I think I always knew she was the type...extrovert, talkative life of the party type.
There was a birthday party for my nephew, which allot of my family attended. My cousin & his wife where there, I get along well with my cousin & his wife.
The issue is my wife dropped two compliments on my male cousin (within ear shot), first was about how good his complexion looks now & then about his shoes. My wife has one of those personalities that everyone enjoys including my cousin, he likes to talk to her & I told my wife such, I even jokingly said if we were not married he would try and make a play.
She also always complains about my sister-in laws dad telling her crude jokes & commenting on what see is wearing
The question is to both the men & women?? Is my wife being a knowing flirt or I am being jealous and possessive??
I think she likes the attention & invites it.....

She complimented his skin and shoes within ear shot? That's nothing at all! I'm sure she was just being friendly. If she was hitting on him I bet she'd do it so no one else could hear them. If she keeps on doing this just tell her that all the compliments come off as flirting and she should cool it a little but not in an angry confrontational way! An angry jealous spouse is never good.

Complimenting and flirting are behaviors that are miles apart. Some people are simply very gregarious and complimentary. If I were you, I'd be proud you had a wife who is so well-liked and comfortable around people.

Dude, you can perceive the things which are happening around you with you're wife in center can be viewed in two different dimensions.

Regarding Old Man:- She might wants you to know.. that she attracts the attention of an old man.. enjoying his jokes and his attention on her appearance compliments as comments & want to make you jealous.But, If you observe, she didn't asked him to stop playing crude jokes & comments on her.. which means, although she dislikes but enjoys his attention on her.

Regarding you're cousin:
(a) He might be good.. But, the way which you're wife complementing him within ear short.. that too.. on his good complexion.. implies your wife have eye's on him and trying to catch his attention through complimenting. If she doesn't have second thoughts on him.. she might have been told it openly and audible to every one there.

(b) complementing on his shoes.. that too in ears.. is giving hint for him.. i am observing you & you caught my attention.. It's an indirect invitation to him through hints.

I sense, there is a communication gap between you and you're wife after 11years of marriage and you again need to spark the light in between you as couple by re-energizing your sex life with her strongly and emotionally.

due to this gap, she's seeking enjoyment in flirting & catching others attention upon her.. Yes, she likes attention & invites it.. its common with all women.. but, some will cross line and you're job is to seek not her crossing line by generating a new spark in sexual life with her which automatically strengthen bond ties between you both emotionally & puts together. Importantly, stops her from those activities.
