Search Results: attraction in a relationship

Is attraction to others supposed to stop when you commit to each other in a relationship? I'm not talking about actually pursuing a sexual relationship with someone else; I am strictly talking about feeling the stirrings of a physical attraction. Do you think your partner has done something wrong if they feel attracted to someone else?

My uncle is far left and has very immaturely isolated himself from most of his family JUST over politics. He will insult family and former friends without provocation if they voted for Trump or are open about their conservative views. He’s still holding on to this grudge despite Trump being out of office for 1.5 years now.

I also have an ex girlfriend who used to be a moderate liberal who moved to LA and became radically liberal. Despite ending our relationship on sad but understandable circumstances (attraction was fading on both sides) we did have a very close personal connection. But she saw me as scum of the earth for no valid reason other then being a moderate conservative. She didn’t start that way when we first dated.

I had a relationship with this girl years ago when I was a teenager. I liked this girl a lot but I never got chance to tell her how I felt about her before it was too late. She said she wanted to end our relationship and that we could be friends, she never gave me a reason why even though I asked. I think she mistook my affection for ‘needyness’ which must’ve killed her attraction for me or maybe it was because I was shit at sex as I was only young at the time and inexperienced, however this is only speculation as she never actually told me this. As I said many years have passed since I last spoke to her, I deleted her off all socials apart from Instagram because I simply didn’t want to see her name and what she was doing etc so do you think enough time has passed that I could message her again and maybe start a relationship again as it’s almost been 5 years. The only thing that’s stoping me is that I’m not as confident as I was 5 years ago and I don’t want that to kill my chances with her. However I’m more mature and humble now and I can still tap into that confidence it just depends on the situation, basically I’m not confident 24 7 like I was back then. Should I add her Snapchat again or find her number and message her? Im keeping my expectations low of course.
