It really bothers me when married/separated (STILL married) guys flirt with me, even “christians” have done it...
How do you react when a married person flirts with you, online or otherwise?
I'm an old fashioned kind of guy so normally I just throw stones at them and yell "Adulterer adulterer!!".
Seriously, it's a very uncomfortable situation. I would tend to avoid the person, if possible. If not, and it kept up I'd just have to be more direct with them and tell them I'm not comfortable with them flirting with me. Online, I just don't respond to any private messages if I know that's the situation they're in. I'm not going to fill any kind of void, etc. there.
I am usually not comfortable spending time alone with anyone who is in a relationship, whether married or not (that certainly includes people who are separated).
I also would NEVER even come close to flirting with another woman if I was in a relationship. I don't care who sees it as "innocent" or "just fun" or whatever. To me, it would be incredibly disrespectful to the woman I was with. I would expect her to be the same as me on that one. If not, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
Unfortunately the church has grown to reflect the world instead of being salt and light to the world. So many people in the church have grown to accept that if a person is "separated" from an "unhappy" marriage that is ok for them to date. For the most part much of the church has thrown out Biblical values as it pertains to Godly marriage, and biblical reason for divorce. The church has somehow decided that we deserve happiness in all things first and foremost ahead of God's work in our lives to produce Holiness.
Amen. So true.
