Is it right to get attracted to a member of the opposite sex even though you are in a relationship that is going well? And when this happens...is it wrong to feel tempted?

christyyyf agony auntYou have nothing to be ashamed of! Its natural to have feelings. The only time I think you should feel ashamed is if you've done something with this man.. but since you say you haven't there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!

christyyyf agony auntI'm in the exact same boat and right now I am not acting upon it! I don't think it's wrong to be feeling the way you are. But again not acting upon it is the right thing to do.

An important question to ask yourself would be " Am I happy with my boyfriend?" "Do I still want to be with him?" Maybe then you can decipher what you want to do with this man you speak of!

It's not your fault who you feel attracted to. What you have to think about is whether your current relationship is worth losing for someone else. Be careful, i once cheated on my boyfriend, and it's the worst thing i've ever done.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (30 November 2010):

It is normal to be attracted to someone else when you are in a relationship. But you have to be smart not to act on it. If you find yourself getting attached to someone else and not your partner, being in a relationship in the first place isn't a good idea.
