If someone was to tell your partner that he or she is attractive, do u get jealous, say nothing, or just wholeheartedly agree?
If your partner accepted the compliment and complimented the other person back...would u consider this flirting?

Nah. They might genuinely think the other is pretty or handsome or whatever. That doesn't mean that they're going home together. When people have complimented my last girlfriend, I've just agreed, cause she was a great girl. I never even thought about the possiblity of anyone taking her, so I never thought of it as flirting. And even if it was, I wouldn't care, because I remembered that the slept in my bed at night.

I think it depends on the person who is paying the compliment, and also the partner, i would personally wholeheartedly agree, and i wouldent consider it flirting if she accepted the compliment, because when some says something good about you, you have to say something good in return.

If you overhear the compliment you can always say:
"That is why I made her/him mine". That way you can make it known to the person making the compliment w/o making a scene that the person being complimented is spoken for (and it reaffirms to your partner that your feelings are still strong).
BTW - there is nothing wrong with your partner accepting the compliment - everyone likes to have their ego stroked once in a while.

Wholeheartedly agree, I'm also complimented because I know I'm the one going home with her!
It's also a reflection on me because I allow her to be herself, the person I fell in love with.
If my partner returns the compliment I know it's out of her being polite and a generally nice person. Again...the person I fell in love with!

When that happens, I feel very proud of her, and also take it as a compliment to myself for having someone so nice looking and attractive as my partner.
If she compliments the person back, I know she does it because she is very polite and also shy, I would never consider it to be flirting.

Well if it is just a normal compliment i dont really mind, like that never bothers me, unless it goes too far and i know there is something else behind the compliment...
And same goes witht complimenting back, dosent bother me unless it goes to far thats when i consider it flirting.

I would agree with them! I want my honey-buns to hear everything nice about himself from the world. He is a great man, and a hot one, and he deserves to feel wonderful. I am not at all threatened. There is no leash here. If he wanted to leave, it wouldn't be predicated on someone finding him attractive.
YEARS ago (15 to be exact) he was a professional dancer (just in the chorus, not a principle)... and old men and young women used to ogle him all the time. One even asked for his belt as a souvenir!* At the end of the day, it's my arms he is curling into.
* for male dancers, a 'belt' is like a jock strap.

If someone compliments Truckinotter, I heartily agree with them. She should be praised more as she too often underpraises herself; so I make certain to laud her as much as I can. No, I certainly wouldn't consider it flirting.
I only once considered a person flirting with her. It was her date from a prom and he had treated her shabbily at it. I let him know that she now had someone who treated her far better and who adores her. To me she outshines the sun.

I take is as a compliment that others find my partner attractive. It shows me that other people can see the quailites in my partner that I seen when we met and it reminds me of the things that began our attraction.
I don't get jealous. I trust my partner and my partner trusts me.

I wholeheartedly agree and consider myself lucky all the time. We both flirt ... so its of no consequence. ;) We're both pretty good looking (if I can say so without sounding conceited) and people tell us all the time we're a very good looking couple. I have to say we are. ;) lol
