Hi everyone.I have a friend who came to me yesterday to seek some advice and I did not know what to tell him.That is why I am posting this today.He has been married for around ten years and now he is feeling that he is being tempted.His problem is that he works in a shop where he has a lot of interactions with other women and he finds himself being attracted.He wanted to know how he could control himself as he does not want to have problem in his couple.

The best thing to do in this situation is that he should try to limit his conversations with other woman to a minimum.He should not get himself involved with woman in other situations other than professional ones.He should also be careful not to be alone with any woman in particular.I think that talking with a counselor could be helpful for him.

I think it is normal to get attracted to other people as he is permanently with them. But the problem is that what have been build up since 10 years with the person he chose to marry with is much more important than the simple attraction he got from the women with whom he work. He must not let himself to be lead into temptation. This only destroy his family he has been constructing since years.

He loves his wife? If yes, good. He should start by focusing on that. Also, as antora suggested, he could limit his conversations, try not to be charming but just professional, avoid having other discussions than what concerns the work... One can control him/herself if he/she wants to....

the best thing is that he is willing to admit that he is going in the wrong path. he wants to correct himself. this is the first right thing he is doing. since he realises it then it should not be difficult for him to solve the problem. he should either stop workinh in the shop or else he should try to control his feelings. or else he should talk to his girlfriend bout the problem and seek her help in trying to control himself.

It is normal for a guy to feel like this when you are surrounded with other woman.I think that he must try not become to familiar with the woman and try to remain only professional in his conversations with them.In any case he should let these feelings of fear of temptation overtake him as this could have negative impact on his life.

"He does not want to have problem in his couple"..this is a start, he must take this as a boost as to resist the temptation. He fixes his mind on the possible problems he can have letting go in his temptations, this can help. Control over these is a matter of respect for the marriage, for his wife, for himself also. I think he would not want to blame himself all his life for letting himself go to cheating and hurting his wife.

Not a bad idea, but firstly his girlfriend would have to go there everyday and secondly, what would he say to his girlfriend to have her presence there while he is working?

We are only human, subject to temptations too. That's normal, but humans also have the possibility to control these, if they have the will to! If he wants to control himself, I see no reason why he couldn't do so. I don't think there's a special trick actually.
