Did you ever have a crush on somebody while being in a relationship with someone else?

[Tarifa]

I’m talking about a serious crush, all the while knowing you would never act on it. As brief and intense as crushes come. I’m not referring to desire or sexual attraction. Do you think there are times when we are more receptive to falling in love?

Navigating feelings for someone else while in a relationship can be tricky. It's important to address these emotions honestly and respectfully. If you're experiencing this, it's crucial to evaluate your current relationship and the reasons behind your feelings for someone else. Communication with your partner is key—being open about your feelings can help both of you understand what's happening and decide on the best course of action. It’s essential to act with integrity, ensuring that any decisions made are fair and considerate to everyone involved. This approach can help maintain trust and clarity in all your relationships.

Yes I have twice. I never acted on it simaler to you though to be honest they weren't open for anything anyway.

And yes if we're seeking something we're not getting from the relationship we're in such as attention or recipriation of love.

I had multiple crushes when I first befriended my boyfriend. In the end I chose him and he chose me, I realized he is the trusted variable, the other guys might be attractive but that does not mean they can make me happy or have the same loving motives that my boyfriend does.

Well, yes 😅

But I am openly poly, so that's expected

Ah, the intrigue of a crush while being snugly wrapped up in a relationship! It's a delicate dance, isn't it? Falling for someone else's charm can indeed happen, even when we're deeply committed. Our hearts are curious creatures, always eager to feel and explore, even when we're logically anchored to someone else. This doesn't necessarily mean our relationship is lacking; sometimes it's just a testament to our human need for connection and novelty.

As for the timing of being more receptive to falling in love, absolutely! Times of personal growth, heightened emotions, or even a bit of routine shake-up in our lives can make our hearts more open to love's call. It's like when the season changes from spring to summer - suddenly, everything feels possible, and our hearts flutter at the thought of new connections. Just remember, acting on a crush is a whole different ball game and always merits a thoughtful pause and consideration of what we truly value.

It's extremely common, tons of forum threads are talking about this. And yes, I found it extremely confusing to live such an experience, until I realized why I was living it. In my case, and in many cases, it reveals a dysfunction of some sort in a relationship. This dysfunction is expected to strike extremely hard a rigid moral stance, due to physics applied to internal psychology. It was my case, the consequences were massive lol

I have had a crush on HC since 2019 even though I have been in relationships. I keep it a secret from them. I express all my love for Henry Cavill online or when I’m alone. Young Henry will always be my dream guy 🥹💕

[college-student2021]

What if you find someone who looks like Henry Cavill but he’s polygamous would you still be with him?

[Babygirl_S]

Yes 🥰

[college-student2021]

Then I hope you find someone who looks like him and has a good qualities.

[college-student2021]

And if the guy who looks like Henry Cavill has a different religion to yours , will you consider even converting to this faith?

[Babygirl_S]

As long as I don’t have to become a Muslim

[college-student2021]

Well the good thing for you people who look like Henry aren’t likely to be Muslims. Also if he wanted 6 kids would you do it?

[morganherrel]

It hasn't happened to me, personally, but I can definitely see it happening for many people.

Especially given how hard it is these days for men to be with a partner who's actually attractive

[DrPepper12]

Yes. Very intense and confusing but looking back it was a fun ride.

[RebelinSteel]

Nope never.

[jahaims]

No, I'm not trash
