My bf and I have been tg a few years, and w his career we’ve spent some long stretches of time apart. I can’t tell you I’ve experienced this with him, but I have with LDR’s when I was younger. This feeling is fleeting. If you have something solid, someone that’s part of that picture you paint for your life, you can let this go. Crushes are okay, everyone will find people attractive regardless of if they’re a partner or stranger, it’s human. But don’t mistake that for more than it is

Think of why your person is your person. You chose them for a reason, and if it’s meant to be, you will continue to choose them. Don’t make this out to be something you’re doing wrong, or you’ll inadvertently contribute to this and exacerbate the issue. Just accept yourself as a human being with natural instincts, but with the self control to identify the commitment you’ve made to your partner, and don’t indulge. It really is a lot easier than it sounds in these moments. Remember why it’s him
