I’m Attracted to My Friend’s Husband
Have you ever felt an unexpected attraction towards someone who should be off-limits, like a friend’s spouse? In today’s episode, we answer a listener’s dilemma about finding herself attracted to her best friend’s husband—all while she’s navigating a rocky marriage of her own.
Here’s her question:
I’m in a weird situation. My best friend got married last year and I was her maid of honor. At first I didn’t really care for her husband, partly because I didn’t know him super well. But the more I’ve gotten to know him, the more I realize I am actually quite attracted to him. Like some nights he’s all I think about. I am married and my marriage is rocky to say the least. I’m sure that has something to do with it. I feel like I need to limit my time around my friend’s husband and i don’t know how to do that without coming out and telling her I feel. Please do not use my name but I could really use some advice here.
In this episode, I’ll walk through steps on how to handle these sensitive situations without jeopardizing friendships and marriages. We’ll discuss:
- Understanding the nature of attraction, and why it’s not inherently wrong.
- How to identify what might be lacking in your own relationship.
- The importance of not idolizing or comparing and keeping things in perspective.
- Practical advice on how to limit interactions and keep temptations in check.
- The value of confiding in a trusted friend to disempower unhealthy fantasies.
