Is it normal to feel attracted to others while in a relationship?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to notice or feel attracted to other people while you’re in a relationship. Attraction can happen without changing how you feel about your partner or what you choose to do about it.

Being in a relationship doesn’t switch off your ability to notice other appealing people. A passing crush or spark is common, and it doesn’t automatically mean you love your partner less or that anything is wrong with the relationship.

What matters more is how you handle it. People have different boundaries around flirting, private messages, or acting on a crush, so it’s worth staying honest with yourself about the agreements you and your partner have made. A feeling is not the same thing as a choice.
