A friendship with a male coworker has turned complicated after experiencing a surge of attraction during a work trip. Despite previous platonic feelings, the situation has changed, leading to obsessive thoughts about him. The advice emphasizes that having a crush is normal, but acting on it is inappropriate considering both parties are married. It stresses the necessity of maintaining professional boundaries and advises against confessing one's feelings to avoid potential complications in their jobs and personal lives.
You need to end your friendship with this man. You also might choose to end your marriage, but that is, although intertwined, not a requirement.
The truth is that you are not in love with Rodney from Ad Sales... You have a crush - which is fine, you're not a bad person, it won't kill you.
You cannot 'clear the air' with inappropriate confessions. That's like using sewage as an air freshener.
Part of being a responsible, unselfish person is distancing yourself from someone whose job or relationship could complicate your own.
