Is it normal to be attracted to your stepdad/stepdaughter?

Obviously it isn't the social norm for attraction to exist in blended familes. However, this has to be more common than we choose to believe.

My wife and I started dating 5 years ago and have been married for 3 years. She is 38, her daughter is 16, and I am 27, now. There is roughly a decade between each our ages. My stepdaughter and I hit it off from the start. There was never any awkwardness, just an instant friendship. We would watch sports, go fishing, enjoyed the same kind of movies, etc. We had more common interests than I had with my wife. We just bonded.

Few years later, she has matured and is a beautiful young woman. She is top of her class, a home body, no interest in dating, and we are closer than ever.

Here is the dilemma. She has gotten more affectionate in the past couple of years. She hugs me as soon as I come home or just randomly if she feels the need. When we are on the couch she will ask me to rub her feet or calves. Sometimes she will just stare at me and smile.

My wife always joked that she had a crush on me but I always laughed it off. Admittingly, that would be flattering but highly unlikely. I must confess that I have started to notice her as very attractive and share an emotional connection with her that I may never have with my wife. I have always focused on converting that into an appropriate level of love and affection. However, if she were to return those feelings I am going to have to leave. I can't destroy lives and rip apart families. Should I be concerned about her developing inappropriate feelings.

    Are you still attracted to your wife, or are you looking at her daughter as a more attractive alternative?

    I think it's normal to recognise she's attractive but having a full on crush on her is a bit inappropriete.

    Looking at this with an open mind, I agree that it is more common. Who am I to determine normality? Seein as how you are unrelated and not old enough to be her father, I would think the chances of attraction occurring would be higher than in most step relationships. Especially if both individuals are physically attractive. It seems you know there should be boundaries and don't want to damage her emotionally or you wouldn't have stated you would leave if she developed feelings for you. Regarding your closing question, you should be concerned that she might develop inappropriate feelings. That is a risk in any blended family and follows law of attraction. This is battle YOU have to face yourself. Cutting back on the physicality would be my start if I were in your shoes. Good Luck.
