Thinking about someone else

Ive changed my name as this is slightly embarrassing
Has anyone else had a crush on someone whilst happily married?
its a dad on the school run who has a son in the same class as mine, we literally don’t say any more than hello or smile at each other when we walk passed each other but I feel like an embarrassed school girl whenever I see him, which luckily isn’t often as his partner usually picks up the children, who I actually casually chat to if I see her. She’s lovely and I’m sure they are very happy.
i suppose some wouldn’t say it’s harmless as I am married but I wouldn’t dream of acting on it . . . I suppose what I’m asking is is it wrong to fantasise about someone else?

It is normal for us to have crushes at some stage in our lives. It happened to me too. I'm also married and had a crush on a member of school staff 😳. It was really difficult and embarrassing but it has passed now. When you're in it it's really hard to think about anything else.
Sometimes it can be a sign something is missing from our lives. I think in my case I was working very part time, doing everything for the kids, sort of lost myself a bit and was really bored and this person was an interesting distraction.

I think it’s somewhat common to fantasize about someone else while married here and there. I’m in the same boat right now, although I can’t say I’m happily married. But yeah I feel you on the giddy school girl feeling haha
