that you are wrong for chastising your husband because a woman in a skimpy bikini was conversing with him about your own son, you were in Miami on a beach with your husband playing with your son while you were sunbathing. Did you ever consider that she might have been a single mother who has her own child or children and all she really wanted to do was to chat with a man with his son? Maybe she read the situation differently and thought that he was like her a single Dad with his son at the beach… the sad part of the situation is that you could have misinterpreted the situation and you are accusing her of flirting with your husband AND accusing your husband of being disrespectful to you his wife who he has said he loves with all of his heart. Jealousy is the #1 cause of divorce today with infidelity being a close second, I know this because I was married to two different women who both accused me of cheating and flirting with other women and both ended badly.

Men, reading body language? Why not pigs that can fly?

Men age like fine wine, women can be insecure about their aging. Men with small children are chick magnets, but women with small children are mothers. Vacationing at the beach will always expose things you don't want to see.

The simple fact that hubby did not bite was enough for the event to be buried forever. Wife seriously needs to sort out her insecurities or she's gonna lose her lovely husband. Maybe all these women who keep coming onto him can see that she doesn't deserve him, that's why they swarm.

Guess wife needs reassurance

After reading these comments alot of people don't get it so let me explain why the wife was upset in this scenario. The husband was approached by a complete stranger he doesn't know from a hole in the wall & who was clearly flirting with him from the very beginning. He waited until his son got bored to end the conversation instead of getting up after a "keep it short, sweet & to the point" discussion with the flirter. He failed to look directly behind him to even acknowledge his wife the ENTIRE time or he can get up to introduce her. Why does the wife have to get up from her comfort zone to introduce herself or intervene?? Not only that re-read the husband's post, he clearly failed to mention the flirter magically popped up out of no where within their space & completely disregarded his wife like she didn't even exist the duration of the vacation. OP's husband is the AH, he is beyond wrong & obviously enjoyed the attention.
