Do married men have crushes?

[Anonymous]

Yup. Friends/colleagues of wife and the occasional work crush. Nothing that I’d ever act on or mention. Just eye candy from a distance.

Mine too. I'd eat her turds if she asked me to.

DH has a thing for a few news personalities and a couple of moms at kids school.

Same here (I’m a husband, married 24 years, never cheated)

Why past tense?

Did it go past just a crush but not yet an affair? In between?

What made you act on it if you don’t mind me asking? Why those two?

Why them? Same reason as why you have crushes when single, you find someone attractive and chemistry is there. I probably acted on it because my marriage lacks any sort of passion and I had an opportunity to get away with it. I wanted to feel that passion one more time before I die?

She doesn’t feel the same.

How can she? You’re married and unavailable.

I’m unavailable, availability has no bearing on this type of thing (for me anyway).
But if I’m completely honest I’ve spent the day watching Hallmark Christmas romance movies.

No and never will. I’m not a creep and I actually love and respect my wife. Also, I’d be crazy to think that the opportunity even existed as many of them are also either married or in relationships. Just nice to look at and occasionally fantasize about.

Confused. Why does her not feeling that way affect your crush, if unavailability doesn’t matter…? Not following.

If I talk about it in a past tense it might go away faster, maybe.
