It's normal and natural to have a crush on another person if you are in a relationship. In most cases, a crush is harmless and doesn't indicate any serious relationship problems. But if you feed your crush it could indicate that you are having trouble with your own issues or that you're trying to scratch an area in your relationship.

But if you're already in an intimate relationship, you need to be aware of the dangers that can arise from these feelings. A crush can cause serious problems, even though it may seem harmless.
