I've been in a committed relationship with my boyfriend for over 3 years now. I suppose to everyone else he's a dog- thats just what I've been told, but it was never the most important thing to me. He has the best personality and he's hilarious. My problem is, I've started fantasizing a lot, and I know its ok to do sometimes, that its normal and all, but I can't stop. I can't stop wishing he had a hot body like some of our friends. When those friends are around, I find myself flirting shamelessly because I'm just overcome with lust! He's said he's going to start working out and that he wants to get fit, be more attractive physically, but he's not very motivated. I want to stop fantasizing- it makes me feel so guilty! I'm starting to pull away from his affection because I can't help but notice his love handles or spare tire or whatever. My body is less than perfect, but its not that bad because I work out and take care of it. Is it wrong of me to feel this way? How do people deal with these feelings???

If you have been in a relationship with him for 3 years now you really should have gotten past this fantasizing point. But i don't see what harm it can do as long as you don't actual act upon your fantasy's[whatever they may be]..unless they include him. Hope I helped [ ChosenSummerGirl's advice column | Ask ChosenSummerGirl A Question ]
