Redditors in committed relationships, how often do you get crushes on other people?

1. I've been with my husband a little over 5 years and I've gotten about three? They always freak me out, but I just try to remember that they only mean that we could all end up with multiple people. Like, there are a lot of people in this world we're compatible with -- we could happily marry any one of them. To me, that does't mean my husband isn't "the one." He is "the one," not just because he's one of the people I'm compatible with, but also because he's the only one that I chose to build a life with. It's like, compatibility + history & love.

2. Periodically. They're harmless as long as no one acts on them. Humans are sexual creatures - we're always going to have this thing in our deep lizard brain telling us to look for good fuck candidates to propagate the species. The higher brain keeps us civil.

3. Copied/pasted from my prior response to this question in r/askmen. It seemed to go over fairly well so I'll put it in the broader category's ask. > It's difficult to be around other human beings and not develop some type of feelings. I've been with my SO for over 20 years now. I've never strayed and have never had the desire to actually do so. > But that doesn't mean you stop meeting people. You meet an attractive person who you would have considered pursuing if you were single and that spark doesn't just go away. You just learn to tuck it away and say "that's just not the path I chose to take." I care about my partner and the bond we have far more than I care about a potentially brief fun fling with anyone else. It feels...wrong. > I can't imagine actually cheating on someone. It honestly staggers me how common it is. People who cheat...I'm not going to say they disgust me, but I just don't understand. If you're unhappy in a relationship, break it off. Don't make life worse for three+ people, with yourself being one of them.

7. It took me over 20 years to find someone I find tolerable so let's say every 20 years.

8. I don't. Developing a crush requires interaction for me, and I'm awkward around pretty girls. Makes me wonder how I got my SO.

9. As hard as it may be to believe, especially coming from a man. Never.
