Long term crush on colleague

I have been married with DW for over 2 years, with her for more than 10. Things have not been great for a while. Not completely sure when it started but I reached a point when I lost all my confidence at home. I started to have a crush on my colleague almost 2 years ago. she is in a long term relationship with DB and I don't think she has even realised I like her. I started counselling a few months ago as the crush did not stop and my relationship with DW was not Improving. The crush started quite a while after the realisation that my relationship was not going the right way and i never had a crush until I met her. I know that DC is unreachable but I cannot stop thinking about her all the time. The more i go to counselling the stronger my feelings for DC become. it hurts so much and the guilt feeling is so intense!! I have not done anything wrong (yet) and, in some ways, I am proud of it and I am really trying to get thing working with DW. I'm so fed up to feel like this, and really feel abnormal in some ways. Has anybody been in a similar situation?

This is exactly what I think and I always expected the crush to go away. But it does not and it drives me nuts because it does not make any sense. I am pretty sensible person most of the time and i manage to be realistic about most things in life. But I don't understand why I'm still crazy about DC after so long and knowing that nothing has happened between us.

Leaving her for a woman who shows no interest in you would be a mistake.

Leaving her because you're unhappy would not.

Sorry not completely used to mums net abbreviations yet. DC is colleague, DB is her boyfriend...

I am staying with DW because I have this strange feeling that leaving her would not be the right decision, that we are married and I therefore should should try to work things out.

I think I get it.

DC Dear crush
db - Dear boyfriend (of crush).

Why are you staying with your wife, if you can't stop thinking about others, why not end it?

You have a crush on your brother's girlfriend who you work with?

I'm sorry I couldn't make sense of your post,

I understand you have a crush, you would like to get over the crush and make it work with your wife?

or you would like the crush to break up with DB (darling brother?) and you and her get together?

you need to clarify.
