Most of us spend a huge chunk of our day at work, which means we’re around our coworkers just as much if not more than our own families. When you’re constantly collaborating, tackling challenges together, and sharing everyday moments, it’s not surprising that a little work crush can sneak up on you. But when you’re happily married (and so is the other person), things can get complicated.
That’s exactly what happened to one woman, who found herself catching feelings for a coworker despite loving her husband and family. She knows it’s probably just a proximity thing, and she wants it gone ASAP. Not wanting to let this harmless crush turn into something more, she turned to the internet for advice on how to move on and keep things strictly professional.

Spice things up with your husband! Life’s too short to not have fun. Put a wig on him, try that thing you’ve always been curious about, do something you’ve never done before. People get bored by doing the same stuff day in and day out. That tempts you away from your partner. Easy solution: do something, ANYTHING, new, TOGETHER. Zero distractions, no kids, just the two of you doing something new. Doesn’t have to be sexual, but it just has to happen. Ask yourself: *When was the last time you had a* really *good date night?*.

By remembering that I have a family that loves and rely on me. No little crush is jeopardizing that. Plus having a good partner that takes care of the physical side of our relationship quite well.

You're married? That should be good enough to get over it.
Honestly just have the willpower to let it go. It's not worth it.

I had a crush on a coworker and it faded when I saw he plays padel every day at ridiculous hours, and sometimes even 2 times a day. That’s definitely something I wouldn’t do.

Imagine all the drama you’d be getting into. That would help you get that person out of your mind pretty quickly I would think.

Think about everything that drives you crazy about your husband and apply it to him. You only see him at work where people are usually their best. He probably farts in bed, snores, leaves the toilet seat up, clothes strewn everywhere, maybe drinks a lot, burps, doesn't say good morning or night, can't fix anything broken, and is going to age less gracefully than others. Well, just a few more hours before I can go home from work.
