I Am Tempted

I avoid men that I'm attracted to, not every handsome man is my type, so that's cool, but every now and then there is a hottie and I ask myself what does a happily married woman such as myself have to do with an attractive man? Nothing, he has temptation written all over him! Temptation to dream, temptation to produce pheromones, temptation to love romantically instead of brotherly.....Temptation to piss off his wife....All of which I really don't want....So I avoid men that I'm attracted to for my own peace of mind...The cute cheap thrill of flirting is not worth it to me, especially because I have movies inspired by my life for all to see, and so far the pattern has been romantic in the past, and it grieves me! I love my husband, not other men romantically......Sure I still love all people, husbands wives, men, women and children....I do, but I couldn't change my mind if I found a really hot man attractive, I couldn't just view him as a brother, it always seemed like one thing led to another, first it was attraction, then it was pheromones, then it was a wet dream.....BAH, NO, I refuse to even dream about it! So then I have to go back to the main attraction, there are men who I think are handsome but not attractive to me, I can love those men with brotherly love, it's the men who I am attracted to that either I need to learn to not look at them in that way, or move along. So far I just move along, because I can't seem to view them differently than attractive in a romantic or impure way. I don't want to commit adultery in my mind.

It's difficult to fight temptation. I agree with you, not all handsome men are attractive, there's more than what meets the eye. I believe, in general, men and women should avoid unnecessary interactions, it could lead to something regretful at the end. I respect your mentality. So stay strong and faithful to your beloved husband, there's nothing in this world worth destroying a happy marriage for.

If you're in happy, sexually satisfying marriage, why do you think you have to suppress yourself, else you might be tempted? Also, why would you be tempted to piss off someone else's wife?

@Northwest: It's the movies of my life......Imagine sitting at home with your wife watching a movie, and you recognize the actors are playing you, and some other woman you know and it's romantic, even though you had no idea she had feelings like that for you, and your wife thinks you are having an all out affair with this woman when you are not.
