Would this put you off a friendship - one for teachers

[user678906]

Made a friendship with another mum at a baby club earlier this year. We swapped numbers and were planning to go to places together. All seemed fine until she added me on Facebook. I felt like she seemed abit distance the following week still friendly but not quite the same. I know it's nothing I have posted or anything as I hardly put anything on and nothing political ever.
I haven't really spoke to her much apart from occasional likes/comments on Facebook since lockdown.
Anyway yesterday I was on the laptop scrolling through Facebook when DH walked past me and after doing a double take asked why was I friends with his old teacher Mr XXX? (She had posted a photo of herself and her DH) So it appears she is married to DHs old school teacher. Do you think this is why she has been less friendly? If your a teacher how would you feel?

That’s a pretty distant link. I can’t imagine that would be why...

Jesus the age gap must be huge?

I'm not a teacher, but unless DH was a particular nightmare at school, I can't see why it would be a problem that you're friends with his old teacher's wife.

More likely that friend seems a bit distant because of something entirely unrelated to you - maybe baby is not sleeping and she's shattered?

Taking quite easily could be not at all Doesn’t matter even if it is was, surely.

She's 12 years older than me. I only know because she was telling me about how long it took her to conceive. From the looks of it he does look abit older than her.

I think you are overthinking this big time OP.

I asked DH that @RedskyAtnight he said no. He was his history teacher only had about one lesson a week with him.

Thanks everyone think I am overthinking. Only came up because I worked out the linked yesterday.

Not a teacher but one of my grandma’s lifelong friends started dating my aunt’s old secondary teacher (after my aunt left school). My aunt wanted to invite the lifelong friend to her wedding, which meant she also invited her old teacher to her wedding too. Aunt and teacher had a bit of a joke about her still calling him Mr X and not his first name. That was it. And my aunt was a shit at school.

Tenuous link I think. I doubt she'll or her partner would even recognise your husband unless you've taken his wuite specific surname. Besides this happens to teachers ALL. THE. TIME. They are entirely used to running into friends/links etc to their pupils. My parents taught in their small town for forty years each, NOT running into former pupils was unusual!
She's probably just tired!

Well unless her husband has some unsavoury tales about your husband that have put her off!

Or you're FB friends with someone & it has made her think twice?

But perhaps she was just pissed off about something completely unrelated?
