The honeymoon period is over, i've got a wandering eye and feel terribly guilty

My boyfriend and I have been together a year and a half and I think its safe to say the honeymoon period is over. Although I still love him very much, i'm starting to notice his little flaws more. I'm starting to wonder, on a more serious note, if we're actually right for each other.

We're in a long-distance relationship- i'm at uni studying s science degree but he works full time behind a bar back home. I've been thinking a lot recently about what I want to do with my life and this has lead me to thinking that maybe he is holding me back -both because we're long-distance which is really hard, and because our lives are heading in totally different directions.

He has no ambition to do anything with his life whatsoever. I can see him working behind that bar for the rest of his life. Whereas I hope to work really hard and get somewhere in life. Having said that, I know a career doesn't define somebody. He is the lovliest individual I've ever met. I remember before the honeymoon period was over, I was so excited and happy to see him, all I thought about was him. But now i'm, regrettably, starting to notice other guys. Is this totally normal when the honeymoon phase ends?

I notice guys on my course who have a lot of interests in common with me. I wonder if maybe I would be more compatible with them. I've developed a slight crush on a guy in one of my lectures- which I feel absolutely awful about because my boyfriend is a really special guy- you honestly couldn't meet a more caring, sweet, loving man. I really don't want to lose him but these thoughts keep going around in my head. I keep wondering 'what if I were to be with someone else?' then hating myself for feeling so! :(

is this natural? Does everyone in a long-term relationship go through this? When the honeymoon phase ends, is it normal to realise your boyfriend is not the only guy on the planet? I honestly feel like such a bitch, its tearing me apart right now because he makes me so so happy.
