Hi
I'm writing this because I CANNOT talk to anyone in RL about it.
I have a massive crush on a female colleague and it's driving me mad. I have no idea why it started and it's certainly not reciprocal (she'd probably be horrified if she knew!). It's just so all-consuming and unsettling - I don't want it!! We are both married to men with children. I feel so guilty to be "somewhere else" emotionally even though it's pure fiction!
I have fought hard to build my family and although we've been through tough things, I think DH and I have a strong relationship (not perfect but good enough). I haven't been unfaithful in real life - not even close. However, I do consider myself to be bisexual but haven't shared this with anyone. This is not the first time I have had a crush on someone and I find it embarrassing (although I know it's quite common). My crushes have been men or women over the years.
I feel it's got worse recently. I'm in my mid 40s - could it be hormones or just escapism from long hours/small children etc etc. I'm doing my own head in!

Are stupid these crushes a form of mid-life crisis?
