Do you know people in a scandalous relationship?

[Jalapeñomel]

How often do these sort of relationships actually happen? Brought to you by The Girl on the Train, lol.

I'm talking about:

therapist/ patient
doctor/patient
teacher/student
boss/secretary
nanny/spouse
prison worker/prisoner (lol)

Do you know people that are in one of these types of relationships? 

[nsl]

I don't actively know anyone in this type of relationship, but I have known people involved in three different teacher/student relationships over the last ~20 years. One couple got married a few years after the girl graduated, one was dating very shortly after the girl's graduation, and one got the teacher fired because the girl was still his student.

Are we talking high school or college? 

I I cannot imagine being sexually attracted to one of my students...like at all.

A family friend married her student a month after he graduated HS, she was his sr. English teacher.

[tulips]

My college roommate from freshman year married her HS band director. She always swore nothing happened until she graduated and that they just started dating pretty much immediately after her diploma was in hand.

I don't know anyone, but unfortunately the local HS guidance counselor did just get arrested for having an affair with a student... her boyfriend left his wife for her, and then she did that...

Also our substitute secretary at work knew of a weird one...Her niece got divorced and niece's XH married niece's divorce attorney.

this happened at my school too.

[killercupcake]

FastHands, was she actively his client? Or a former client?

[marylennox]

I don't know any, that I can think of anyway.

Our HS gymnastics coach married one of his former gymnasts while she was still in college.
My step-cousin married her HS English teacher a year after she graduated from HS, when she was 19 and he was 32. They still maintain that they didnt have any sort of relationship while she was a student. Uh huh.
We're not talking about people who are married but are also in relationships with other people, right?

Yes...any type of these sorts of relationships.

Friend in grad school was involved with a professor 20 years her senior. He was married with kids.

[slcjess]

My cousin divorced her (hot, btw) h because he was looking at porn and married her old English teacher. She's a character. (Not just for divorcing her h, she's always been a little off kilter). I don't know if it's scandalous or not since everyone involved is old now, but it's all I got. Ha.

Then I know of a few more.

Same.

He was the girls BB coach too. She played several sports.

One of my best friends (and coworker) married our boss. To be fair, a previous manager hired her. After they began dating, HR got involved and they were watched very closely to be sure everything remainded professional at work and she had preformance reviews with our district manager. Her husband eventually left the company, and they have been married about five years now.

[sherbanator]

My husband cheated on me with his subordinate. Then threatened to tell on him when he broke it off.

[lime]

In grad school, one of the other students married her adviser. A year or so into their marriage, they had a physical altercation which caused both of them to get arrested. She broke two of his fingers in the fight.


I know someone now that is slowly sliding toward that. I posted about it earlier in the week but DDed.

Long before I was born, my grandparents were married when my grandpa met another woman. He asked my grandma A for a triad poly relationship and she said eff that, here's some divorce papers. He and Grandma B then got married, and still are 40 or so years later. For most of this time they've had a longtime GF, who was also married, then divorced, and I think remarried at some point.
I didn't know the history until I was ~22 and started putting the timeline together. I asked Grandma A about it and she told me. I was blown away. I mean, for all of my childhood holidays were spent with ALL of them. I have no clue how Grandma A managed that. She's one tough ass lady.

My mom left my dad for his BFF when I was 12. Shortly thereafter she started telling my dad she wanted to get back together, and she was engaged to both of them for awhile. She did eventually remarry my dad.

Same thing happened with my HS band director and our oboe player. As soon as she graduated he gave notice and moved to where she was going off to college. He'd been band director there for years, it's not like he had just arrived.

Holy shit. Yeah, no kidding. Ethical violations abound.

Wow m1and1m! That's a hell of a story.

Mine too. There was also a teacher at my college who (allegedly) married two different former students (not at the same time).

I guess technically my Mom and Stepdad fell into the scandalous relationship category when they started dating. He was the dealership sales manager and had to step down to a regular sales position as he couldn't be her boss anymore.

What made it more scandalous is that my Dad worked at the same dealership as the shop supervisor.

Mom has now returned to microbiology so for the past 5 years Dad and Stepdad have been running the dealership together.

I'm glad everyone gets along, but I'm sure the rumours were wild 15 years ago.

My brother left his fiancee for our dead brother's ex gf like 1 month after his death. Does that count?

[agnes]

My coworker is possibly seeing another married (but seperated?) coworker less than half her age.

In the 80s, H's grandpa cheated on the grandma. He married that woman. I think she possibly worked with him or maybe for him. Step-grandma is only a few years older than MIL. I think she was also married wen the affair started.

They were married until he passed away in 2003 or 4? Grandma still refuses to go anywhere step-grandma will be. Step-grandma is the sweetest lady, too.

My aunt was my uncle's secretary. He was a financial advisor. She got pregnant and they had a shotgun wedding.

I know 2 girls who married high school coaches after high school. I had a friend growing up whose mom had been her dad's secretary. And I know someone whose parents got divorced, as did the couple across the street, and then they all married each other (basically swapping spouses) and continued to live in the same 2 houses.

[katietornado]

A high school classmate of mine married our English teacher.

In 2001, we were 18. Teacher was 23. Teacher's son was 7.

They were together for 14 years and recently split (student is now 32, teacher is now 37). They had a really cool relationship with the kid and his mom, and her new husband and his kid. Like, they would all go on vacation together, and they hung out a lot. I was really sorry to see them split; they were a pretty awesome couple, scandalous beginning to the relationship aside.
