Have you heard of the YouTube channel called Awaken into Love? It gives great advice about this subject. Try to remember that love is not defined by things as unpredictable as feelings. Rather it is the choice we make to love that defines it.

Iāve been struggling with something thatās been really overwhelming, and Iām hoping to get some perspective from others here. I feel a lot of guilt about it, and Iām not sure if Iām alone in this experience. Lately, Iāve found myself daydreaming about romantic situations or getting caught up in āwhat ifā scenariosāwhere I wonder if I could develop feelings for someone else, or if someone develops feelings for me. The thing is, Iām in a relationship that I love, and I donāt want to act on these thoughts at all. What makes it even harder is that these thoughts often hyperfixate on one specific friend, and sometimes they feel entertaining or give me a dopamine rush. But then, of course, I feel even more guilty because it makes me feel like Iām betraying my boyfriend. These thoughts usually happen when Iām upset and looking for comfort, but then they morph into romantic scenarios, which makes me feel so disloyal. Iām constantly going back and forth between feeling curious or entertained by the thoughts and then feeling horrible for even allowing them to happen in the first place. I keep confessing these thoughts to my boyfriend, and he tries to be understanding. Heās just never been the type to daydream, so he doesnāt know if this is something other people experience or if itās just me. I feel like such an awful girlfriend. Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
