Your crush is a warning. Look at the crush as at a warning, that something bad is going on in your relations. Maybe, your unhappy or your partner doesn't give you what you want to. Now you're looking for these things in your crush. Save your relations by strengthening bond with your partner.

Talk to your partner. If you can't handle your crush alone, then you have to talk to your partner about it. Let them know what's going on and find the way out together.
