How would you feel if you are in a relationship with someone but that someone got a crush with your friend?

Life is really complicated at times. Even though how much we try to be faithful to our partners, there will always come a time wherein you will get attracted to another person. The only thing that you must remember is to set your boundaries. When things like these do happen, always remember that there is somebody who might get hurt if you can not control how you feel for the other person.

Yeah I agree with you, things come up and we can only be alert and aware how we feel and what to come. So caution is necessary.

It's just normal to admire someone even if you are already in a relationship. However, we need to know our limitations. Your situation is more serious because she has a crush on your friend. I hope your gf will behave well and just act naturally when your friend is around. I hope she won't flirt with him either. Happy myLotting!

That's fine. I guess the system will correct/delete it if not necessary. Thanks again.

Oh, that's awkward. It's just normal to have a crush on someone. She or he just needs to know her or his limitation. Having a crush is different with flirting. Crush is just admiring someone. I hope you're confident enough. I hope your partner will behave naturally when she sees your friend. Happy myLotting!

Yeah, really awkward because crush may be developed to a deeper admiration and feelings. Well, I am hanging on. Thanks for your thoughts.

i would feel really bad. i wouldnt be comfortable to see my bf talking with my friend. if he told me he has a crush on her everytime i saw them talking i would think they are like flirting. i think that crushes are innocent while we are teenagers like 16 years but after 19,20 crushes can turn into other things. i wouldnt feel happy with it. i guess i would talk with him and let him know that im insecure about his feelings for me. and im sure if he loves me he will dedicate more time for us and the crush on my friend will disappear. you should talk with your gf and tell him how you feel^^ a good comunication is very important to make a relation work^^

it is okey for me i will understand her because thats only a crush its normal were just human being to feel like that. love and crush are different right? i am an open minded person thats why i know what is right and wrong. try to understand and respect the felling of someone you love because for me love is full of understanding.

admiring someone is normal but once someone takes a step to pursue the admiration further then that's a totally different story, moreso if this is with a friend whom you trust. being in a relationship is committing to be faithful and loyal to that relationship. betraying the trust is destroying the relationship.

My wife do still have lots of crushes and shes not afraid to tell it to me. Its because we knew that were already take it lightly and will not affect our relationships. Two of my kids though are telling my wife that they are beginning to show crushes on their classmates. That will be different for us. Though its part of our lives as adolescents to have crushes, it fells strange for a parent to know that your kids had one.

First of all let us define something. Crush is just the feeling of admiration and this is not absolutely equivalent to love and never it was. Usually you are just having crush or admiration to someone when you find that person physically attractive which is totally normal. This is different for falling in love with a person which indeed even if that person is not physically attractive, you fall in love because you already develop your feelings for some reason like you were able to appreciate the personality of that person which you want to love him/her to the extent you want to be with that person for the rest of your life and again you are absolutely decided about it. Now in answering your post itself. It happened to me already that I have a crush to my boyfriend's friend. Though during that time when I am admiring his friend he wasn't my boyfriend yet. They are actually clueless who I am admiring and I am afraid of revealing this to a guy. But due to a fact that we are not seeing each other always, instead I am always seeing his friend which is my boyfriend right now that we became close and that is the time already that I confessed that I had crushed on his friend. You have to analyzed first if where is the limit of that person's admiration. What if that person he/she admires doesn't have any interest with his/her admirer? Since I have mentioned the difference of crush and love, it is normal to admire other person as long as that lover is not dating with him/her. In my case I am telling my boyfriend if I am crushing someone else. Though in current situation the funny part thing is that I am crushing with a handsome and hot but unfortunately he is g@y.

Having a crush on someone is normal. it just means you admire that person for his qulities. it is admiring without eanting to be intimate. if your partner has a crush on your friend, i think it is okay. as long as he knows his limitations.

hi, for me, it think is is still normal if a committed person have crush to other person,it because it is only a crush and not a love,and even to have crush in a friend is not that bad,but you need to control your feeling or limit it to crush level only.

might feel betrayed because you share some things with a friend while he has a crush on your girlfriend. betrayed because you trust him and he wants it for himself. Friend love comes and goes so sometimes it is normal you ask or not. If someone is with you if you just do not understand how it works and then it will be a girl or you or some other ancestors but whether it is you or not because you do not know how she feels? Success friend write again to see the evolution of the difference!

Yes, i guess it is just normal to have crush even you are in a relationship because having a crush does not mean, she/ he want to have a relationship with another... Crush is as simple as admiration maybe of the beauty, talent, attitude and more others. It's ok to admire anyone even you are in relationship but make sure that there will be no problem that could lead into falling in love with another one.

It is okay to have crushes but we should have to set limitations and boundaries. I have also a crush with someone but I just keep quiet about it and just forget about it.My bf tells to me about his crushes and sometimes I really get jealous when he talks to them.I also tell what I feel to him when I saw him talking to them but he always assures me that he is not doing anything wrong.He is just talking to them because they are my friend.

That's risky. It would be fine if your friend won't take advantage of her crush on him. Just be careful.

It is normal to admire someone when you are in a relationship. But you have to keep your boyfriend/girlfriend closer because it might get away.
