DP and I have been together for a couple of years. House together etc. Not married and no children.
Have had a lot of financial and work strain recently. Everything seems to go wrong for us and I feel we have drifted. I want desperately for us to be back in love and be like we were a year and a half ago.
However.. I’ve recently been introduced to someone through DP. I have definitely developed feelings for them and can’t stop thinking about them. I’m wondering if this will pass and it’s just a normal part of a long term relationship and I’m overthinking as I feel absolutely horrendous about it. Can’t stop crying, every time I look at DP I feel awful and like I have betrayed him. Nothing has happened and I don’t think it ever would. The other person lives overseas, we don’t chat or anything only when we have met up with them as a couple. I don’t know if I’m just developing feelings for the first person I get along with because I feel so alone and DP and I have had a hard time recently.
What would you do? Please don’t tell me how horrible and selfish I am as I already know. All I want is to feel in love with DP again and stop thinking about this other person!
