Schoolgirl crush at work

NC for this as this would ruin my life if I was found out,
I'm feeling so ridiculous though, I am happily married (or at least I thought I was) have a much loved and longed for DD and started my perfect job not long ago, now out of nowhere I have developed what can only be described as a teenage crush on one of my (married) colleagues, it feels all consuming, all I can think about is them, my heart truly skips when I see them and when I spend time with them, I rush into work every morning and find myself having reasons to stay later after.
Someone give my head a wobble and tell me this will pass

I've had this from time to time. Wouldn't worry about it, perfectly normal - as long as you don't act on it I don't see it as a problem.

It's happened to me too. Was so glad when it passed as if I'd acted on it it would have made so many people I love miserable.
I concentrated on all the bits that would have driven me nuts and all the bits I loved about my husband.
Oh and be careful about sharing phone no/social media, it's very easy to get sucked into it deeper. Keeping it at work helps

There must be something in the water as been lots of similar threads on here recently!

I'm going through similar OP and I would say like pp does, as long as you don't act on it just enjoy it. Makes you feel alive I know.
Might be worth examining your marriage though to see if anything is missing.

It will pass, as long as you don’t feed it. Don’t seek him out, don’t stay late, don’t let yourself fantasise. You’ll be over it before long!

This doesn't mean you're not happily married. It's happened to me a few times. I would just be aware that you are 'finding reasons to stay late' and notice that this is exactly what you're doing - ie, don't stay late, try to avoid being around this person unless your job absolutely requires it, and it will blow over eventually.
