Can’t Take it Anymore..Has Anyone Left Job to Avoid LO?

Question

My feelings for LO are absolutely overwhelming, I think to the point that I sometimes overstep boundaries and make her feel uncomfortable. It just felt so good chatting with her after being subjected to (or rather, allowing myself to stay in) an abusive relationship for many years. I want to tell her before I leave that I’m sorry - I wish I could have just been a normal friend to you and not bothered you, but I know deep down it’s a bad idea.

I’m not sure if transferring to a closer location would solve my problem or is such a temporary solution i.e. avoidance of larger issues going on here, namely the recurring patterns of limerence in my life. I will give two week’s notice and get out of that mental hell.

But what do you think? Should I just leave ASAP? She is moving soon, but in the meantime, this is absolute torture. I even left work early today because it was too much for me.
