Yes I believe it is normal to be attracted to somebody else whilst in a relationship. It can either be a physical attraction due to good looks or a physiological attraction due to pheromones that are secreted from our bodies. Pheromones are an invisible scent that can cause an unexplained attraction to another person. Just stay commited to your partner and all will be ok! Hope this answer helps.

If by normal you mean natural, then it is normal. Now if one were drinking, then it would be the booze making it attractive.

Its common to be attracted to others while in a relationship; it would be unrealistic to not be, unless of course you're dating someone like Tom Cruise / Jessica Simpson, etc.. The only way it could be wrong is if you actively persue the person you find attractive.
-
It's extremely common--and human. Just remind yourself that it's not a committed relationship if you don't commit to it.
-
Of course! Both you and your partner will be attracted to other people. The trick to staying committed is to not act on the attraction.

Yes.....but what's not normal is to ask her to take her shoe off..... so that you can smell it.
-
yes, but to a point, you know?
-
yes it is. I am...it sucks sometimes but we're only human!
-
uh......i dont know... maybe i'm not normal.. but since i've been committed, i haven't been attracted to anybody BUT him ... :-
-
Normal and committed in the same sentence, that's funny, LOL.... Okay, anyway, humans are attracted to many things, the attraction its self is not the problem - it's acting on the attraction that is the problem. After being committed to one person for a long time it's natural for the attraction to diminish somewhat - so something new could spark an interest - try to refresh why you were originally attracted to your mate in the first place.

Yes. You're always going to be attracted to someone else. It's just human nature

I was once attracted to someone else while in a relationship. I was curious about why I felt that way so I asked a friend and basically they said that it was perfectly normal. But, if the outside person knows that you are attracted, it can prove to be a risky situation- esp. if they aren't attached. They can be mischievous and send out subtle hints- I'd be thinking of the reasons that I committed to the person that I am presently with if I were you.

It's about as normal as having a pulse. Human beings are driven by stimulation and this motivates us to keep progressing, evolving and maturing. We face temptation in all forms all the time, however it's what we do with the temptation when we face it that counts.

It's not only "normal" but i would worry about anyone who suddenly becomes "blinded by love". Humans love variety and attraction does not stop for love... or a speeding train. One can be deeply devoted, and for YEARS and still experience attraction to others. Only the immature and idealistic, those young without experience will try to tell you that to be attracted to others means you are not in love. Bull. It means you are alive. But being committed also means you have made a decision not to act on those attractions. If you find you are moving in that direction, the issue changes. Fidelity is not compromised by a thought, but i wouldn't dwell on it. If it becomes a real question of breaking whatever promise you have made, then it's time to let your partner know... BEFORE you act. Give him or her a chance to fight for you. But if it is mere passing appreciation, if you are not encouraging it in the way you behave, and your life isn't disrupted by it, admire away. Yes... you're "normal"
-
of course,even whem your married,you just dont act on it,do you hear that ex-husband?
-
Yes.
-
yeah then your wouldn't be a human
-
Yes, I think it is. That's the point of a commitment and/or marriage. If you got in a relationship with someone and you suddenly didn't have any attraction to any other person, then you wouldn't need to make a commitment or get married. You would just get into a relationship and no commitment would be necessary. I think that's the point of a commitment or marriage. Stating that no matter what else comes your way and no matter how appealing it may seem that you won't go astray. +4

of course and if you can make some money out of it then bonus
