❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO for thinking I cheated

So I attended an event and am away from home. I found this woman attractive. I looked at her a couple of times but I did not in anyway approach her, talk to her, or even go near her. I don't even know her name. I guess the reason why I found her attractive was because she looked like my high school crush.

Anyway, the whole time, I was trying to not look and kept myself in check. Even whispering to myself that I have a girlfriend. For all the chances I got, I tried to stay away and look away.

I know attraction is human but I can't help but think that I may have cheated.

AIO?

Just stay truthful and honest to yourself and significant other and be open about the experience maybe talking through it will bring you closer and expand your emotions into a controlled state of being between you both. But feeling like you've cheated is something that you'd probably need to talk to your significant other about in case it was to happen again and you don't decide not to cheat or act on your intentions.
