In love with coworker

Hi all, I have been feeling heartbroken for a while and unhappy in my marriage for years… in short, I begged her to come back to me when she left, and I just realized it was out of fear of being alone.

Several years have passed, and I have been working with this girl for 5 years. I’ve always felt there was a connection between the two of us, and lately I can’t stop thinking about her. Sometimes I do feel she is only friendly, but lately we have been talking a lot. It might just be on my mind but I feel she is at least slightly attracted to me…

I don’t even know why I am writing this, but I just want to get it out of my chest… I want to feel someone is interested in me. With my wife I haven’t had intimacy in almost a year, and even then it was exclusively me the one looking for it.

I really think about my coworker all day and night, and whenever a day goes by without talking with her I feel so sad and alone. I dream about hugging her and kissing her. Just that, nothing more. It’s not lust, I definitely feel something for her. What’s worse? I am quitting my job, and I’m afraid of never seeing her again. With her I can speak hours just about anything, and I feel happy.

I keep thinking, should I tell her how I feel? She doesn’t have a partner, but I fear I could lose her as a friend as well. Losing her as a friend would devastate me.
