I [30M] have known my wife [30F] for 12 years, six of them married. We have a 20month old son at home. I can’t complain about anything. We’ve built a great life. She’s a great mom, faithful, and caring. On paper, this shouldn’t be a problem.
But I work with another woman [32F], and for years now, I’ve been attracted to this person. Nothing has ever happened physically between us. When I compare this woman to my wife, she’s not as smart, as caring, not even as pretty. But I feel deep down that she is a better match for me as a person. I know she likes being with me as much as I enjoy spending time with her. Had I not been married, I would have pursued a full on romantic relationship with her.
I know the right thing to do in my mind, but my heart feels differently. It doesn’t feel like a fling, (I thought time might help me get over her), but it’s been YEARS, and I’m still struggling with this.
I’m not asking if I should separate from my wife. I just don’t know how to get over this woman at work. I can’t leave my job (great company, we’re both in management level positions). I just want to get past this emotionally. And I wish I wasn’t constantly thinking about this woman I work with.
TL;DR : I’m married and, as much as I’d like to, I can’t get over my coworker. My brains tells me one thing my heart tells me another. Need ideas.
