Have you ever loved somebody so much that you gave zero consideration to desiring anyone else, even in passing? (lemmy.ml)

If you still desired others it wasn't #truelove IMHO but I understand this has become controversial in some circles.

I can appreciate beautiful/charming women when I meet them, and sometimes I even get flustered talking to them. But I wouldn't say I desire them. My girlfriend is peak woman IMO, the perfect partner for me. As long as she's with me then I don't need another person in that way.

That said, I've absolutely been in relationships in the past where I desired others and wondered what it would be like to be with someone else.
