I'm married and I have a crush. It's happened before and it takes over and is all consuming. How do I stop it?!
I'm afraid I might say something to the person because we communicate every day.

You need to see a therapist especially if this has happened before. You need to work out why you are doing this when you are married as this behaviour is not fair on your OH.

Look I'm sure other people have crushes. Do I really need a therapist? How do other people stop them?

They just fizzle out.

Use it as being fired up and jump your husband instead.

Old saying, best way to get over a man get under another and you have one right there to get over/under.

Have a fun weekend

I doubt you need a therapist.. crushes are perfectly normal. But don't view communication with your crush as inevitable, it's a choice (despite what the media portrayal of romance says). If you want to stay married just don't act on it.

You have to try and distance yourself.

Close your eyes and think of him having … a massive poo!

Just think of it as a distraction, the feelings will fade, most of it is just made up stuff in your head of how you want them to be.
Just because you have feelings for someone doesn't mean you have to act on them. Think of the consequences further on down the line.

Distance, and time. Use the energy to ignite things with your husband.

Nothing wrong with a crush but if you're thinking of acting on it it's then bordering on emotional affair territory and stops being innocent.

What behaviour has she done wrong? It's a feeling not an action! Being married doesn't shut you off from the rest of the world.
