Sometimes your heart goes places your mind knows it shouldn’t…You’re not alone in this. Many people go through it, quietly, painfully, with a lot of internal conflict. You’re doing better than you think just by being aware and not acting recklessly.

Infatuation isn’t a crime. Disrespecting boundaries, however, is.

OP, I bet you complain about your husband not doing this or that. Meanwhile, you are infatuated with another man.

They are shameless. My husband coached our kids when they were little. I was hot as fk, especially back then. When I showed up at games they scattered like cockroaches and then their husbands would try to flirt with me lol.

You remember when "that mom" showed up at your kids' games? The mom who wore tight, revealing clothes. The one who said inappropriate things in the loudest voice possible?

Yes, friends, she just posted. Even she realized she aged out of showing up at games being "hot as fk". Sadly, she did not see the problem back then.

Wow she really triggered all of you guilty frumps lusting over the married kids’ coaches. Yes- they get teased at home about their “fan club”. You are pretty obvious - such that it’s embarrassing for your husbands.

Sometimes, thinking about someone else is a symptom, not the root issue. What’s going on in the marriage that’s making your mind wander? Exploring that openly, even with a counselor, might help you figure out whether this relationship can heal or if it’s time to move on.

Why be married if you are thinking of another person?

Frequent compliments, especially about personality, or how I handle things. Offers emotional support that goes beyond what’s typical for a platonic relationship. Prolonged eye contact or a certain intensity in how he looks at me.

That's not romantic.thats inappropriate.
This guy you are crushing on flirts with other women, is open to cheating and does that all in front of his kid
So wonderful

Yeah, he’s a little messy, flirting, chaos, dad life….but I don’t know… maybe I like living on the wild side. Red flags? Babe, I see a carnival. 🎪 And let’s be real—if he flirts this good in public, imagine the private show. 😏

Yikes lol

I think you should divorce your spouse if this is happening to you. If you are lusting for another person who is not your partner, it's time to go. I would want my partner to let me know that they are thinking about someone else. That way, I know I am not the first person they are thinking about and can lead a life where someone will put me first.

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to all the thread contributors who guided me in the right direction. Your support, insights, and encouragement played a crucial role in helping me navigate challenges and stay on the right path. I truly appreciate your time, effort, and generosity in sharing your knowledge.

We have chatted a few times and are on many common emails and texts. She is a very sweet, down to Earth, devout Christian. I admire her.

A thought did cross my mind that I should join their church but now I am going to stay far far away and reduce my communications with this family.
