When the issue of a partner's eyes wandering is confronted, there appear to be two typical responses: either the conduct is dismissed as unimportant, or sentiments of pain and contempt emerge, potentially harming the relationship. Some individuals even feel that looking into persons other than a committed partner is a solid evidence of adultery. This article explores these issues and more. There are several factors to consider when evaluating whether your partner is interested in someone else. If you believe they're seeing someone else, talk with them about it. Give them the opportunity to explain themselves. Don't assume they know what they're doing or that they could change if they wanted to. Only they can decide that. It's normal for our minds to wonder where our partners' attention lies at any given moment. It helps keep the relationship exciting and interesting if one partner shows an interest in others while still feeling attracted to their spouse. This doesn't mean that they're cheating on their spouse- only that their mind is elsewhere right now. As long as there's no intent to cheat, then you should just let it go. If you suspect your partner of being interested in someone else, ask them directly why they look elsewhere sometimes. You might be surprised by their response! From there, you can work together to come up with a plan for avoiding this behavior.
