I'm in a relationship BUT..

I fancy other people! I have never cheated but I'm always attracted to other men and develop crushes. I have NEVER cheated but I just can't help it.

I think you should set your boyfriend free, then, and do whatever you want.

I don't think you're too invested in your boyfriend.. perhaps he/she isn't enough for you..

Unrequitedlove · 10/12/2016 17:08

He..

How old are you?

You sound young.

When you get a bit older you will realise that being in a relationship doesn't mean you stop fancying other people. You just don't act on it.

It's life.

I'm 24. Been together 6 years. No issues in the relationship. I just find other men attractive and fancy other people. Never acted on anything. Just needed to let it out

You're probably too young to have tied yourself down to one person tbh. It works for some but not for others.

There's nothing wrong with fancying other people as long as you don't act on it.

ageingrunner · 10/12/2016 17:20

Don't waste your 20s on someone boring who you don't love though, op. If you think he fits that description, get rid. Speaking from experience here.

I think everyone fancies other people from time to time, even those in long term relationships. Problems only arise when you act on those feelings.
There's a world of a difference between fancying someone and bring in love.

It's normal to fancy other people, the issue is whether you are otherwise happy in your relationship?
