Liking someone while you're committed to someone else.

How would you handle the situation?
Just ignore the feelings?
Or tell your significant other?


I'm not asking because I feel this way though, so inb4 everyone tries to give me advice or something. I'm just wondering what YOU would do in the situation

Liking someone while you're committed to someone else:
How would you handle the situation?
I would try to stay away from that person as much as possible. However If I liked the other person way more than my Girlfriend, I would have to go with my heart - and just tell my girlfriend.
Just ignore the feelings?
I would ignore the feelings unless the feelings I felt for the other girl were stronger than the feelings I have for my girlfriend.
Or tell your significant other?
I'm an honest man, always have been, always will be - and If I felt it necessary to tell my girlfriend - I would without any problems.

I agree with Chris, go with whoever you like more. I would take into consideration who I have more in common with, who I enjoy spending time more, etc. I would also not rush this decision, because you don't want to regret your choice.
Although I do have to say that sometimes if you begin to like someone else, then that may be a sign that things aren't right with your current significant other as they aren't enough for you to stop seeing other people in that way as well. I'm not saying this is always the case though.

Exactly what he said. If it's to a point where I'm thinking of that person more than my significant other, we have a problem. But I'm not the type of person to just ignore the feelings if they're that strong. I mean, I would wait a little while first, to see if the feelings go down a bit.. Because sometimes when you meet someone new and interesting, there are all of these feelings and you don't know what to do, but after a while, it may just fade as you learn more about the person. if that makes sense. If after a few weeks or a month or whatever I still have feelings for the other person, I would definitely discuss it with the person I'm with.

When I was put in this situation a few years ago (I was dating my ex, the "other man" is now my current boyfriend) I acted on my feelings. Looking back, I'm glad I did, honestly. I'm with a much greater man than I was with before (though, it took me a few years to figure that out). Should have I acted on my feelings? No. My current boyfriend was seeing someone else at the time as well, and I never intended to hurt anyone's feelings. His ex knows, while my ex has somewhat of a clue of what had been going on but I never told him myself. Over all, I have no regrets though I do admit that I should have handled it better.
