Should I quit my job?

Okay I will try to make this short. Please read it and help me out!
I started a new job about a year ago when my youngest started school. I have worked hard and made my way up to $20/hr and a really good schedule. I love this job! But.... Here's the catch. I work fairly closely with a male co worker. Lately I've noticed feelings developing and the more I try to ignore it the stronger they become. I can tell he is attracted to me too. We are both married and no boundaries have been crossed but its getting to the point I'm starting to lose trust in myself. There are several times a month we end up being alone in the office. I really want to keep this job but I don't want to end up making a terrible mistake. I feel like the longer I stay the stronger my feelings get. Is there anyway to stay in my current position and my marriage?!

Control yourself. It's mental. Make sure he knows the boundaries as well. Self control self control self control.

Start looking for things you hate about him. When you smell a fart in the office instantly blame him in your mind. When something gets screwed up at work blame him in your mind. Go out of your way to avoid him and simply do your job.
You shouldn't have to quit a job over a coworker being attractive.

I know it's easy for me to sit here and say this, since I make nowhere near $20 an hour, but nothing is worth losing your marriage over (assuming you are happy in your marriage). Try to get a transfer/ change to a different company where you can do the same thing. Otherwise, you know where this is most likely headed.....

Be an adult, and keep your vagina in your pants.
