Help! I need some advice. My daughter is in a relationship with her professor!

<p>Maybe it all blew over and OP and D have considered this a lesson learned–no more relationship, daughter passed course, no reason to want to rock the boat. I always like closure, but in real life, we don’t always get closure.</p>

<p>A Classical novel without an ending is what we are getting here…We all hope for an Hollywood ending where a young and handsome White Knight rescued the girl from the Old-Bag Devil. The two love birds rode on his horse, riding down to the sunset and gone with the wind……:slight_smile:
The End</p>

<p>Ellemenope–So they worked it out and WE have to suffer? LOL!</p>

<p>I like kxc’s comparison to a novel, because that’s what this is here.</p>

<p>I sent the OP a PM several days ago…still no response.</p>

<p>A sense of suspense makes a good novel into a great one!</p>

<p>Let’s just hope there’s not a SEQUEL!</p>

<p>Maybe the OP is regretting posting this to start with and hoping it just fades away…</p>

<p>I wanna know what happened though!</p>

<p>And to me it’s not the age difference - it’s that a professor should never date a student in a class he is currently teaching. Never, never, ever under any circumstances. I’d prefer that professors not date any students at their college, but they absolutely cannot be in a relationship with someone currently in their class.</p>

<p>I really want to know what happened too!</p>

<p>I wonder what OP thinks of us continuing this thread…and where is she/how is she doing???</p>

<p>So everyone is aware, the OP has not logged in since May 2nd. That is why they haven’t responded.</p>

<p>^yep, saw that too…</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but I would report him. This isn’t something that you should have to deal with by yourself, nor should any other family who may potentially go through this.</p>

<p>The OP “registered” as a “new” (ahem) poster the day before starting this thread. This is exactly why I wish posters would stop violating the TOS by registering with more than one screennname. For all we know the OP is happily posting in this thread under their “real” (regular) screen name. Makes me think this whole thread is a joke.</p>

<p>^Do you know for sure that the OP is registered under another screen name?</p>

<p>Yes, the OP may have registered as a new poster right before starting this thread, but some people have followed advice on CC before creating an account and simply created one exactly when they reached the point that they had a question they needed to ask. It doesn’t necessarily mean she has more than one username.</p>

<p>I guess it’s probably all a joke. Doesn’t matter now. </p>

<p>FWIW, entirely unethical while professor has power over student. Just stupid and unethical. Some people are idiots; most colleges have justifiable policies against such stupid behavior. If you want a relationship, then start AFTER there is no longer a conflict of interest! My gosh, who can’t wait a few months? </p>

<p>It’s not necessarily gross, unless your stereotype is professor is some old geiser in a tweed jacket with arm patches. But PLENTY of young, good looking professors out there that aren’t that much older than their students. I know a few such younger great looking men that routinely get flirted with by their students (so much so they worry about it, keep their door WIDE open, and so on). </p>

<p>I should add, I know quite a few married couples were one was once a student of the other.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think most of us agree on that here.</p>

<p>iluvpiano-
Do you know that the op isn’t a regular poster? I thought the first post said something to that effect but its been edited. Sure its possible that some lurker suddenly decided to register to post one very personal post, but IMO, its very unlikely.</p>

<p>Yes, I know the OP isn’t a regular poster and just has this one thread. I haven’t paid attention to the history on CC of people just having one thread and how likely it is that it’s fake, so maybe you’re right. Well this is all just a bunch of crap then if we all read this and now it’s just a dumb fake story!</p>

<p>Oftentimes, I think the “fake” part of posts is that it’s something happening to the OP but they don’t want to admit it so they change the details a little. For instance, perhaps the OP is the dd and posted on the parents forum to gauge how her parents are going to react when they find out.</p>

<p>There have been times when I’ve seen people post about their “brother” or “cousin” and then slip in subsequent posts and use “I.” I don’t think there’s any really harm in it.</p>

<p>And even if this is totally fake, I think it’s helpful to think about how you’d react if this situation happened to you.</p>

<p>Y’all want to write a fake ending??? :D</p>

<p>The sequel–my D is in a relationship with her married boss. :eek:</p>

<p>I can’t imagine that this thread was a ■■■■■ - I simply think she had a question that could not be asked confidentially any other way, and used our guidance as a springboard for making what she felt was the best decision for her family. </p>

<p>I think it is important that we made an honest effort to assist her in such a heartbreaking situation, and wish her the best. If it was a ■■■■■, so what - we all learned form the postings. If it wasn’t, how wonderful for her to get a variety of experiences and opinions. </p>

<p>And by the way, you don’t have to log in to see the posts, so she may (and I hope she is)still seeing our comments. </p>

<p>Best wishes, OP - you have a community that cares about you and your daughter. We wish you well.</p>
