When you are in a happy relationship do you still find yourself thinking about other people?
Be really honest now, search your feelings, even if you are in a happy relationship with a boyfriend/girlfriend you really like do you still find yourself entertaining the thought of being with someone else?
Even if you know you would never do it because you love the person your with, do you think about it? Will you admit to it on here?
Nope, I don't need reassurance, I'm completely comfortable with the fact that I look at and think about other men

Everyone on the planet has fantasies, about celebs, people they know or even someone they might see in the street and so it's completely normal.
We also think about other people, ex partners and other people in relationships as a gauge to where we are in ours, as a comparison to see if things are good, not so good or terrible, etc.
We also use others as a guide to where our partners sits in the pecking order of looks, money, intelligence, attractiveness and yes, this is a form of reassurance to ourselves.
There's a line between that happening and then you spending hours everyday thinking of other guys, that should be ringing alarm bells that your not happy with they person your with.

In my first relationship I used to think about other people, and I did have a little fling with somebody else, but I was only a young, and the person I was with, turned out not to be the one for me, and I later found out he had cheated on me several times. With the person I am with now, I never think about anybody else, because I love him so much and after six years of being together, hes all I want.
Is normal though, so dont worry about it!

Everyone gets the occasional urge, but the difference is that if you are truly satisfied with your relationship you don't think about it for more than a couple minutes. It depends what you mean by "Being" sex yes I have many times while in another relationship, but it's in passing. Actually being in another relationship no, bc this one is good!

If you are truly happy and content with someone i don't see why you would have the need to think about other people
If he is the right one for you then there's no looking back - no need to look sideways for anyone else and all you can see in the future is both of you together!!

I have been happily married for nearly 10 years and yes I do fantasise about being with other men, I know I wouldn't act on it, but as I say "window shopping is ok as long as you don't touch the merchandise"

yes, a passing "mm mm............he's hot!" is perfectly normal. turning that thought into meeting that person, flirting, fantasizing about them more than your partner or trying to make anything happen behind your partners back is absolutely not ok and means it's time to review the situation.

not thinking about other people but more like thinking about special incidents.
its not sick, its' human nature, we as a a person are hard wired in our jeans to be with as many people as possible.
so its' not a problem or anything.
just make sure you don't' " do anything" stupid

I am happy in my relationship, but it is natural to think about other people. Cheating on your partner happens waayyy more than people might like to think.
I always think about fuc*ing my ex, and no doubt my gf thinks about fu*king her ex too.
