Okay, my bf is perfect. My family isn't really there for me emotionally and he has been there for me through thick and thin-he is my best friend and I love him. Here's the problem: Lately I've been thinking a lot about what it would be like to be single-to be able to go out with other guys, date around, go to parties and hook up, etc. This really worries me. I would NEVER cheat on him, it's just me thinking about what it would be like. I wonder if this is normal or if this is a sign that something is wrong with this relationship.
I've been with him for over 2 years, we see each other everyday, we plan to get married in a few years so we are very close. Part of me thinks that if I were really in love with him 100% that I wouldn't have thoughts of this kind. But then another part of me thinks that I'm in college and it's normal to want being single sometimes. I don't know, I'm rambling. I guess I just want opinions and thoughts on this. Am I a horrible girlfriend or is this normal?
i think it's totally normal to think about things like this from time to time. i know i definitely do! sometimes i think how awesome it would be to experience butterflies and first everythings again with someone new. thinking isn't doing...
It's normal. I've been married for two years and we've been together for four and I've had similar feelings. I love him madly and I'd never do anything stupid and I know deep down that I don't even want anyone else, but I'm with Erin.....sometimes I just think it would be nice to feel the spark of a new relationship again.
ditto, im with erin and tri sarah tops, its normal to think about those things. i've been married for 10 years and some of those thoughts go thru my mind also. and i too love my husband madly! your okay, your just normal!
I just have to agree with the other girls to reassure you that your feelings are normal. I sometimes have these thoughts and I have been with my BF for over six years and know there will never be anyone better. I think the key is knowing that while dating around might be exciting, you are happier to be in your relationship. If you don't feel that way, or if you actually did act on these feelings, then you might be in trouble.
Like the others said you are totally normal. I was having these same kind of feelings the last couple of days for some reason. I am really happy with my boyfriend and he treats me perfectly, I just have been thinking about it and it makes me feel bad too!
