Relationships In workplace

For the last year or so I've had an on off casual romance with a colleague.
The last few months feelings have intensified and we've both developed strong feelings for one another.
Whilst there is nothing in our contracts regarding relations, we both hold senior positions within the organisation, so this would be frowned up on to say the least and chances of further promotion for both of us would be overlooked.
We've therefore decided to end our relationship.
We've acknowledged it's going to be difficult we work in the same small room with a handful of other colleagues and there is no option for one of us to move offices.
How the hell are you meant to get over someone when you both still like one another, care deeply for each other and are still attracted to each other when you spend 40+ hours a week together?

Hello.

Its going to be very difficult and painful! Is there no way one of you might look around for a new job, just as good?

Do you need to split up. Why not continue discreetly while you look for other jobs.

What @MikeUniformMike said. Can’t one of you look for another job whilst continuing to be discreet?

Relationships in the workplace if you don't let it affect your work shouldn't be a problem. An acrimonious split and still having to work together would be hellish. how would either of you feel if the other one started seeing someone else?

I worked for a company and one of the directors married a co-owner. I don't think anyone minded. They made a nice couple.
