Been with DP 15 years, 2 DC. We've had several rough patches over the last few years but overall I'd saythings are pretty good now.

So why do I have this ridiculous crush on my colleague that I just can't shake?! I'm fairly certain he likes me too and we had a bit of a 'moment' on a works night out. Luckily I was sober enough to make sure I didn't do anything daft.

He's not even really my type, so why am I mooning about like a teenager over him?! I feel ridiculous, and am actually really cross at myself.

So come on, oh wise mumsnetters - I've got my hard hat, let me have it!

There is nothing wrong with having a crush! As long as you don't act on it, of course. It will fade in time, but enjoy the fantasies while they last.

Its pretty common to go through phases of this, especially if you've been with your DP for so long. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. Sub-consciously you might be looking for excitement.
As long as you still love your DP and don't do anything I see no harm in it. Just be careful that next time you're on a works night out, you don't have a few drinks and take things further.
