Would you think this relationship was wrong?

A teacher and former pupil. Pupil having been left a few years and was never actually taught by the teacher, although some interaction during sixth form.

Absolutely nothing ever went on at school, no closer than normal student/teacher relationships, no rumours or anything along those lines.

So honest opinions would you still think it was wrong on some level? And would you believe that there had been nothing untoward while at school?

Based on the facts as described, there’s nothing wrong with that and there’s no way your bf could get into legal trouble for it.

Yes, I thought this must be about Macron too when I read it.

Maybe an attempt to get lefty liberals to condemn him / wife and then say "ah, see you are all hypocrites". Suspicious mind obviously.

But sounds ok to me - the younger the teacher the more likely Ok.

Some people will uncomfortable with it, others wont. I'm wondering how I'd feel if it was my DD. Probably a little uncomfortable... but my main concern would be him not messing her around.

The age gap isn't massive... so that's good. Much less of a concern. Not like the president of France and his wife.

You sound like it's just a casual thing for you and I'd wonder if it's worth the potential grief with that in mind.

I'd think it was a little odd sorry op.

My friend's sister starting dating her ex teacher when she left school. She was 18 and him 24. They married, had two lovely children and were very happy for 15 years until he has a heart attack and died in front of her. Not a problem if the way you describe.

I get that Offred but at first we were just chatting about a common interest/event, there was a quite obvious spark and from that it led to a few dates. By the time I brought up this issue, we’d seen a fair bit of each other and I guess got a little attached.

It doesn’t feel at all odd when we’re together though, and it’s like we’ve only just met as we never spoke about personal stuff at school. I don’t really think he ever noticed me and I was rather loved up in my relationship at the time so never thought of him in that way.

That’s what I’m thinking Sandy I really like him, but I’m not ready for anything serious just yet (or anytime soon really).

So is it worth it..... I honestly don’t know!
