Yes, it's normal to be attracted to other people. We're all visual creatures, and there's nothing wrong with finding beauty in other people. It's ACTING on those thoughts while still in a relationship, that's wrong.
And to give you a different point of view - I was quite attracted to my ex-boyfriend, until problems started to surface, really bad ones. After time I couldn't even stand the sight of him. I was so NOT attracted to him, physically nor mentally, but I still loved him.
You didn't just say that you find other men attractive, you said you're not attracted to your man anymore. Maybe it's an issue thing. Or maybe you've just settled into that comfort zone and feel a little bored. Hey, that happens and it's OK. Take all things into consideration.

Yeah corse it is lovely!! Iv was with my man on & off for two years, i never looked at anyone for the first year.. Now we're still on & off but his not the only guy i text & think about!!
It's 100% normal we all go through it, ur just not wrapped up in the newness of it anymore it's same old stuff. Don't worry urself about it, we all get attracted to other people at some stage in the relationship!xxxx

OH YEAH!! I went through the same exact thing. It's just you go out for so long that you kind of see him differently now and you've gotten so used to him. You want something different. That's just how I felt around one year. I still loved him too but I guess in a different kind of way. But ya it's definitely possible!! And remember, for a relationship to be at it's BEST you gotta have that little fire and physical attraction and lust in there ;) good luck girly!!

That could happen to anyone. You've been around the same guy for about a year & you're starting to see more men around you knowing that there could be someone else, but your love is telling you otherwise. Just go with what your heart tells you & fate will work things out. It will make what's meant to be happen.

Yes it's normal but i wouldn't just look at a guy for his looks all the time.If he treats you right then thats the one you need to hold on to. but if not leave him alone.Most attractive guys are the bad ones.They're the ones that'll be so nice at first then when they get tired of you they go to somebody else.You may look at other guys and be with other guys.but if you really love this one like yu say you do.You only have eyes for him and nobody else.It's not going to be the same with everybody else than with your boyfrind.It'll feel wrong and trust me.I've been through it all.But its your choice if you want to break up with him or not
Source(s): But i think if you love someone.Nobody else should come between you both.How do you know he's not asking the same ? in his mind about you?Think about that.If you love him don't worry about the looks. - Iggy RockoLv 71 decade ago
It's normal for the excitement and giddiness of a new relationship to wear off, but if you no longer find your boyfriend attractive, you should let him go.

That must be normal.
I hate to say it, but I've had several women be my girlfriend for a half year, a year-or-so, and then break it off.
I'm seriously beginning to wonder if we humans are meant to mate for life; or just meant to mate until we get used to things, bored, and want to move on to a fresh new, interesting person.

This is perfectly normal. Once you find Mr. Right, then when the lust wears off, you will still be content with him, i.e. his personality and brain. This guy obviously is not "the one" or you would not be having doubts about him.

Its completely normal. I mean if your with someone every day their beauty is going to stop being so shocking after a while you know?
