How do you and your spouse handle the opposite sex? I work on a predominantly female work environment. While everything is usually kept professional, what do you do when things are said that may not be as professional? Like, hey you look nice today or conversations turn a little more personal. Do you tell your spouse? Let me know your thoughts.

It happens occasionally in my work environment as well, and if it comes up somehow I tell her (not in a confession type way because we are both okay with it) but otherwise I don’t go out of my way to. Unless it is a good story of course!
My husband likes it when I tell him that other guys flirt with me or make comments. Their comments in of themselves don't turn me on, but I like the reaction I get out of my husband when I tell him about them. It's fun seeing him know that I'm desired by others. It even happened at church once and I told him what the comment was, but not who made it. It drove him CRAZY for a week trying to figure out who it was and became kind of a little cat and mouse game that entertained me. I eventually told him, and when I did it was kind of anti-climatic because the guy who made the comment was an old guy, but it was still fun seeing him get all hot and bothered trying to figure out who at church would say something like that.
I work in a very professional environment but it does happen from time to time. Actually I struggle with self image so I enjoy hearing when I look nice. I acknowledge the comment but don’t pursue it.
I don’t feel like I can tell my husband about it. I don’t feel like I have crossed a line. I don’t share with him technical conversations either. I feel a general update is sufficient.
