… should you leave your partner / husband? Is it really that simple? Or is it something that can happen in a long term healthy relationship, so long as it isn’t acted upon?

My aibu is… is it unreasonable to STAY in a marriage, when often wondering what it would be like to sleep with another man? (But no intention of acting on these thoughts and no one in particular fantasised about!)

I think because it's not about a particular person it's just harmless curiosity and I wouldn't worry too much about it x

There’s a similar thread in Relationship, Do you ever fantasise about someone else. Lots of people do fantasise, I do with very, very long time ago partners, never seen them in years, no intention of doing anything about it, I love my DH very much.
