Attracted to co worker

Hi, I've been working with a collegue for around 8 months now but just recently I've suddenly become very attracted to him. We are both married, I would never do anything as I have young children and wouldn't jeopardise my marriage for what is clearly an infatuation. I am sure he is attracted to me as when we are in the office he generally finds an opportunity to be where I am and will teams calls me when I work from home. I don't feel worried as he hasn't overstepped the mark. Would like some advice on how to navigate and reduce these unwanted sudden feelings of infatuation on my part, I am thinking about him a lot, and its causing me some anxiety.

I've been there and it's hard isn't it? Only thing for me I think is deep down I wouldn't really want anything to happen as it would be terrifying not to mention morally wrong and would ruin lives, it's just a fantasy and probably symbolises something I'm missing or unhappy about in my life and relationship. Could that be the same for you?

Focus on your marriage and family.

No, nope, no, do nothing, act on nothing.
Its a fantasy, he farts, picks his nose, shits. People are their best self at work, the person you are seeing will be far from perfect as soon as the leave work.

Nothing is worth crossing the line.

Always end a relationship before starting a new one.
