Is it ok to admire someone else even when you are in a relationship ?

Admiring. What a beautiful words to discuss about feelings. It is not wrong to have a secret admiration as long as you know where do you stand and where is the limits. Admiration have a few variation. In your case, Are you admiring someone which is more attractive than your wife/partner? Wish she was your partner? Sometimes is dangerous to think that way. Kill your emotion or you will end up disaster to your current relationship. I usually compare. What if your partner is admiring another person? How would you feels? Is it Right or Wrong? You decide for the answer. Innocently admiring will somehow lead to flirting and more unexpected events happening. Just forget it. Concentrate your current relationship and stay Loyal...

yeah, i guess it's okay if it's pure admiration. but if there's flirting involved, ugh, a big no, no. you can't help admiring someone, that's for sure. it's not cheating. but doing something about it, like pursuing the person, now THAT'S cheating.

For me it is sooo normal ! we have to admit that there are a lot of people better than us or better than our partner. Admiration si appreciating beauty, but of course not to the extent beyond that. For me and my husband, it happened quite a lot. If ever, I saw someone who is nice looking or gorgeous, I would tell him. And if he found a girl/woman who is stunning and sexy he would tell me, or I would. You would be comfortable doing this if both of you are confident about your feelings towards each other. if you know that eventhough your partner looks at those gorgeous people, but still you are the one he/she love the most. No insecurities, TRUST each other, LOVE one another, and have confidence for each other, I guess both of you will be fine.

If my husband admired another women to the extent he noticed her body and kept it to himself as after all he is a man and cannot help himself I would never know.If he mentioned it to me I would kill him on the spot.Besides he has only got eyes for me I make sure of that.And if I said cor he's got a nice bum I would expect the same treatment from him.It would mean true love was dying and the end would be in sight and seeings neither of us want to stuck with a stroppy teenager on our own that is another good reason to stay faithfull.Our son means the world to both of us he is our reason to go on and one day he will leave home.He gave a lot of boyhood toys away and put the rest in the loft and that made us both cry,so the thought of have a dalyance is right out of the window.

Wow, if you can kill your emotions with admiration to some girls who you found beautiful then i suggest you make an article or review about it and share it to others he he he, it would definitely help a lot of guys, ask me why? because almost every girls do have a few insecurities within them. And this is the reason why we tend to get jealous when you guys are turning heads to some "cute" girls. Maybe the best thing that you could do is that dont bother telling this things to your partner anymore. keep it to yourself =).

Admiration for someone else other than the spouse keeps happening even if you were to push those ideas away. It is embedded in human nature. But the problem still remains that it is also human nature that makes you slowly get romantic about this other person if you constantly dwell on him/her, as the case may be. More than admitting to our spouse it is important to deal with out fascinations is how we keep a possible romantic and/or emotional at bay. For it doesn't take much time for admiration to turn into love. The best way to avoid this from happening is to avoid situations of meeting such people alone.

I think its ok to admire to someone else but make sure that it is just pure admiration and no more mixed or addional emotions with it. It is also best that you partner understands why you admire that person and even better if your partner can admire the same person as you.

I think it is quite normal to admire others even if you are in a relationship. Whether or not, I tell my partner or not would depend on they type of person he is. If he were given to jealousy, I'd probably just not say anything at all. As for if i could handle it if my partner made a comment...yes, I could and most especially if worded in the thoughtful way that you used as an example. As to your last question...I really don't think that innocent admiration of another will lead to infidelity unless the person is given to that sort of behavior anyway in which case, I don't think they could suppress all emotions. I have never cheated but there are many men that I've found very attractive. It all depends on the persons morals and values.

One should not lust but then again it is a human behaviour. If my ex-boyfriend (I am single now) see someone who he likes and say to me "Ker you know I like how the dress look on that girl". Before answering I will look in his eyes and see what his emotion is about. If his emotion is one that he would do with me then I know that it is not all about admiration but mostly lusting. There are two types of looks and persons need to know them. I would not like my other half to look at women the way he would look at me. So I will not look at any man the way I would look at him. Even with my smiling. I love to smile and I will smile a certain way with him that smile I reserve for him because it will be saying everything I feel for him. But to answer your question each person should always know what they are feeling before displaying it so that no one get hurt. I don't see anything wrong with admiration.

It really depends on the couple how strong their love and understanding with one another. I do have admirations and I tell my boyfriend just like your example and he dont mind as long as I know my limitations and his too. As what I told him, " Its okay to look to a person but not to the extend of talking or asking her number or any type of communication with a girl" I'm selfish and I wanted that I'm the only one. But my boyfriend and I knows our limitation regarding that matter. Beyond that limitation, arguement happens but I doesn't happen now a days.

Hello ronnyb! Actually, now that I am married, all the men that I saw are nothing to me or that I don't find them attractive anymore. I found my husband very handsome and even if we're not together, I don't look at other men intentionally. Maybe it's the reason why I got jealous easily because I don't find any reason why we have to admire someone. Well maybe it still depends. Happy mylotting!

well in my opinion, admiration is just okay, it will be not if that admiration is too much and will lead to something that you did not expect to happens to you and i myself is not a fraud that i wont get hurt if my bf will do that to me...

i think it is fine to admire someone. even in a relationship.if you are secure in the relationship with your significant other, then a little innocent admiration is healthy. you have to be able to trust one another in order for your relationship to survive. by all means , be honest, but also diplomatic and somewhat conservative until you are sure of the reaction you will get.

I think i will admire someone else to the extent my sweetheart feels okay, i will not go to the extent of admiring someone else to the extent my sweetie feels insecure, in order to keep a relationship evrything must be open i agree, but u need to care for the one who has come along you, for the whole life. The best policy is to know the tastes and preferences of ur spouse, to know what is good for him and what bad, to feel where the fine line of demarcation is. I think communication must be smooth and continuosly frequent to resolve the matters
