Love of my life is now my boss

I fell madly in love with her in high school. We became very good friends and told each other everything. She is only woman I have really been able to talk to. She moved to a city in another state for college, I stayed here. The first couple of years we stayed in touch. We saw each other when she was back in town. We texted. This became more rare. We fell out of touch. I tried to keep it going, but she started to ignore me. She broke my heart.

Recently, I applied for a great job and got it. My first day I was introduced to my co-workers and my supervisors. There she was. One of my supervisors. She had taken the job a few weeks before.

The feelings are still there. I don't want to go to work. is it normal that I am bothered that the love of my life who broke my heart is my boss, and I can't relive it all again, especially if she just wants to be friends (and boss-employee)? Any suggestions?

    It is normal for you to feel this way especially because the feelings are still there.

    Go to work anyway. You have to get her out of your heart somehow even though she just wants to be friends.

    As much as her ignoring you has hurt you, be strong and get over the hurt.

    As the feelings are one-sided you really have no other choice. I was once in a similar situation to yours. It has been so long but my feelings are still there.

    I am still trying to get over it as hard as it is. Take a deep breath and be honest with yourself. You will get over all these things once you accept it wholly.

    I wish you all the best!

    I'm I the same situation... God, I hate it. I've been trying to get over him, but I can't. It doesn't matter how hard I try, I still think about him all the time. Now I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I talk to him. I think we just have to remember that you can't make someone love you. You aren't alone.

    Ok , you broke the rule you know thier is rule against bosses dating thier employees ? I guess you have not figured that out when you decided to pursue this godawful idea , she is your boss not a coworker do you realize how unproffesioniol this is ? This is why you dont mix work and your personal love life I for one think this was a terrible move to begin with , you didnt think ahead when you chose to start it . Deal with it and continue going to work a stupid crush is not worth losing your jobs , if the person makes you sad do not aviod them that never fixes anything face up and be a man already . I had the same issue I faced it " .
