Should you change jobs - purely just to get over someone.

[Ilovetomodell]

I love my job- aside from the fact that I was with someone that works for the same company as me. He is the love of my life, I'd do anything for him, and everytime my phone 'pings' with a new email - I hope it's from him. He is married ( but we had a relationship when he was separated) but he has gone back to his wife. We keep in contact mostly through work email, and he has let me down and hurt me so many times. I want to move on and forget him and have tried, but now I am thinking the only way to do this is to leave my job, because I know then we won't contact each other again. I met him 3 years ago ffs!!! Is this a good enough reason???

What do you mean 'we won't contact each other again'? Are you still on/off even though he's gone back to his wife?

Yes I would look for s new job in your situation.

How easy would it be to get a new job? Are there lots of available jobs in your sector?

Yes, but make sure the next job is a step up, or at least challenging. Don't take a pay cut.

I'm a little bit in this situation OP. (not exactly the same but something similar-ish). I too love my job, its enjoyable, fairly well paid and local. I'd been intent on sticking it out in the hope that things would just get easier over time but this hasn't really happened and now i'm increasingly thinking that i'll have to leave if i'm ever going to move on.

Its a tricky decision. Be interested to hear what you decide. Good luck!
