depends on many many other aspects.

I think of my Dp with another woman and get a bit turned on.

If I imagine my DH with another woman, I feel detached too - because I know it'd never happen. If I thought that there was a possibility, I would hate it. But I'm totally secure in the knowledge that it's just silly fiction in my head & I find it impossible to get an emotional reaction from that.

It depends why you feel detached...

howtotellmum · 07/04/2009 21:21

I am using the image to see if it makes me feel jealous- and it doesn't.

Hmmm, I don't necessarily think it is a problem especially if you have been together a long time.

When you have been in a relationship a long time, I think you lose the strength of emotion in many areas, you don't feel jealous, don't really feel angry etc.

I think there must be other signs of you thinking you want to end it....aren't there???

howtotellmum · 07/04/2009 21:21

I feeldetached because I don't think I really love im any more- only as a friend.

My exdp did screw around and I can actually enjoy the fantasy of imagining it now that it is a little in the past. That makes me quite odd I think.

My XH had sex with a prostitute, and my only thought was, 'You paid £200? Where the fuck did you get that money from with our budget?'

Had it been someone he actually liked or had any emotional relationship with, maybe I would have felt differently. But I think the relationship was so far down the toilet at that point it wouldn't have mattered.

Imagining isn't reality. You don't know how you'd really feel if it happened.

Simplysally · 07/04/2009 21:28

In RL I'd be shattered but as a fantasy it's ok. Don't think I'd tell him though.

fourkids · 07/04/2009 21:38

hmm...I guess not necessarily...does it make you think "thank god, maybe he'll leave ME alone now"?

SuziSeis · 07/04/2009 21:42

i would be jealous

angry

no - livid

debs05 · 07/04/2009 21:44

Been cheated on not nice and so jealous

Springhassprung · 08/04/2009 14:52

I would feel sick with jealousy, even at the thought of it. Think I might have some ishoos tho

Portoeufino · 08/04/2009 15:18

Strangely I've been thinking about this, as I'm reading the "19th Wife" which about the Mormons and Polygamy. (Can you imagine your DH bringing home a new wife whenever he felt like it and taking turns to spend the night with you?) Another thread there I think....

I would definitely feel jealous imagining DH with another woman. I don't feel detached about it - maybe that's a sign that i'm not 100% convinced he wouldn't.....?

screamingabdab · 08/04/2009 17:56

I would feel distraught, jealous

Abi12 · 08/04/2009 18:01

It makes me feel jealous - and horny!
