Relationship Advice: 5 Reasons Why We Fall In Love With Others While In A Relationship
True or False: If you fall in love with someone while you are already in a relationship, does that mean you don’t love that person? HERE ARE 5 Reasons Why We Fall in Love with Others While in a Relationship.
For many people, the answer is yes. Many people think that you never love your man if you fall in love with someone else. But I don’t think so. While you may feel pain and guilt for falling in love with someone else, there are reasons for that. It’s not that your man isn’t good enough or doesn’t love you enough. It’s just that you may not realize what other qualities or things are important to you.
Here are 5 reasons why we sometimes fall in love with other people, even if we are already in a good relationship:
1. Different ideas about love
Maybe your needs are completely different from what your partner gives you. You value quality time together, but you’re not getting it. It’s not necessarily his fault—maybe he just doesn’t have the time, or maybe you haven’t told him what you need.
The thing is, when you know he loves you and you fall in love with someone else, it means that you need a little fuel at that moment and that OTHER person can give it to you.
2. There are no common topics for conversation
Maybe it’s because you can’t be serious enough to talk about it or because one of you doesn’t respect the other’s opinion. But deep, intellectual conversations bring couples closer together. Relationships can’t survive without them. You need to be able to talk about a wide range of topics.
You should have different interests, but not so much that you have nothing to talk about that you do not understand each other at all, especially if you are stubborn. Opposites may attract, but common interests are important for any relationship.
4. Your life goals are not aligned
When you realize that you fell in love with someone partly because of his beliefs, then that’s the point. Your goals in life are different from your man’s goals and aspirations. You see life differently than he does, and vice versa.
5. You and your partner are at different stages in life
The timing may indeed be wrong. You may indeed be at different stages in your life in terms of career, spirituality, age, and other considerations.
It may still depend on how well each of you knows yourself. One has figured himself out and is ready to move on, while the other is still trying to figure out what he wants from life.
