I think I have limerence on my boss! Help

I just read another thread on here about limerence and it's clicked. I think I have that on my boss. I've known him all of 7 weeks. He reminds me looks wise of an ex of mine. He seems nice and kind. But I'm completely obsessed with him. He's in my thoughts all the time. I'm playing out scenarios in my mind. Thinking about every interaction. I also had ADHD so more prone to hyperfixations. I'm with someone and have been for 3 years. It has not been plain sailing and I do have doubts about the relationship. He's married with a family and 15 years older than me.
He's never given me any reciprocation. He's just a nice person I think. But from reading the last thread about limerence I'm pretty certain that's what it is. Most people said the only way to get over it is NC. However I can't! He's my boss, I see him most days. Although we don't work directly with each other.
What can I do?

You can grow up, that's what you can do. He's married with a family.

I'm not going to act on it. That's why I'm asking for suggestions to help get over it.

What’s limerence (not sure it’s an actual word, my spell check keeps changing it to Liberace 🤣)

Yes limerence is an actual word, but it makes me wonder why Liberace of all people Grin

Limerence is basically an almost obsessive infatuation with someone.
