A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Im 27 and have the hugest crush on 1 of my reps. He's married and im engaged.We often go out out as a group and get on so well. People at work notice we have a "spark".

I went on holiday 2 months ago to St Lucia for 2 weeks and the whole time i couldnt wait to get back to work to see him.

Im not a home wrecker and cant stand these feelings anymore as i know if i ever had the opportunity i probably would have an affair with him so thats why im thinking of handing my notice in next week.

Anyone else had these feelings? Do they go away?Its been nearly 2 years.....

Thanks

Maybe, I could be wrong, but could this be a subtle message that you and your fiancé are not suited to each other. I mean you are engaged, shouldn’t you be thinking of the man you are about to marry. I guess you have asked yourself this question.

This obsession with a married man is a huge mistake. Married men = unavailable. The lust you feel = you are bored with your relationship. The realisation that you would cheat with this guy = you are in the wrong relationship.

It’s not the job you need to change; it’s your relationship with your fiancé that needs your attention.

tux agony auntLearn some self-control. You need to learn to get a grasp on your emotions.. first off, I think the first thing you should consider is if you should cancel your engagement because you seem to have a taste of love beyond the guy you are planning on marrying. Then you can worry about the job situation.

QuirkLady agony auntIt's been two years?! Yes, you should definitely find another job or try for a reassignment. Remove the temptation if you feel that it's too much. That's the smart move.

I had the same problems with my boss once, I ended up resigning over it. It was one of the smartest decisions I've ever made.

Good luck!

If it is a job you love or one you need, then either asked to be reassigned to a different department or get a hold on yourself. You are in lust and you are fantasizing and projecting onto him what you think a relationship with him would be like, and the fact that he is unavailable makes him a challenge.

Are you bored? Do you need a hobby? Find something in your life to be passionate about. You don't sound ready to get married to me, why are you even engaged and thinking about another man?
