Fancying someone else?!

[MrsOpinionated]

I've been with dh for 9 years, married 5. I think we've got into abit of a rut, don't really have date nights etc. I haven't really realised until now.

The problem is I've developed a crush on another man. I'm normally the most loyal person - I don't normally look at other men so this has come as a real shock to me.

I keep thinking about him - I'm acting like a teenager! Is this normal? How do I forget about him?

Yes, normal for a relationship that's gone stale. You're looking for the excitement that's there when a relationship is new. Is there any way you can re-kindle the romance with your dh OP?

I definitely want to but I'm not sure how to rekindle the romance? Does anyone have any tips on how to?

The problem is also that I'm thinking about the other guy a lot and investing time in this instead.

The majority of people aren't naturally monogamous.

Talk to your DH about opening up the relationship.

Are you still attracted to your dh OP? If you are, that's a good sign that you can re-kindle the relationship. Can you try to go back to going out and socialising with each other away from the home? Maybe you're both just taking each other for granted (or he is anyway, men do tend to do this more (no offence meant to any of you lovely dh's who post on here).
