Has anyone ever dealt with simply looking at someone’s social media page because you found them attractive and then feeling immense guilt that you have been unfaithful for doing that? I did once or twice checking out someone I found attractive with no intent other then just being nosey and looking for a few quick minutes and then was it. Which then made me feel like I’m a horrible unfaithful spouse. It’s been going on for almost a month and I am not sure how to get back to feeling normal :(

Yes, this is normal. I have a coworker who regularly “stalks” people online as they call it to get more info on them and their lives. They also mention if they’re cute and whether their partner is cute, if they have one. They are married, and this doesn’t seem to bother her. I will say that this is pretty common to check someone’s social media.

@TT2022 My sister said that’s what Facebook is for. Lol, I also went and looked at his wife’s page too. I hate how ocd makes me feel like I did something so wrong I wish the thought would just stop
