Is he looking for an affair?

Question

Two married co-workers spend months casually flirting – stares, sensual glances, verbal flirting, etc. At a work function, both end up sitting at the same table, with the respective spouses. The woman is above-average attractive and in her 20s, and the guy’s wife is cold towards her. After some awkwardness in introductions, the guy and woman start flirting.

The woman’s husband leans in to speak in her ear, the guy’s wife has her back to the woman… Then the married guy simply sits, stares in to the woman’s eyes and smiles as her husband is talking in her ear. The woman stares back and silently mouths “hi” to him. Throughout the evening, they can’t keep their eyes off each other, even with their spouses right next to them. The flirting has intensified lately.

Does doing this, even in front of his wife mean that he wants an affair?

Answer 1

They are already fully engaged in the affair...you are the only one out of the loop!

Answer 2

Not a good thing, Are you one of the involved ???  

Answer 3

It may not mean he wants an affair, but it is surely disrespectful and that is worse in my opinion.

Answer 4

I'm sick of this same bloody question.

Answer 5

It could mean a lot of things :)  They either want an affair, they are already having an affair, or they just like to flirt :)  It could also be possible that they have open relationships with their spouses and everything is out in the open  :)

Answer 6

Are you writing a story for an erotica book?

Answer 7

It just sounds like a ridiculous situation if you ask me. Who cares if they want to have an affair or not, they not being honorable to their spouses.

Answer 8

Grow up.

Answer 9

not good/appropriate actions.. it really is a slippery slope... he is enjoying her attention, but his marriage will be destroyed very quickly... he needs to man-up and only deal with the co-worker professionally.. some places will fire them both..  

Answer 10

He's already having an affair ya DOLT!

Answer 11

I'm sick of this question! It was wrong when You first asked/did it and just because time has passed doesn't make it any less wrong.

Answer 12

Asking again, are we?

Answer 13

Yes.  Where were you during all this?  Your quite the little snoop.

Answer 14

i would be worried that's for sure

Answer 15

You're having one and it's called an emotional affair and it can only end badly. If you need to have that old spice in a relationship learn to poll dance for your husband and try and refresh that first. Otherwise, for the love of God lady, don't find the flirting you seem to need right now at the office. Find a gym dude to wink at or something.  

Answer 16

Well he is not looking for Easter Eggs!!!

He is flirting and glancing, those are serious signs of attraction.

By the way..his wife outta slap him. How disrespectful can a person be.

Answer 17

This is real trouble,and yes,if they are not already having the affair,it will start VERY soon.People like this don't care if  their spouse is sitting right there,it is a challenge,and seems more dangerous.In my opinion,both of these people are trash,and deserve each other.

Answer 18

So what isn't the guy's wife doing to make him look at her that way!!!
