Despite being happily married have you ever met another man and thought another time another place me and you would have been good together?

[Ihave]

Have you?

Yes, just before I got married. There was a teacher I worked with who I was really good friends with, but there was a real spark between us, and he admitted to having a bit of a thing for me. If I wasn't about to get married, we would have more than likely got together, but I obviously wasn't in a position to take things any further.

No not at all not with DH.

But in previous relationships, including a very long term live-in one, yes, a couple of times I met a startling man who I felt that way about. But I didn't act on it.

yes, but have been careful to give myself a stiff talking too as too many daydream can be bad!!!! Have had a few fantasies over the years, but love DH too much to ever want to leave him or put into practice.

yes.

yes, a guy I work with (AAARRGH!)
but he is happily married and so am I so nothing would ever come of it
I'm very fond of his wife too (although do sometimes think "you lucky so and so" - only sporadically thankfully!)
definate case of "different time different place" for me, no idea how he feels - we are great friends but I would NEVER bring it up

No. never even seen one that is more handsome. not yet at least.

Not 'arf!

No way, no one would ever come close to special my dp is.

Once. Yes.

Yes and then oddly my dh said to me that if he was a woman that this particular friend would be the person he would want to marry!

Not sure if its reassuring that we have the same tastes or just plain weird!

Not ever for 12 years, and then suddenly, this year, yes. Gulp. Nothing could ever come of it though. Definately different time, different place scenario. Quite unsettling though, for it happen after such a long time without even looking at another man.

However special anyone's dp is, it's ridiculous to suggest that there's only one man in the whole world for you.

So... no harm in window shopping, that's what I say!

Wouldn't trade in dh, but no harm admiring other models

It's not just about partners though, is it? We probably all occasionally look back at particular choices we made (jobs to take, places to live) and think aobut how much difference it might have made if we'd taken the other decision.

And it's certainly not unreasonable to find other people attractive: there is, for everyone, a reasonably large pool of potential long-term partners if a long term couple relationship is what you want.

A good friend of ours certainly used to fancy me. I married DH though, and then he married someone else who we like very much. He was drunk once and told me that he fell in love with me the first time that he met me! It was around our respective other halves so I chose to interpret it in a non-romantic sense. He and I certainly feel very "easy" together, in the sense that it is no effort at all to be with him, we can chat, we can be silent, everything is very comfortable. I think that he's quite attractive, but I'm very glad I married DH. I don't think that the grass is greener.

i have. on one occasion. But never really wanted it to happen otherwise i wouldn't have my gorgeous ds.

yes...

I wouldn't have ever wanted to substitute mine for my DH though - 'cos domesticity and supermarket shopping and all that ruins things, doesn't it?

ha ha brilliant

Yes, but then when you imagine going to B&Q with them on a sunday afternoon and arguing about how to load a dishwasher them you realise it would have probably turned out crap anyway .

But plenty of cor if I wasn't married.... HEY hold on I am single now, single men look out woo hoo !!! .

No, but I have wondered what it would be like to fuck other men I've seen or met wildly and then leave the way I used to before I met DH.

Oh, well, I have plenty of fond memories to keep me company in my old age .

Yes and I shagged hm and his name was George Clooney and JCB man and man from TV show with dangerous anima;s BUt not the ded one hyut the other one and custy fqncies mr maker
