Is it normal to fantasize about other people in a long-term relationship?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes. Fantasizing about other people is common in long-term relationships and doesn’t automatically mean you love your partner less or want to leave.
Yes—your imagination doesn’t switch off just because you’re committed. People in happy, long-term relationships can still find others attractive or have fantasies, and a fantasy by itself isn’t a plan or a betrayal.
What matters more is how you feel about it and what agreements you and your partner have. Some couples are relaxed about private fantasies; others have different boundaries around sharing them or acting on them. If the fantasies are upsetting you or seem tied to something missing in the relationship, you can use that as a cue to reflect or talk—not as proof that anything is wrong.
