Why might a newly married person develop an attraction to someone else who they have known for months?

[Anonymous]

Without context if you had to make an educated guess

Might have reluctantly married that person

Likely just realized the person is way better looking and has a good personality

Sick of the person they married and they realized the other person is the next most attractive person they know

They might have found the person attractive initially but they got to know the person or something changed with the person like they straightened out, starting be more confident, cool, and the person noticed

Likely just hid it very well, and maybe they want some validation now

It's all relative to the person and their age and upbringing along with their understanding of what a marriage entails.

Not everyone is blessed with having all the answers and we don't know the persons background, what kind of life did they have growing up? Was it a normal marriage, was it an open marriage, was it an on going marriage and divorce type of household?

To many variables to give a specific answer to this.

Because they're a piece of shit.

[choco-latte]

Because they never really loved the person that they married, or maybe just because they have very low commitment in relationships.

[Nikki1989]

Because they are human. You can be happily married and still be attracted to other people.

Most common guess? Emotional needs not fully met in the marriage, so the brain locks onto someone familiar and “safe.” Novelty, unresolved crush vibes, lack of excitement, or feeling unseen can all trigger that spark. It’s not always a red flag about the marriage, but it is a red flag if they start flirting, fantasizing, or hiding it.

She regrets settling for the guy she married, possibly because he either hid his flaws well early on or she was willfully blind. Now she sees his flaws.

Or...

She was always a player and she's used to getting dick she wants. Now she's bored with husband dick and wants new dick. Forever is a long time.

In today's society women are so fixated on the wedding that they forget about the marraige so that after ten years of planning & saving the wedding the marraige is really anticlimactic.

They like drama, stress, and misery in their lives. Sounds like most women that have male friends.

because the non-wife is pretty. it is nature. but mind must rule instincts.

They were not ready to be married. You hear stories all the time about brides who have sex with someone at the wedding and leave the new husband.

[MrChinaski]

Completely and utterly impossible to answer.

[jahaims]

They aren't emotionally healthy and have unhealthy coping mechanisms to

[Veronika_p]

They never married whom they loved

I'm not so sure many people are capable of true love these days, sadly.
That's why most people are capable of cheating if they come across someone they find way more attractive then their partner.
If I were in charge nobody would ever cheat
