Totally normal. I actually think it's way more healthy to acknowledge it mentally than to push it away. Like, not to be like, "oh I wonderrrr what would happen if we ended up together..." but more doing exactly what you're doing, "Ah. I have a crush on this person. That's weird, but it's a good thing my partner is such a good fit for me!"
I've found when that happens to me, it's almost always due to some trait that actually reminds me of my partner.
@TheJerilu Every. Single. Time that I see something you posted, I watch your signature gif about a thousand times and I love it more and more each time!
Along the lines of the donut confession... (I'm scared)... I'm also not a big donut fan. I also hate hot dogs. I also hate apple pie. And I can't stand bacon ***ducks for cover***
But I love baseball! Can I still be an American??

Married in May 16, 2015
TTC #1 (on and off) since September 2015 DS1 Due 6.7.2021
My FFFC is that some times I will order MCDonald's breakfast and shamefully eat it in my car before work. I probably do this twice a year. I am the one in my office that always has the "healthy breakfast" - fruit, granola, yogurt etc. I am the person that turns down donuts when it's offered. My office sometimes will order breakfast for us and I always turn that down because it's not healthy - it's usually a continental breakfast type deal.
But on Tuesday I had a sausage mc griddle, two hash browns, a yogurt parfait and a medium vanilla iced coffee from McDonald's, ate it sitting in my car in my office parking lot, listening to My dad wrote a porno and enjoyed every bite of it.
@mrsstuessy Totally normal, and I think healthy. You're not acting on it; fantasizing or having a little crush hurts nothing and keeps a spark in your relationship. I have a crush on a coworker who I never in a million years would do anything with, but he's cute with a slow southern drawl and smells like the woods on a rainy day ...
@EmeraldNC Your post confused me because I thought you were implying I had said I masturbate with my dogs in the room and I was like "I didn't even mention my dogs..." but now I think you're asking if anyone masturbates with dogs in the room. I don't because they're so curious about everything I do I'd be terrified they'd come up sniffing and I just can't even imagine anything beyond that. Every time they sniff my crotch (when not masturbating, like when I get home from work) I scream and push them away because it grosses me out; they're my furry children! I know of some people who have sex with dogs in the room. I guess it depends on the dog? My friend's dog licks her husband's toes during sex. I just can't even with that.

@EmeraldNC I did once when my dog was a puppy. He barked at me & seemed very concerned for my safety. Since then, he sits outside the bedroom door waiting patiently.
I was sitting here trying to think of my FFFC and I think ya'll led me to it: DH and I will have sex with our dog in the room. Not that its ever planned or anything, but if shes in the room we just proceed as normal. I imagine this is only because she leaves us alone and no weird toe-licking of any kind. Hell, most of the time she just turns away and falls asleep. Hopefully that isn't her way of trying to tell us something about our technique...
I've got one that literally just happened and has a bit of a setup. Using Megabus for my trip home, which is usually great for the money. Looks like their usual bus broke down, so they had to use a rented charter instead.
Somebody dropped their empty water bottle on the floor, so picked it up and tossed it in the trash bag, which promptly garbage stickied my hand. No big deal, I'll go to the restroom and wash up with the antibacterial goop.
This rented charter bus has no soap, water, or antibacterial lotion. Just a bus toilet and toilet paper.
And that, ladies, is how I came to the decision to literally spit wash my hands and dry them with TP.

@Maggie1202 I will find this acceptable, but only if you give me your share of apple pie. And bacon.
I have two today. My boss left the office an hour ago and I've had zero motivation to do anything productive. Unless bumping counts as being productive.
#2... I am slightly mad at @BusinessWife for changing her avatar. It's like I don't even know you anymore!! Also...

I was asking, ha... But edited it because I got embarrassed.
I have another FFFC and it's really me being a bitch I'm sure... I was annoyed with the intro post today. I've been apart of TB for years, and still proceed with caution.. Try to read the group rules, lurk when I don't understand something, etc... I'm just like, come on!!! Take a second, come in, look around!!!
@thj101 (and whomever may wonder) I've never had it before but I basically noticed these 4 circles under my left boob, right under my underwire. At first I thought they were bra marks like I had a chip stuck in there and it made a mark lol. I noticed a few days later that they were in pairs that were symmetrical and right over each other. I've determined that my boob gravity made the top spot rest on the bottom spot when not up and perky. They just looked like grey circles and only itched a bit (totally bearable). I actually sent my SIL a picture with no nipple included and asked her what it is since she just got her BSN last year lol. She said it looked like ring worm which apparently isn't a real worm, and suggested Lotrimin AF. I got the kind for jock itch because that's all they had and it worked. Now I wash my bras pretty much every day unless I only wear it out to get mail or something. The humidity in Korea is horrible and I sweat a ton which never happened living in New England.
@GrabberBlue2010 Aw, don't beat yourself up! @ahrains is right, some days you're the granola, other days you're the sausage McGriddle. It all balances out! I personally think Saturday morning is a great day to wake up and make a nice fresh-fruit smoothie!
@linzrunz lol Sorry about that! I just had to change it up! and... <img title="Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/l2JI85tskHOPJUI6I/giphy.gif" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/l2JI85tskHOPJUI6I/giphy.gif" alt="" height="270" width="480">
@furbabymom2007 this made me laugh out loud! I've done that before except I actually locked the car while it was running. Total fail.
And now I want Dunkin.
As soon as I realized what I'd done my next thought was "oh shit did I lock it??"
i busted my normal key with the buttons and all but it is still on the key ring so I can use the unlock buttons. I keep my valet key on the key ring so I can actually start the car. I have I idea where the second key is and haven't seen it in two years. If it had been locked i would have been calling AAA lol

@slavenski - I had it too. I wear the same couple bras all the time. They are 34G you can just go buy that! I wash them like every other day but still keep the medicine in the cabinet just in case. Even worse is I had this for a very long time like months because when I asked a nurse she said it was nothing and would just go away. I finally showed my boss who said she has had it too and told me how to fix it. So its definitely more common than people think.
@bswishe4 I'm a 32 DDD (I think that's an E in US sizing and a F in UK). Buying bras is hard. It wasn't something that I would have gone to the dr. for either, it just so happens that my SIL is a nurse and I sent her a pic of my underboob lol.
