I am a loyal guy-i never cheated, never will and if a female where to come onto me, id push her away and firmly tell her i am taken and walk away. No way i will ever risk my current relationship. I have been with my girl for almost 8 years and we are pretty happy. We respect each other and i am very happy, i still feel like we have the Honey moon cycle after all these years. However there has been some recent tension and i take full accountability and could use some advice. We both have our own celebrity crushes and we talk about it and share it with each other. We went out one day and we had this waitress. I never flirted with the waitress, i didn't conversate with her at all but i was polite as you should with service industry workers-and its good my girlfriend acknowledges this. But The waitress looked so much like one of my celebrity crushes so i told my girl that and said "she's pretty, she looks like my Lisa Cardelini" - i didn't think anything of it and it just came out. It really upset my partner to the point she walked out of the restaurant and even came back to the restaurant to the waitress' face to tell her how u gly she looked-my comment really did hurt my girl. It became this huge fight (her feelings are not up for debate). I apologized profusely and reassured her i would never do anything to harm our relationship and it just came out and i didn't mean to hurt her lift that waitress up when i should have lifted my girl up now she doesn't trust me and its been almost a couple weeks. We live together but she's not talking to me and we are sleeping in separate rooms. In her opinion i basically cheated. Is it wrong to find other people attractive no matter how loyal you are? I dont know how else to make her forgive me and to stop this tension. I meant it when i apologized.
As a wise man once said, "Pal, you have eyes, it is ok to look. As long as you don't touch."
Basically, even if you are in a relationship it is ok to admire the beauty of other women as long add you understand there is a line you shouldn't cross: you have a SO you must be faithful to.
As long as that line is never crossed in any way, it is ok.
Most Helpful Opinions
Attraction is almost always based on physical appearance. Whether a woman is single, married, or other does not affect how attractive she is to a guy.
Yes you can. It's in your nature to admire something that looks good. Once you acknowledge that it's just admiration you'll be fine.
You don't just magically stop noticing attractive people just because you're in a relationship.
