[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never done this. But I have a new coworker and we just click. In every sense. He makes me feel like I’m 18 again with my first love…. Not the middle age married soccer mom that I am now.  I’m deeply infatuated.

My marriage is blah, but DH is a nice guy. Coworker is also married, lives a plane ride away (we travel together sometimes), and while he shows signs of interest we both try hard not to acknowledge it - though I’m the one who holds back. It’s hard because we have to work together and I’m constantly coming up with excuses why I can’t collaborate when the reality is that I can only think of NSFW stuff when he calls and we are supposed to be reviewing spreadsheets…

It’s distracting and I want it to end this feeling and either a) move on with my boring dead marriage existence of driving kids to suburban soccer games or b) just do this already. But, I don’t feel like I can let my guard down because I could be wrong - he could just be nice and I’m interpreting nice as something more.

Any advice from someone who has been there done that?

I’m thinking of getting therapy. [/quote]

Everyone feels attracted to other people from time to time, even married people. You are married, not dead. However, people who value their marriage, morals and ethics, tend to have control over their reaction. If they feel that attraction can lead to trouble, they limit their interactions with that person to avoid proximity syndrome. If that doesn't help, they seek therapy. During your lifetime, you'll meet at least few people who share same wavelength as you, your are not going to violate your morals, marriage vows or professional ethics for your infatuation. [/quote]
