Crushed

Strategy 5: Have A Reality Check

When we have a crush, it's easy to get carried away by the fantasy of something new, and to think in terms of the immediate gratification that a fun fling would bring into our lives. While it may seem appealing to consider an affair with another man, take a step back and consider how that may affect you and your marriage. Are you willing to potentially risk what you've built with your husband to pursue your crush?

And—always remind yourself of the bigger picture. Over time the novelty will wear off and your sexy crush is guaranteed to turn into a mere mortal with morning breath and mood swings. Not so sexy.
