Kristen Bell recently shared how her husband, Dax Shepard, was her wingman at the Golden Globes so that she could meet her celebrity crush, Riz Ahmed. This is a perfect example of a relationship where both partners are secure and completely trust that, even though one may find another individual attractive, it won’t challenge their fidelity. It’s natural to see others as appealing, even when you’re in a committed, monogamous relationship, but it is also important to remember that everyone’s physical appearance changes. People get older, and sometimes they get sick. Beauty is not enough to sustain an ongoing romance. If you know in your heart that you’re always the most important person to your partner, then even if they have flirtations and/or a crush, it will enable you to tolerate your partner’s attention or interest in someone else without feeling threatened.
