Am I a Bad Wife for Thinking About Other Men When He’s Away? Vote Here!

1. Imagining things

Some people call this emotional cheating, while others say it’s pure curiosity. I know a psychologist who said that it’s normal to think about other people and be attracted to other people even if you’re in a relationship with someone you love. It’s just human nature, and it depends on the way you act toward those impulses, so everything is in your hands.

When thinking about other men, you might notice that you stop for a few seconds and imagine how your life would’ve been if you were with someone else.

I sometimes do that for a few moments, and I think about whether I would’ve had a different career or maybe I would’ve lived in a different place if I were with someone else. But then I remember how happy I am with my husband and all those thoughts disappear.

But I don’t think that’s cheating, and I’m more inclined to say that it’s curiosity, but I want to know what your thoughts are on this one, so leave a comment down below and let me know!
