I need help. I’m infatuated with a random IG girl halfway across the world. She doesn’t know me, I don’t know her. I’m not stalking her profile because she’s hot etc, I have a legit reason to be on her profile. But here’s the situation, I’m married for over 10 years with 2 kids. My family means everything to me. I’m not an impulsive guy when it comes to these things, I’ve never cheated nor will I, God willing. I also understand I’m infatuated with the ig version of this girl, and the idea of her, not the real her. I get all that. Which is why I’m asking in all my sanity, how do I get rid of this infatuation? It’s like a schoolboy crush, I literally haven’t felt this way since high school. It hurts in the stupidest way. I want to stop obsessing and get back to focusing on my family 100% without my mind on this girl. Yes I keep busy. I’ve got a full time job and a side business and a million other things besides my family that occupy my time. Any real world tips from others that have been through this? submitted by /u/idaholee
