I(30F) have been with my partner(30M) for 9 years and am starting to look at others

r/

So I have been with my partner for about 9 years. We have had a very trusting and loving relationship. We have built an entire life together. I can’t imagine not being with him. Together we have grown into better people. We have fun, we go on adventures, we enjoy our time together. Just like every other couple we have had our share of ups and downs but for the most part things between us have been good.

I have always had a very innocent wandering eye. So has he and we are both very honest about it. We aren’t the jealous type. And I think that’s because of how much we trust each other.

However, this past year I find myself looking and thinking about other people more than I usually would, and it has me a little worried. Has anyone else gone through this? How have you dealt with it? I don’t want to throw away everything we have built. I just want advice on how to deal with these new thoughts so they don’t compromise my relationship.

TL;DR
After being in a relationship for 9 years I’m starting to have thoughts about other people, how do I deal with this so it doesn’t harm my relationship

    Are you happy with your partner? Are you married? Do you want to be married ? Are they fulfilling all of your needs?

    The goal should always be improve your relationship… or end it if it’s not fulfilling
