Depends on whether these were good friends or just people she hardly knew. My grandsons girlfriends/wife are very touchy feely with all their friends men and women they are just very close and neither side is uncomfortable with each others behaviour. Its down to your son to discuss it with her and tell her how he is feeling.

Difficult to watch, but I think you have to leave it to your son to talk to his partner if he feels the need. Marriage needs to be based on trust and honesty, but they have to sort it out themselves.

Some behaviour can be a form of nerves when people are in a new situation, and some girls do flirt, but mean it to be just that, but it can be a dangerous game.

She's a lovely girl. Funny, sweet and my son adores her. But...I've seen her at a few social gatherings in the past few months and I'm a bit concerned by how flirtatious she is with other men. I know some people are more naturally touchy feely than others but it's really uncomfortable to watch. I suspect my son isn't particularly happy about it either. He made some under his breath comment the last time we were out at a family party and she was all but sitting on someone else's lap!
I'm not sure there's anything I can 'do' as such. But I am concerned. They're due to get married next year.
