My husband and I had this conversation in depth several times, and we’ve both agreed that it’s not because we don’t value each other’s attention. It’s more about the fact that we love each other unconditionally, so it’s a little more impactful to get attention from a stranger who has zero connection to you.

it’s human to like getting positive attention. that doesn’t mean you are actively seeking that attention out or going to act on anything, it just means your human and the validation of other humans feels nice because we’re social creatures. it’s nice to feel wanted, seen, and appreciated and then just be able to go on about your day.

I know you love the bf but do you ever feel that he’s not giving you enough attention? That’s why you crave it from others?
