No matter how much you love your boyfriend/girlfriend you might find yourself with a wandering eye, checking out other people and toying with the idea of being with someone else. What does it mean? Here are 8 reasons why you might start looking elsewhere:
1. You’re bored. Sometimes you might be totally crazy about your partner but you might be just bored in your life or in your relationship. Thinking about being with someone else can be exhilarating or seem exciting and risqué, which might be a welcome distraction from your boredom.
2. You’re not attracted to your partner anymore. You might have grown really close as a couple but maybe you’re not attracted to your partner anymore. Your eye might start wandering to people that you find more attractive.
3. You’re looking for an ego boost. Knowing that you can snag another partner is a huge ego boost, especially if they are the one perusing you. You can feel underappreciated in a relationship after a while and knowing that someone else desires you can give you a sense of validation.
4. Revenge. If your partner has cheated on you, or is simply neglecting you, you might think of being with someone else as a way to get revenge. If this is the case it’s probably better to just end it and move on.

From time to time every one of us feels insecure in our lives and in our relationships. Insecurity can manifest itself in many different forms. Here are some of the top types of relationship insecurity:
· Jealousy. Jealousy is never really about the person that you’re jealous of – it’s about you. Feeling jealous of someone usually means that we aren’t feeling great about ourselves, and we see something in him or her that we feel we are lacking. So if we see another guy or girl as a threat in our relationship it’s usually because we perceive them to have qualities that we don’t have. We become insecure and afraid that our partners would prefer to be with someone who is more like that person. The more secure we are with our relationships, and ourselves the less likely we are to become jealous.
Relationships tend to move from one stage to the next without us being aware of it. One minute you’re nervous and excited to see the other person and before you know it you’re acting like an old married couple. Here are the stages of a relationship:
1. Courtship. This is the wooing stage where you try to win each other’s affections and are trying to impress each other. You aren’t officially a couple yet and you’re both determining whether or not you like each other. The courtship phase is fun and exciting but can also be stressful and nerve-wracking as you try to impress each other and aren’t secure in knowing the other’s feelings towards you.
2. Honeymoon. The honeymoon phase takes place when you’ve settled into a relationship and have the comfort in knowing that you both like each other and want to be together, but it’s still early enough that you’re having fun and enjoying every moment together.
