Iā€™m (25f) demisexual and happily married to my best friend (25m), we recently moved to italy and weā€™re starting our life here. Weā€™ve been working in a restaurant, and weā€™re making friends with our coworkers, which is nice, because we donā€™t know anyone in Italy, and weā€™re both very social so we need friends. But i started to feel attracted to one of our coworkers thats becoming our friend. It was nothing at first, but as we started to be closer, and talked about deep stuff and, well, developed the damn emotional connection, OF COURSE my demi-ass would start to feel things! I was so confused because i love my husband, but then i remembered reading about demisexuals not knowing how to deal with attraction once it shows (and the curse to always have a crush on friends). Well, i just dont know, im literally dreaming about him, when i see him at work my heart races, and its not that i want to have sex with him, i just wand to kiss (badly), and hug, get to know him better and tell him pretty things, which make me feel worse because its like a romantic thingā€¦ on top of that, me and my husband decided recently to have an open marriage (but nothing never happened yet), and it intensifies the feelings because it makes me feel like im not cheating if i feel this way, but he have a girlfriend whoā€™s also becoming our friend, soā€¦ anyway, probably someone whoā€™s not demi would just think ā€œdamn heā€™s hotā€, but iā€¦ i just feel like a teenager šŸ˜–

Its so weird because your girlfriend is always around when youā€™re with that person so youā€™re afraid theyā€™ll notice what youā€™re feeling, and it makes this all more intense. Yeah, itā€™s the same with me. I never thought Iā€™d be in this situation since I only felt attraction for three people in my life (one of them being my husband lol). How do allo people deal with it all the time????

But as I said, I work with him, I canā€™t have some time apart. And yes, I know he has feelings for someone else, he has a girlfriend whoā€™s also our friend. Guess I just have to live with it. The problem is that Im really intense and romantic, im worried someone will notice if I start acting weird. Not that id do something crazy, because im not impulsive (and not an asshole),i just cant hide my emotions well.

Whats bugging me isā€¦ is it normal?? Like, allo people feel this kind of attraction towards people they find pretty all the time? How do they deal with it? Thatā€™s why people cheat, or get jealous? Im with my husband for six years and since weā€™re together I never felt this way towards another person.
