Hey I'm a man in his mid twenties who is married to a wonderful woman who I am very attracted to. My problem is that I have a very strong attraction to a particular type of woman that my wife is not. To avoid confusion I will simply say that I am extremely attracted to cute asian women which my wife is not. The group is not the focus in this topic it's the fact that I'm extremely attracted to a group my wife can never be a apart of. I love her and I find her very attractive and sexy but when I see a cute, attractive asian woman approach me, my heart races and I get nervous. I hate it and I'm glad this hasn't happened in front of my wife but I don't know how to stop it. I usually just walk away or stay busy to avoid excessive glances in her direction but I need a better solution. I want to rid myself of this somehow. Yes I know attraction isn't a choice but I love my wife and even distractions like that make me feel guilty. Any ideas? I will never leave the happy life I have with my wife just to pursue pointless desires that arise once in a blue. It's like leaving my beautiful house to spend one night in a flashy expensive hotel just to realize I lost my house because of it.

OP, you married too young and probably got married without having lived life to the fullest before tying the knot. I suggest you get some marriage counseling, and if that doesn't work out, maybe think about getting a divorce so that you can fulfill all your urges and desires before remarrying in your late 30s or early 40s (if you choose to do so).

Agreed.Don't have a problem making that choice. I've dated what I thought I really wanted plenty of times but it never worked out. I broadened my horizon and met my wonderful wife. But I can't seem to shake the feeling I get around the other type of women.

I find that incredibly sad. I don't fault you for it. You sound like a great guy with good character but is facing a tough situation. That said, I often feel flushed and butterflies when an extremely attractive men heads my way. I don't act on it and I don't think about him after he's gone so I don't really care. I'm sure my husband looks at other women and I don't care that much. It's normal and as long he's not rubbing my face in it then I don't care.

I dunno what to tell you. I can't relate to that because I don't have a type. I like men of many varieties. Maybe some sort of hypnosis or alternative therapy would work to rid yourself of this over-the-top attraction.

Believe me I've had my fill. I feel my life is more fulfilling with my wife than if were to go around sleeping with every asian woman I wanted. I dont want to cheat I just hate that I'm so attracted to that type of woman that it makes me nervous.

Perhaps. I too no longer think of it once their gone. I guess I dont like the idea that other women can make me feel this way.

Tough balls. You made vows based on a true love and you have to stick to them if you have integrity. Sadly most people today think it's all a joke and some trivial matter and something you can just toss away into the breeze if it doesn't suit you because something appearing "better" comes along.
