My Creepy Friend
This might get long. I'll try to self-edit.
I have a friend who I'm having issues with, and I'm not sure if I should say something or butt out. My instincts tell me to butt out.
He's been a good friend for years, was in my wedding, always there when I need him, but when we don't need each other, we don't see much of one another. And it works for both of us. We see each other a few times a year for birthdays and stuff.
The other night, I went to visit him, and his 'boyfriend' was there. His boyfrinend is 18. My friend is 45. This really really creeped me out. I know that they are both 'adults' and it's really none of my business, and nobody is breaking any kind of law, but I'm just really really creeped out by my friend pretty much taking advantage of a child.
This coming from the guy who had an affair with a 28 or 29 year old teacher when I was 17. But it really creeped me out. I think I'm just going to avoid him until this thing ends. Then maybe I'll tell him that I think it's a good idea that he ended things with the child.
I don't even think I'm asking for advice. I just needed to get that out.

Woohoo! Three people means it's a club!

I thought I'd already told mine a few times.

Are either of yours still teachers? Mine is. Actually, he was an assistant teacher when I was in HS, but he's since completed his certification and is now a full teacher.

I think I've shared my story before, but I'll go add it to the confessions for the hell of it. I may have shared it like 4 years ago when lots of you weren't here yet.
I've shared mine to, but at least Okla hasn't seen it, and there's not much action, so I'll post it again as well.
And I have no idea if she's still teaching. Gasp, Groomz had sex with a woman?

I'll do mine again, too. I know Rob's Island was at least the first time I'd heard yours, Groomz.
I'm glad you confessed to the lady sex thing. I didn't want to out you accidentally and make it all awkward.

I wonder why this would not creep me in the least?
I feel like an 18 year old is old enough to consent to a relationahip...unless you think your friend is like...a manipulative or abusive (emotionally, perhaps?) creeper....
like..why is this so weird?
and if it is...why don;t i get it?
I also came very close to an assistant teacher fling...he brought me presents and made me drawings all the time ( he was my art class assistant teacher)...I would have been all over it, but i had a boyfriend who was FURIOUS with the attention this guy was giving to me- and my stupid friend kept updating him on the goings on and weird gifts...(the boyfriend was not in my school...)
I feel like it was a missed experience or at least terrific sex. the guy was so odd...I liked him, for sure. 'i wonder if he's teaching now...
