I have been in a relationship for over 5 years, we live together and are happy together. We had a rocky road in the past due to long distance but worked through it. I recently got a new job and there is a guy there that i get along with very well. We hung out recently, just as friends, but constantly flirt at work and definitely did when we hung out. Things are staying innocent with him, and I don’t lie to my boyfriend about when im hanging out with him, but i am at the point where I get butterflies thinking about seeing him. I could be wrong but I feel like he might have feelings for me too. The last thing i want to do is ruin my current relationship. Should I just ignore these feelings since it hasn’t gone further than flirting? Any advice?

You’re going to find attractive men around you for your entire life — whether you’re living with someone, married or single. Flirting and feeling excited by flirting is normal. What you really want to figure out is if the boyfriend you’ve been with for five years, is Mr. Right or not. Since you’re both 26 and old enough to consider marriage and children, you’ve taken yourself off the market by living with your boyfriend. If this guy you’re interested in flirting with is someone you’re interested in dating, then you need to reevaluate your live in relationship. If it’s just an innocent flirtation at work, then you can stop worrying. But you have to answer the question about your long term relationship first.

Let me know if that helps and how things go.
