Kristen BellandDax Shepardare very much in love, but that doesn’t mean they’re not attracted to other people.
On Wednesday, Bell, 38, opened up abouttheir marriageand stressed the importance of honesty during an appearance onThe View.
“I think that the one thing that marriages don’t have anymore is honesty,” Bell explained. “We’re playing this sort of Ken and Barbie game, like, ‘These are the rules and they should be applicable to everyone.’ ”
“It’s about your narcissism,” she said. “And you need to identify that you’re questioning, ‘Why am I not good enough?’ ”
Bell went on to explain that she is attracted to other men, but that doesn’t mean she loves her husband any less.
“I’m also attracted to other guys because some other guys are very handsome. … But me being attracted to another man, I know because I’m experiencing it, has absolutely nothing to do with my husband,” she shared.
“So I know for a fact that when he experiences the same thing, it doesn’t have anything to do with me not being good enough,” Bell continued.
“The jealousy issues that I would have towards my husband are not me dealing with my issues of inadequacy,” Bell responded.
