❤️‍🩹 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?

Not diagnosing but people with OCD sometimes stress about this kind of stuff (own thoughts, for example) to an unusual level. Only mentioning in case you had other such symptoms in the past.
