In love with a woman

I'm married with 2 DC and have never considered, even fleetingly, that I was anything other than heterosexual. My marriage is fine - with ups and downs and dull bits like all marriages. Around three years ago I started working with a woman my own age who is openly gay. I've always found her bright and fun and enjoy spending time with her but in the last year I have developed strong feelings for her. She has made it very clear that she feels the same. I am worried that our friendship could very easily tip over into something more. But equally worried that it won't. I am consumed by thoughts of her. I don't really know what advice I'm looking for but just wondered if anyone else has experienced a similar situation.

Why if you were actually really in love with another person, of either gender would you just ignore it?
People in happy relationships don't generally fall in love with other people.

I can see it is confusing it is a woman if this has never occurred to you before but really it is the person you fall for, not their gender.

Still does not give anyone the right to lie to a committed partner though.
