- Avoid labels and jargon.
Why am I attracted to someone else while in a relationship?
Having a crush on someone other than your partner while you’re in a relationship is totally normal. “Crushes make people feel attractive and alive, and people often get them even when they are very committed to their partners, but the relationship is no longer in that swooning honeymoon phase.”
Is it normal to have a crush when you’re in a relationship?
“It’s fairly normal as your relationship becomes more committed that you might have these emotions for someone else,” says Ms Derham. But it can be a sign that things might be getting a bit routine. “People can have crushes when a relationship is going a bit stale, and a partner has lost interest,” says Ms Koens.
How do you know if you’re not happy in your relationship?
Signs your relationship could be in trouble and that you may not be happy in your relationship include: You look for excuses not to see them/be at home. You don’t share much anymore. You’re tempted to stray. You think you would be happier living a different life. You’re distracting yourself with booze and/or drugs.
How do you know if you’re attracted to someone?
1. You like them for them. Maybe your relationship is going really well. You’re happy and fulfilled with your partner, and genuinely want to keep building your life with them. In this case, if you’ve met someone you’re attracted to, it might entirely be down to the connection you have with that particular individual.
Should I tell my boyfriend that I’m interested in seeing other people?
If you genuinely think that you may be happier with another person or that your current relationship is no longer making you happy, then I would consider talking to your boyfriend and voicing the fact that you are interested in seeing other people.
Why do I have feelings for other people besides my boyfriend?
Of course, sometimes there are underlying causes in the form of issues with the relationship you’re in. The feelings you’ve developed for someone else might not have much to do with the person that you’re feeling them for, but with what’s missing from the relationship that you’re in. Maybe you’re craving physical affection.
