Have you ever had a crush while in a serious relationship / married?

Question

Poll answers relate to title question 
Is it a sign something is lacking in the relationship? Or is it totally natural and harmless when not acted upon?

Answer

Thought someone was attractive? Yes, but no, never a crush. I think people mix up feelings on when you can have just a connection with someone based off interests, or enjoying someone’s company. As opposed to wanting that relationship to be something more.

Answer

I constantly "crush" on people.. and I'm married.. they arent like "imma go fuck that person" kinda crush though... They are like "that person makes me feel good when they are around. " Kind of "crushes"  
I also find other people physically attractive other than my husband... But thinking someone's attractive doesn't mean much other than "that person is good looking" but thinking someone is attractive doesn't mean I sit around fantasizing about planning my future with them.. it just means in that I find them to be attractive, nothing more, nothing less. 
It's human nature. My husband isn't always the apple of my eye. In fact a lot of the times he's just annoying as fuck.. but I still wouldn't leave him just because I found another human being attractive.

Answer

I had a crush on my boxing coach. I think it starts harmless but you HAVE to protect your relationship by making sure you prevent any chance of it going further. 
Your conscious will tell you when it's approaching inappropriate-ness. (Yes, you can add -ness to any word 😉)
Be careful! It's not worth ruining your relationship. And no, I don't think it means something is lacking currently.

Answer

I had an intense crush last year after being married 5 years and dating 2 years. I had never expected to be hit sooo hard with that attraction and desire. It was a coworker and there was nothing ever going on between us but I know I was making excuses to talk to him. I would get chills when I’d hear his voice and he’d always bring me into conversations that I wasn’t a part of and it felt like we were starting to flirt or at least developing a friendship. He was married with four kids and I am married with one kid. He transferred to another location in our company not long after I started working here. I truly believe I would never act on this crush because my family means everything to me, more than any infatuation, and I’m sure he felt the same way about his family. But that attraction happens. And it was very intense and strong. I was surprised by it. And if my husband had that for another woman it would be so hurtful to me but now I can understand that the attraction is not really a choice. The actions are the choice and I would literally have left my job before compromising my family. I told my husband everything and he was very whatever about it. It made sense to him and he knew he was gone, and he trusted that neither of us had done anything inappropriate. So the answer for me is yes.

Answer

Of course. It’s not like as soon as you get in a relationship, you suddenly don’t have eyes or the ability to realize someone is attractive
