Topics Crushes & attraction

Is it normal to be attracted to a married man?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. You can feel attracted to someone who’s married without choosing to; what matters is respecting the relationship and the boundaries around it.

Attraction doesn’t check someone’s relationship status before showing up. A crush on a married man can happen, and it doesn’t make you a bad person or mean you want to cause trouble.

Feelings and actions are different, though. If he’s committed, it’s wise to keep clear boundaries and avoid feeding the crush in ways that could hurt people—including you. You don’t have to act on every feeling you have.
