When you realize that you need to get over your attraction to a married coworker, find a hobby in which you can immerse yourself. Take up gardening or pottery or join a bowling league. A hobby will require your mental and physical participation, and this will help distract you from thinking about your married coworker. Engaging in a hobby will also help you achieve personal happiness and satisfaction.

Attraction to a married coworker can bring up negative feelings of guilt, shame and disappointment in yourself. Licensed clinical psychologist, author and relationship expert Seth Meyers, Psy.D., says that women who fall for unavailable men struggle with negative feelings such as low self-esteem and emotional insecurity. Women - and men - who are attracted to someone who's married must forgive themselves for making a mistake. Neuropsychologist and author Rick Hanson, Ph.D., adds that through the act of self-forgiveness, a person can convert guilt, shame and disappointment into valuable learning opportunities.

Focus on setting personal goals to get over your attraction to your married coworker. An example is to create opportunities to meet eligible partners by going out on a date or to a social gathering at least once a month. Commit these goals to paper. Setting goals will help shift your focus from a person with whom you cannot have a relationship to someone with whom you can begin a romance.

If you've started new hobbies, started to forgive yourself and set some goals but find that you're not over your attraction, speak with a trusted confidant to help you process the issue so that you can move on. Share your thoughts and feelings with someone who you know will not judge you. This may be a close friend or an unbiased therapist. Whomever you choose, allow this person to help you address this issue so that you can discover your own happiness.
