To leave?

I have been at my current job about 3 years. It’s not a fantastic, high flying job but it’s convenient right now as I am single mum and it works around school etc.
My boss and I have always getting on, (he is married) we’ve always had a flirty/fiery relationship but it’s always been just “banter”.
Anyway, this past year the flirting has went to the next level. It was flirty messages after work, Pictures were exchanged and it’s just all getting out of hand a bit. Nothing physical has happened, not that that matters but one I feel awful. And two, I am becoming obsessed. If he doesn’t message me, I become down and miserable and when he does I’m on a proper high.
it has started to take over my life to the point I can’t really concentrate at work or on a day to day basis, I don’t know what is wrong with me. He’s not even a nice person either and I know I’m just as bad when I know he has a wide at home so I am prepared to get grilled for this.
do I just leave? I don’t have another job to go to at the moment but I am desperate to stop feeling like this and feel so so down, any help or advice would be massively grateful.

If you are so desperate to hear from him it sounds to me as though leaving will not really solve the problem although it would probably be a start. On the other hand, you say that he’s not a nice person anyway and, as your boss, he is being unethical to put you in this kind of position where you, as single mother who needs the job, feel uncomfortable staying in it. Do you have anyone higher up the chain of command that you could talk to? If not, consider discussing it with a therapist or counsellor.
