Having a crush on someone other than your partner while youre in a relationship is totally normal. “Crushes make people feel attractive and alive, and people often get them even when they are very committed to their partners, but the relationship is no longer in that swooning honeymoon phase.”

Can you have a crush without wanting a relationship?

Its normal. Even if you dont want to be in a relationship, for whatever reason, you can still crush on someone. You choose to act on it or not. If you do act on it, its quite likely that youll then want a relationship with that person, no matter how much you think you dont in general.
