The Chris Effect 

The Effect happens to be present when you love someone with all your heart (e.g. your partner) but then there is this other person who keeps coming up into your head and stays there for quite a while. You love your partner unconditionally but can‘t help stop thinking about that other person. No matter how hard you try or how much you love your special one the other person will be there in your mind.

Kiera: Hey (friends name), i love my partner so much but i can‘t help it. Chris keeps coming up in my head and i cant stop thinking about him.

Johnny: Oh that‘s "The Chris Effect"
