1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Students who had a secret intimate relationship with a teacher.

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.599
<v Speaker 1>How did it start and how did it turn out?

3
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Story one. I was a senior in high school and

4
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>my English class had a very beautiful Latin female college

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>student teacher's assistant along with a very cool full time

6
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>male teacher. I was a really quiet kid in my

7
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>senior year, just wanting to graduate and get the heck

8
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>out of school. I also liked to draw and write

9
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot, so I was always turning in work that

10
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>interested her. She would ask me how I came up

11
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 1>with ideas and discuss indie graphic novels with me. Usually

12
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>just small talk and one of the only people who

13
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>was really outgoing towards me. She asked a few weeks

14
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>before Halloween if I could stay after one day to

15
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 1>discuss a subject with me, and as it was the

16
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>last class of the day, I was okay with it.

17
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 1>So we are sitting together discussing some of the material

18
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I wrote, along with some books they made her think

19
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 1>of that she wanted me to borrow to read. Everyone

20
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>has slowly been leaving the class, along with the full

21
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 1>time teacher. Eventually it is just me and her, and

22
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't notice this until she gets noticeably closer to

23
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>me while talking. Basically, her chesticles were in my arm,

24
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 1>which I noticed was bigger than her clothes made it appear.

25
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Then she starts asking me personal questions and saying personal

26
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>experiences help with writing, which is mixed with her making

27
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>herself look cute and giving me a look that I

28
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 1>understand now is one of wanting. She asks if I've

29
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>had a girlfriend, and I tell her about why I'm

30
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>so quiet at school, having a bad relationship and not

31
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>really being comfortable at school where everyone knows my business,

32
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and that is definitely why I'm single. At that point,

33
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>she starts holding my hand and telling me that as

34
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>a whole, life can be hard, but it isn't all bad,

35
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and if it's any consolation, I did not deserve to

36
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>get treated that way. Then she kissed me and we

37
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>kept kissing until we heard a janitor coming and asked

38
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 1>me to come to her place. We got to her place,

39
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>where we immediately started making out in her bed and

40
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>ended up banging for hours. It was amazing because of her,

41
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 1>I've always been more attractive to women with curves that

42
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 1>were also fit and obviously work out. We ended up

43
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>shagging and smushing a lot for the rest of the

44
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>year and through my first year at community college where

45
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I was finishing my gen ED credits before transferring to

46
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a better university. Not a relationship, just really good friends

47
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>with benefits. She ended up moving to a different state

48
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 1>for a really good teaching position at a college with

49
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 1>an amazing writing program. We're both separately married now and

50
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>want to meet as friends, but are hesitant because we

51
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>do not trust ourselves alone with each other. She's still

52
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>very beautiful. Before we continue, do us a quick favor.

54
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Story two. I was eighteen and still in high school

55
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>when my parents left me home alone for the first

56
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>time while they went on vacation. One evening out for

57
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 1>a couple of drinks, I was scrolling through my phones

58
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>contacts looking for someone to have fun with, and to

59
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>my surprise, I still have my French teachers number saved.

60
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>I gave her a call to see if she wanted

61
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 1>to grab a drink. Being the only guy in my

62
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>class seemed to make her fancy me a little. She

63
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>said yes, so we met up and had a couple

64
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of beers. Afterwards, she mentioned she was hungry. I told

65
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 1>her we could grab a pizza and chill at my

66
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>place since I was home alone. She didn't hesitate to

67
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 1>say yes. Back at my place, we ate and drank

68
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>some more. Eventually, she said it was too late to

69
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 1>go home and asked if I had any pajamas for her.

70
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 1>She never got around to putting them on. After undressing,

71
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 1>she kissed me. One thing led to another, and it

72
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>kept leading to other things all summer long. When school

73
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>started again, she told me I could be excused from

74
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 1>her classes. I gave her a D. She gave me

75
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a BEE as a passing grade, and I never heard

76
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>from her again. Story three. I had a huge crush

77
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>on one of my college instructors. I was just coming

78
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 1>out of a really bad relationship and decided the best

79
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>way to get over that jerk was to get under

80
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>this teacher. I pursued him pretty relentlessly for several weeks,

81
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>asking him to join me and the other students for drinks,

82
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>wearing super hot outfits to class, sitting in provocative ways,

83
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 1>general flirting, et cetera, until we started banging. He was

84
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship at the time, which made it all

85
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 1>the more complicated. We sort of dated for several months.

86
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 1>He worked a kind of prestigious, at least to me,

87
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>job at a major state government entity. At one point

88
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we banged in his office overlooking the city, which was

89
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>admittedly pretty cool. I developed a lot of real feelings

90
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>for him throughout our relationship, so him having another life

91
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>with another woman began to take a toll on me.

92
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 1>He knew it was more of a fling than anything else,

93
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 1>and when he saw I wanted more, he tried to

94
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 1>tell me gently that he didn't believe we were going anywhere.

95
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I was hurt, upset, and we stopped seeing each other.

96
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank God too, because I met my amazing, loving and

97
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>perfect husband immediately after that relationship. If we hadn't ended

98
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 1>our fling when we did, I would not have I

99
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>met my husband, and my whole life would be different.

100
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I thank my lucky stars every day that he told

101
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>me we weren't going to be anything more than intimate.

102
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>When he did, he unknowingly set my whole life on

103
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 1>the right path by setting me free precisely when he did.

104
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Story four, I received a really good evaluation. Since we

105
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't have traditional grades, it was more like a two

106
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 1>page report that said I had the writing skills of

107
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>a graduate student. I guess I'm a bit slow when

108
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes to understanding that kind of feedback. It started

109
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 1>just like any relationship. Does. You notice a twinkle in

110
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>their eye, they laugh at something you say that really

111
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 1>isn't that funny, and you get a little excited. She

112
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 1>was way older, but really attractive and German, so I

113
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 1>asked if she liked beer. She did. We went to

114
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the bar down the road, not some dive, but a

115
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 1>proper beer bar. We ended up having wayn Stephanner and

116
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Erbach loosened up and joked around. Then I straight up

117
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>told her I wanted to draw her unclothed. She had

118
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>seen me sketching in class all the time and just

119
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>said sure. Before we even left the booth at the bar,

120
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 1>I admitted I wasn't really trying to draw her. I

121
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to get her out of her clothes. I

122
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>have no idea why she found that endearing, but she

123
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>took me to her house and we banged hard. We

124
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 1>agreed it would be a one time thing and promised

125
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to be responsible about it. So for the rest of

126
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the semester I was like a secret agent sleeping with

127
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>an older woman. Honestly, it's probably for the best. It

128
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>was just once. If I'd had the chance to keep going,

129
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>I might have tried to move in and pay her

130
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>rent with oral favors. It's tough out here for a

131
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>millennial trying to get a home. Story five. I was eighteen,

132
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>living out in the middle of nowhere in the mountains

133
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>of California. I was always the first one on the

134
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 1>bus and the last one off, which made for some

135
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>really long school days. My evening drop off bus driver

136
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>was a black woman in her mid thirties. She was

137
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>really sweet, and since my stop was so far out,

138
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>we had plenty of time to talk one on one.

139
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Eventually I got pretty flirtatious. I've always had a thing

140
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>for black girls, and well, I was a teenager ready

141
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 1>to boot. I was actually the one who started steering

142
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>our conversations toward more inappropriate topics. Looking back now, I

143
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.399
<v Speaker 1>can tell she totally saw right through me and my intentions.

144
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>About two months into the school year, I began asking

145
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 1>her to teach me about the intimate stuff. I was

146
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 1>a virgin and she was an experienced married mom with

147
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>two kids. I knew it was wrong, but she didn't

148
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>seem very happy in her marriage. Since my bus stop

149
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 1>was far from my house, I still had to walk

150
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 1>down a long dirt road to get home, so she

151
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 1>started parking at my stop, and eventually she took me

152
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>up on my requests. Throughout that entire school year, we

153
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 1>were banging or did other things in the bus about

154
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 1>three to five times a week. I might have been

155
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 1>young and the situation was definitely screwed, but I don't

156
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 1>regret it at all. Having a mature woman's perspective helped

157
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 1>me learn so much. My mom didn't really care that

158
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I was coming home thirty to forty minutes late. She

159
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a crappy parent and was badly addicted

160
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to online poker games. Honestly, I'm not sure how she

161
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>got away with it. She never got caught or anything. Anyway,

162
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>After that school year ended, she was put on a

163
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>different route. We stayed in touch, and I started going

164
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 1>into town to visit her. Our relationship lasted until the

165
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.399
<v Speaker 1>end of high school. It's kind of funny I never

166
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 1>dated anyone in high school because of all the side action.

167
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 1>After high school, I ended up moving away from that town.

168
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>It was probably for the best, since we were never

169
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>caught by her husband just luck. I guess, funny enough,

170
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 1>she's still with that guy, mostly for the money. Story six.

171
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I had a crush on my freshman psychology teacher, and

172
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>he noticed. We started chatting via email, then phone calls,

173
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and before long he invited me to his house in

174
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the e evenings to watch movies. We started sleeping together

175
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>before the semester was out. Then it started happening, him

176
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 1>avoiding me at unpredictable times, dumping me, then asking me

177
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to come back, acting sneaky, getting caught lying about his

178
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>spending innocent time with other female students, refusing to speak

179
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to me for weeks on end, saying he was busy

180
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>while hanging out with others instead, but then spending weeks

181
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 1>at a time exclusively with me. Oh and all this

182
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>after he frigging married me in secret. I spent four

183
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>years trauma bonded to him, while he in turn rejected me,

184
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>seemed genuinely emotionally invested, and either pretended to like me

185
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 1>or openly hated me. I tried to walk away, and

186
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 1>he would pull me back. It was emotional torture, but

187
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I was too weak and damaged to leave for good.

188
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I became deeply depressed. My self esteem was shattered, and

189
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I contemplated offing myself to the point that I gave

190
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 1>many of my cherished belongings away in preparation and withdrew socially.

191
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I was a mess, and still he continued to screw

192
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>me around emotionally. It's been a year now since we

193
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>broke up, but we still talk, dragging out the rejection.

194
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I can barely sleep. I cry every morning. As soon

195
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 1>as I wake, I fall asleep crying most nights. I'm

196
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 1>completely miserable, and there are days I wish we'd never met.

197
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to start counseling soon because I can't go

198
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>on like this anymore. Story seven. He was a professor

199
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>at the university I attended and was exactly twice my age,

200
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 1>which was a fantasy I entertained my whole life until

201
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 1>our relationship ruined it for me. We went to the

202
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 1>same concert one night, and he invited me for coffee

203
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days later to talk about music. Upon

204
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>entering the cafe, he kissed my cheeks in a European

205
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 1>style greeting and made some comment about maybe that's a

206
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>little forward for a first date, and I lapped it up.

207
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Hadn't even dared to think of it that way, but

208
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 1>it was exactly what I wanted to hear, and by

209
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the end of the date he was getting a little

210
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.039
<v Speaker 1>touchy with me in a public park nearby. This was

211
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a little less than ten years ago, and I wish

212
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I could go back in time and punch myself in

213
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the face for being so stupid. A couple of days later,

214
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I gave him a blowy in his office, and a

215
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.519
<v Speaker 1>few days after that he drove me to his apartment

216
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 1>so we could sleep together. It was my first time

217
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>for everything. I was so caught up in the thrill

218
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>of the forbidden relationship and with this much older man

219
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>who seemed to be infatuated with me. We would meet

220
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.639
<v Speaker 1>in deserted hallways on campus and make out or have

221
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:33.919
<v Speaker 1>silent sessions in his office in the middle of the

222
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>damn day. We were together in secret for a couple

223
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>of months than my parents found out and chaos erupted.

224
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 1>He would have lost his job if I hadn't lied

225
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 1>to the administration for him. We were more or less

226
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.919
<v Speaker 1>together for another six months or so after that, when

227
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 1>finally I woke up and realized nothing was changing. I

228
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>was destroying my relationship with my parents for someone who

229
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 1>didn't care about me at all, so I ended it.

230
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 1>It was a horrible relationship. He was emotionally abusive and

231
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>manipulative and lied about everything. Anything I wanted to do.

232
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Any aspirations I had outside of his vision were mocked

233
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>or written off. Any confrontation about how to deal with

234
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>my parents, the school, his family, et cetera. Moving forward

235
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>made him angry, and he lashed out at me verbally

236
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to stop the questions. He showed risque photos of me

237
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to people I didn't know, and bragged about having me

238
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 1>to his non university friends in a really disgusting way.

239
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Once he realized how inexperienced I was, he constantly reminisced

240
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 1>about how other women were in bed. He wanted a

241
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 1>fangirl desperate for his attention, and that's what he got

242
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 1>in me. For a long time. He even bought me

243
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a cheap engagement ring at one point. Do you believe

244
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.679
<v Speaker 1>I accepted it? My long standing suspicions of his infidelity

245
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>were proved after the fact. Turns out I was one

246
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>of six, including four other students and his next door neighbor.

247
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 1>All of us were in the same age range. Young twenties.

248
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 1>In hindsight, this is no no, no surprise, but at

249
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 1>the time I really did think I was special to him.

250
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Over the summer post breakup, I still had another year

251
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of school left for my degree. He got fired or

252
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 1>didn't get the option for tenure, or was asked to

253
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>resign or quit or something from the university where we met,

254
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and the last I heard, he'd taken a job teaching

255
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>at a much smaller college in the same area. No

256
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>idea what he's doing now, But for the first two

257
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 1>or three years after I cut him off, I got

258
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>restricted phone calls from him every once in a while,

259
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 1>though I think he tried to apologize once, but I

260
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>never read any of the messages, just blocked the new

261
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>accounts and moved on, So I don't know for sure

262
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>how he feels about that time. Story eight. I had

263
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a romantic relationship with one of my college professors. At

264
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 1>the time. I was around twenty and she was in

265
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>her mid thirties. I went to see her during her

266
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 1>office hours. We talked for a few minutes, and when

267
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I went to leave, she gave me a long hug

268
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.919
<v Speaker 1>and told me you give really nice hugs as she

269
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>held onto my arms, I asked for her number and

270
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.799
<v Speaker 1>went on my way. We exchanged a few flirty text

271
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 1>messages over the next few days before she invited me

272
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 1>over to her apartment to help her hook up a

273
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 1>new TV she had bought. We ended up sleeping together

274
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>about ten times before she moved away to take a

275
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>new job at a different school. Story nine. My pe

276
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 1>teacher was a kind man, a Welsh rugby player by background.

277
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 1>He started teaching me football in year seven and continued

278
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.759
<v Speaker 1>to teach me some type of sport every year until

279
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I turned sixteen. We got along well and shared plenty

280
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.600
<v Speaker 1>of laughs and jokes over the years. I stayed on

281
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>for sixth form, but since I didn't take PE, I

282
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't have much to do with him after that. In

283
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.679
<v Speaker 1>my final year of sixth form, year thirteen, around two

284
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>thousand three or two thousand and four, I went to

285
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 1>the pub at lunch time with a friend. My old

286
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.639
<v Speaker 1>pe teacher was there playing pool with one of the

287
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>geography teachers. We ended up joining them, had a couple

288
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 1>of pints, and then headed back to school. After that,

289
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>we met up a few more times after school for drinks.

290
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>We did this a handful of times during that last year,

291
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and through those moments I came to realize he was

292
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.720
<v Speaker 1>going through a tough time. He was in the middle

293
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of a divorce and clearly quite unhappy. In the summer

294
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>just after I'd finished school, around July or August, before

295
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 1>I started university in September, I had been out day

296
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>drinking with some friends. We decided to meet up with

297
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.879
<v Speaker 1>a few others in town and ended up going into

298
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Weatherspoons and who should be there but my old pe teacher.

299
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>His decree measy had just come through and he was

300
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.399
<v Speaker 1>drowning his sorrows with some mates. I introduced myself using

301
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.440
<v Speaker 1>my first name, and he did the same. Neither of

302
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>us mentioned that I'd been one of his students. We

303
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 1>ended up going on a massive bender and eventually back

304
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.559
<v Speaker 1>to his place, where we slept together. It happened a

305
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.679
<v Speaker 1>few more times that summer. He was thirty six and

306
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I was nineteen. He was disgusted with himself, but honestly

307
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't care. Most summers when I came back from Uni,

308
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the same pattern repeated. That is until I met my

309
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>now husband when I was twenty one. When I was

310
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight, my boyfriend now husband and I moved back

311
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to our hometown. Since he didn't have many friends in

312
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the area, he joined a local sports social club to

313
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>meet people. Not long after, he told me he'd made

314
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a friend there, an older guy who, as it turned out,

315
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>used to be one of my teachers. They got on

316
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 1>really well, too, well, so well in fact, that my

317
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>husband's new mate, none other than my former pe teacher

318
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 1>and occasional summer bang buddy, ended up coming to our

319
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>wedding so well. Most Saturdays now my husband, him his

320
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>new wife, their kids, and I all meet up for

321
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>drinks and watch the football after the fixtures. All things considered,

322
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it turned out pretty okay in the end. Story ten.

323
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 1>I slept with my art history professor during my freshman

324
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 1>year in college. The class was mostly focused on ancient

325
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 1>Chinese and Japanese art, and I was struggling with all

326
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the information overloads. I asked her if I could do

327
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:04.519
<v Speaker 1>some extra credit work, and she invited me to her

328
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.839
<v Speaker 1>office later that day. We started talking more and more.

329
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.640
<v Speaker 1>She seemed to like my art, or thinking back now,

330
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe she was just flirting with me while she invited

331
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 1>me over to her house, saying she wanted to show

332
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>me some of her art. She was in her late

333
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.559
<v Speaker 1>forties and I was nineteen at the time. I didn't

334
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.640
<v Speaker 1>think much of it. When I arrived, she said she

335
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>needed to change quickly. After a minute or so, she

336
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>called me into the bedroom. Seeing her lying there in

337
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.319
<v Speaker 1>her inners, I suddenly thought back to all the time

338
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 1>we had spent together and realized I had completely misunderstood

339
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.799
<v Speaker 1>the situation. But honestly, I was happy to be wrong.

340
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Story eleven. I was a professor at a JC teaching

341
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.079
<v Speaker 1>a creative writing class. I was twenty seven and my

342
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 1>student was nineteen. It started at a going away happy

343
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>hour for another professor who was moving to a university.

344
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 1>We were drinking, and this young woman from one of

345
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.680
<v Speaker 1>my classes, who was very prit and whom I recognized

346
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.640
<v Speaker 1>for sure because of that fact, was there with her friends.

347
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 1>She came up to me and said she loved my

348
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.160
<v Speaker 1>class and challenged me to a game of pool. The

349
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>more she drank, the flirtier she got, and she mentioned pool,

350
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 1>and every time I'd sink a shot, she'd say, if

351
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 1>we were playing layers off pool, that'd be my shirt,

352
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 1>that one would be my skirt, that one was my inner,

353
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and so on. Obviously, around my colleagues I couldn't do

354
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>much in return. I assumed the next week during class

355
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>it would be awkward. But after class she came to

356
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.200
<v Speaker 1>office hours to talk about something, and then she said,

357
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the pool was so fun the other night. We should

358
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.039
<v Speaker 1>do that again. I told her, I don't think it

359
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 1>would be appropriate. She said, I totally get it and

360
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to screw up your job. How about when

361
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.319
<v Speaker 1>this quarter ends and I'm not your student anymore, we

362
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>play another game. I made a joke about her not

363
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.799
<v Speaker 1>taking the next level of creative writing, and she said,

364
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.279
<v Speaker 1>we can get creative in other ways. About six weeks later,

365
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>after the last day of class, she came in to

366
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>say goodbye and said that she loved the class, and

367
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I asked her out. We dated for about eight months.

368
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm still blown away that this girl, who was eight

369
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 1>years younger than me, was so good at the seduction game.

370
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Story twelve. My religious studies professor was hilarious and brilliant

371
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and always brought her interests up in class, and they

372
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.480
<v Speaker 1>usually aligned with mine. It started off with what felt

373
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 1>like on topic to class discussions, then into more friendly,

374
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 1>casual conversations about books and movies. Then it definitely transitioned

375
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 1>into flirting, which was weird because I'm also female and

376
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>had never had feelings for another girl, so I thought

377
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 1>it could just be some weird fantasy in my head

378
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and I was just making something out of nothing. Anyways,

379
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:46.039
<v Speaker 1>fast forward semester ends I'm out of her class. I

380
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 1>submit my final at noon. By one pm, she emails

381
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>me my final grade and says, I'm all done submitting

382
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.799
<v Speaker 1>your grades, so you're officially no longer my student. Congrats

383
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>on passing the class and good luck. So I sent

384
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>back an email with a song attached, and then the

385
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>emailing went on from there before we officially hung out,

386
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:08.279
<v Speaker 1>which led to us sleeping together, which led to a

387
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.839
<v Speaker 1>three year relationship. We moved in together for about a year,

388
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 1>but it ultimately didn't work out because we wanted different

389
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.279
<v Speaker 1>things long term. But we ended on good terms, and

390
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm grateful for the relationship now five years out, as

391
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 1>it helped me realize what I want in a partner.

392
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.119
<v Speaker 1>I now have an amazing boyfriend, and I heard she

393
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>recently got married to a woman she started dating after me.

394
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Story thirteen. There was a super hot teacher who was

395
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:35.119
<v Speaker 1>at our school, so he was only like twenty three

396
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>or twenty four maybe I was twenty, and it was

397
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:40.720
<v Speaker 1>at our graduation dinner when we had snuck a bottle

398
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>of Passion pop in, so we were pretty tipsy. I

399
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.799
<v Speaker 1>told him I always thought he was hot, and before

400
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.119
<v Speaker 1>I knew it, his hands were roaming all over me.

401
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.519
<v Speaker 1>We still had about three weeks to go before we

402
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 1>left school, so we spent the next week sleeping together

403
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 1>secretly and merely getting caught a bunch of times. It

404
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:58.880
<v Speaker 1>was pretty hot, to be honest, and I still think

405
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:03.200
<v Speaker 1>about him from time to time. Story fourteen. I was nineteen,

406
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>playing hockey and running track. A new track coach and

407
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.440
<v Speaker 1>substitute teacher joined the school. She was twenty two. I

408
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.599
<v Speaker 1>never had luck with the girls in school, so when

409
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:14.799
<v Speaker 1>we hit it off, I didn't think anything of it.

410
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>She'd tutor me in classes I wasn't doing too well in,

411
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.559
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes we'd go to concerts. After the track season ended,

412
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>she said she was leaving the school to go to

413
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.839
<v Speaker 1>one in the next town over, but wanted me to

414
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.480
<v Speaker 1>take private running lessons with her. We did that for

415
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 1>a while, and I started realizing what was going on,

416
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 1>so I started flirting and going after her. She flirted back,

417
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>but only so far because I was younger than her.

418
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:40.480
<v Speaker 1>A week before my birthday, she said she wanted to

419
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 1>take me out to dinner. So we went to dinner,

420
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 1>and afterwards she drove me back to where my car was,

421
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 1>and instead of letting me go, we got in the

422
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 1>back seat. Nothing happened that night because the cops stopped us.

423
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.039
<v Speaker 1>A month later, after not hearing from her, I reached

424
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 1>out and asked her out properly, to which she said yes.

425
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.480
<v Speaker 1>We did for four and a half years, and I

426
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.039
<v Speaker 1>had planned to propose to her when she got back

427
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>from med school in a different country, but she changed

428
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 1>when she was out there, ended up cheating on me,

429
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and is now engaged to the guys she cheated on

430
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>me with. We're still in contact, but she lives out

431
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 1>of state and there's nothing sexual at all. I still

432
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>miss that part of my life, and the relationships since

433
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.599
<v Speaker 1>then have been short and not lived up to that

434
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:29.160
<v Speaker 1>first one story. Fifteen, in college, I had a teacher

435
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 1>for my science class. To me, she was a complete

436
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.039
<v Speaker 1>ten out of ten, with wavy red hair and stunning

437
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>green eyes. I was instantly in love. Since it was

438
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the advanced class, we had a lot more independent projects

439
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.720
<v Speaker 1>than the normal class, we would spend a lot of

440
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>time in the library doing research for our projects with

441
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the teacher and teacher quietly supervising. I made it my

442
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.880
<v Speaker 1>goal to spend as much time near her as possible,

443
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>ask as many questions as I could, and if need

444
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 1>be played just so she would spend more time talking

445
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 1>with me. I turned on the charm as hard as

446
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I could, and before long we had a number of

447
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 1>inside jokes and I could make her laugh at the

448
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 1>drop of a hat. After a few weeks of this,

449
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>she confronted me about it. I thought I was being clever,

450
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>but I was too clever for my own good, and

451
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.599
<v Speaker 1>she knew that I was playing dumb to talk to her.

452
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>She asked me to stop, since I was hindering my

453
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 1>own growth by pretending to be dumb and wasting time

454
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.920
<v Speaker 1>in class for a relationship that would never happen. To

455
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 1>her credit, she let me down gently, saying she was

456
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>flattered and that I would make a girl very happy

457
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 1>some day, but it wasn't her and she had a boyfriend.

458
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:40.839
<v Speaker 1>The normal lines. Well, I was not deterred. I asked

459
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.240
<v Speaker 1>her if instead of being dumb, she would teach me

460
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 1>more advanced things if I completed my work ahead of time.

461
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>She sighed exasperated, but her personality wouldn't let her say

462
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>no to a student wanting to better themselves regardless of reason,

463
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and agreed. And that's the back story of how I

464
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>became a straight A student instead of just math and science.

465
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I pestered her to tutor me every chance I got.

466
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I completed week long projects in a day just to

467
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>spend more time with her, sometimes working through the night

468
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 1>to get things done as soon as I could. She

469
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 1>taught me not just math and science, but history and literature,

470
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.960
<v Speaker 1>which I had always been way underperforming at, and even

471
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.799
<v Speaker 1>gave me additional study materials to work on at home,

472
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>which I attacked with gusto. I got teased a lot

473
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 1>for being a nerd, but I didn't care. As long

474
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 1>as I was learning I could spend time with her.

475
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 1>By the time winter break rolled around, I was reading

476
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>at a high school level and was having her teach

477
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.400
<v Speaker 1>me differential calculus. I begged her to tutor me over break,

478
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 1>but she declined, saying she was spending break with her

479
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:42.119
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend's family. Break ended and I thought she'd be excited

480
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.799
<v Speaker 1>to see me, but on our first day back she

481
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 1>looked completely glum. I tried to cheer her up, but

482
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 1>she just seemed dead inside. She wouldn't tell me what

483
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. When the bell rang, I had to head

484
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.079
<v Speaker 1>to my next class. As I walked away, I looked

485
00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.640
<v Speaker 1>back and caught her glancing after after me. After school,

486
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I tried to track her down, and I finally found

487
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 1>her in the back of the library in a private

488
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>study room. She was bawling her eyes out and nearly

489
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.119
<v Speaker 1>jumped out of her skin when I knocked on the door.

490
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I went in and closed the door and sat next

491
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.079
<v Speaker 1>to her. All the while she just stared at me

492
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>with tears running down her face. I pat her on

493
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the back and said there there, and she threw her

494
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.319
<v Speaker 1>arms around me and started sobbing again. Over the next

495
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>few minutes, between choking sobs, she tells me that her

496
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend left her after they got back from their trip.

497
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Apparently he had told her that he wanted to break

498
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:35.799
<v Speaker 1>up for a while, but the chemistry in bed was

499
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 1>too good and he finally decided he had had his

500
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>fill of her. After going at it like rabbits for

501
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.200
<v Speaker 1>all of winter break. We ended up talking about relationships

502
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 1>and how boys are gross for well over an hour.

503
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Eventually I was able to make her laugh again, and

504
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>we sat and talked about some inconsequential things for a while.

505
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>She thanked me for talking with her and cheering her up.

506
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Eventually I had to leave so I I could get

507
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.440
<v Speaker 1>home before my parents did, so we gave each other

508
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.599
<v Speaker 1>one last hug goodbye, and she kissed me on the cheek.

509
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:09.759
<v Speaker 1>My whole body went numb and I couldn't let go

510
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of the hug. My arms were not working. We locked

511
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.400
<v Speaker 1>our eyes and she leaned in again and kissed me.

512
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>We ended up making out for probably close to two

513
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 1>minutes before her brain caught up with her emotions. She

514
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 1>broke away, face paling with shock, apologized profusely, said this

515
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>was a mistake and that we should never talk about

516
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:32.599
<v Speaker 1>this again, and dashed out of the room. She continued

517
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>to tutor me over the next few weeks, but always

518
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 1>made sure to sit across the table from me, whereas

519
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 1>before we would sit next to each other. She was

520
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>much flatter in her tone with me, and laughed at

521
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 1>my jokes and antics less. Towards the end of the year,

522
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the teachers took us over to the other part of

523
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 1>the college to give us a tour. I made sure

524
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I was in her group. The teachers helped us schedule

525
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.039
<v Speaker 1>our classes for the next year, and she told me

526
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.920
<v Speaker 1>how to schedule in order to avoid the garbage teachers

527
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:02.279
<v Speaker 1>based on reputation. When the school year ended, she gave

528
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:05.079
<v Speaker 1>me another hug, the first since our kiss, and I

529
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.039
<v Speaker 1>thought that was the last I would see of her.

530
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 1>I was heartbroken most of the summer. The next year

531
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 1>starts and I walk into third period science and my

532
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.400
<v Speaker 1>heart leaps into my throat. She was back. She flushes

533
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>beat red when she sees me and deliberately breaks eye contact.

534
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>She was back for another year of student teaching and

535
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.000
<v Speaker 1>had selected my science class to teach at. I tracked

536
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.599
<v Speaker 1>her down after school and confronted her about it. She

537
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:35.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't admit to anything, but I did get her to

538
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>agree to tutor me again after school, this time instead

539
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 1>of during class. One day, we were in a study

540
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:43.680
<v Speaker 1>room alone, and I brought up her being here for

541
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the millionth time. But this time it worked. She admits,

542
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:48.960
<v Speaker 1>she came back for me. She had her selection of

543
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 1>schools and partnered with the one she knew would let

544
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 1>her see me again. Within seconds of her finishing that sentence.

545
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>We were making out again, and that's how it continued

546
00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 1>for basically the rest of the year. We actually did

547
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:04.400
<v Speaker 1>study most of the time, but every day before I left,

548
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:07.039
<v Speaker 1>she would give me a kiss. We would spend some

549
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 1>sessions just making out. I won't lie. I tried to

550
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.279
<v Speaker 1>get more out of her, but she said that it

551
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:15.839
<v Speaker 1>was already too risky with her being a senior in

552
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.039
<v Speaker 1>college and me only being a junior. It helped that

553
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I started school late due to a childhood illness and

554
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>am a year older than everyone in my grade, and

555
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.799
<v Speaker 1>that she is the opposite and is young for her grade,

556
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 1>but that still left a multi year gap. This continued

557
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.319
<v Speaker 1>basically unchanged for the entire year. I was placed in

558
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:38.119
<v Speaker 1>advanced courses due to how much extra studying I was doing,

559
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.759
<v Speaker 1>while she would not be able to come back next year.

560
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.160
<v Speaker 1>She started offering private tutoring sessions, which my parents happily

561
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.759
<v Speaker 1>agreed to since I was doing so well academically with her.

562
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 1>The next year, up the ante and we explored each

563
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.559
<v Speaker 1>other's bodies more. I was tasting her pie once during

564
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:58.559
<v Speaker 1>a weekend study session at my house and my father

565
00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>almost walked in on us. I turned nineteen that June,

566
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 1>and since technically she wasn't my teacher or tutor during

567
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:08.319
<v Speaker 1>the summer, it was legal. I snuck out the night

568
00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 1>before my birthday and went to her apartment. We were

569
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 1>literally there, completely bare in position, waiting for the clock

570
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to strike midnight to make what we were about to

571
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>do legal. The clock struck midnight, and I was in

572
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I did not last long, and thankfully she didn't either.

573
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Something about two years of being on edge helped with

574
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.599
<v Speaker 1>the foreplay. I then went straight to senior since I

575
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.559
<v Speaker 1>had a lot done before others. She came back as

576
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>much as she could to be a substitute teacher. I

577
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.319
<v Speaker 1>don't know exactly how that worked, since she didn't have

578
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:42.119
<v Speaker 1>her license yet, but it was some partnership with the

579
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 1>college and my high school. Every time she taught, we

580
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 1>would bang in as many places as possible. We actually

581
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.519
<v Speaker 1>got caught in a closet once by one of my friends,

582
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>who wondered where I was sneaking off to. He just

583
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:56.799
<v Speaker 1>gave me the thumbs up and let us finish. We

584
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.440
<v Speaker 1>screwed our way through my senior year. Somehow a rumor

585
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 1>started about us, and we were both called down to

586
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 1>the administrator's office to have a talk. Luckily, they only

587
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 1>had rumors, so nothing happened, but we started hooking up

588
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:12.000
<v Speaker 1>at school less because of it. In my last year,

589
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:15.720
<v Speaker 1>we met entirely in secret, partly because she was no

590
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.759
<v Speaker 1>longer able to student teach at my school, and partly

591
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>because we had a plan. I ended up graduating and

592
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 1>going to the same college that she was attending for

593
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 1>her masters. In order to throw people off, we met

594
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>in secret for the first few months, and then ran

595
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 1>into each other at a party and made a big

596
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:33.799
<v Speaker 1>deal of how we hadn't seen each other in a

597
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 1>few years. A few weeks later, we announced we were

598
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.440
<v Speaker 1>officially dating. No one aside from my one friend, knows

599
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>about how long we were actually involved with each other,

600
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:46.319
<v Speaker 1>and we have been openly dating for three years now

601
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>with talks of marriage. So overall it worked out. I

602
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>need to stress that we got lucky. She is only

603
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.799
<v Speaker 1>four or five years older than me. I have always

604
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.319
<v Speaker 1>been mature for my age, or whatever crap parents say.

605
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.559
<v Speaker 1>We spent a very long time together getting to know

606
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 1>each other before we actually got intimate with each other.

607
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.759
<v Speaker 1>We held back on things until it was legal because

608
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:12.759
<v Speaker 1>we knew it was wrong legally. She never groomed me

609
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and never used her position of authority over me in

610
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:19.880
<v Speaker 1>an inappropriate way. Most importantly, we never got caught, which

611
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:22.279
<v Speaker 1>would have spelled the end for her career, and she

612
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.680
<v Speaker 1>likely would have ended up on the offender's registry. So

613
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.000
<v Speaker 1>much had to go right for it to work out

614
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:31.519
<v Speaker 1>for us. Our story is not typical and really shouldn't

615
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>be seen as a positive thing. Are we in love? Yes,

616
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>absolutely so in love. In fact, we have had long

617
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 1>sit down conversations to go over the origin of our relationship.

618
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.519
<v Speaker 1>We are so in love we have gone to couples

619
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.039
<v Speaker 1>counseling to make sure that we are truly experiencing feelings

620
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:51.839
<v Speaker 1>for each other and not just because of a shared trauma.

621
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 1>We continue to go to therapy together just as a

622
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>general routine in order to make sure we can be

623
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>open and honest with each other despite the scam story sixteen,

624
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker 1>when I was ten, I attended an after school program

625
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>while my parents were at work. That's where I met her.

626
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>As her student, I was the class clown and eventually

627
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 1>got kicked out of her class. She even requested to

628
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.680
<v Speaker 1>have me move to another class. At the time, I

629
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't think much of it and just moved on with life.

630
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Later in life, when I was twenty two, I met

631
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:26.680
<v Speaker 1>this gorgeous thirty one year old woman who had just

632
00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:29.559
<v Speaker 1>moved into my neighborhood. We hit it off quickly and

633
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:33.279
<v Speaker 1>started spending all day and night together. I practically moved

634
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.799
<v Speaker 1>in with her. One day, she told me about being

635
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a teacher and how she used to work at an

636
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.680
<v Speaker 1>after school program for a middle school down the road.

637
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I casually mentioned that I had actually attended that same program.

638
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.119
<v Speaker 1>The dots hadn't connected yet, but then she described a

639
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:50.480
<v Speaker 1>good friend of mine from back then and mentioned this

640
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>one little troublemaker she had to kick out of her

641
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.799
<v Speaker 1>class with a raised eyebrow. Everything suddenly clicked. I was

642
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.200
<v Speaker 1>that little jerk that she had to have removed from

643
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 1>her class all those years ago. Didn't stop us. I

644
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:07.119
<v Speaker 1>was hot for the teacher story. Seventeen, I slept with

645
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a teacher in college. I was nineteen and he was

646
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in his late twenties. He was attractive, I was attractive,

647
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:17.680
<v Speaker 1>so I suppose it just happened. I went to his

648
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:20.039
<v Speaker 1>place and we had one of the best nights I've

649
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.759
<v Speaker 1>ever experienced. He decided it should be a one time thing,

650
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 1>and I agreed. I never told anyone about it because

651
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it was consensual and no one else's business. Although I

652
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:34.440
<v Speaker 1>do remember having a conversation with him afterward, back at

653
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>college with other students around, he said something he had

654
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.440
<v Speaker 1>said when we were together at his place. I never

655
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:44.839
<v Speaker 1>blushed so hard in my life story eighteen. It started

656
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:48.759
<v Speaker 1>innocently enough. She was my chorus teacher, fresh out of

657
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>college and only six years older than me. My brother

658
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was actually dating her friend from high school. I used

659
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to cut class and say I had a music lesson

660
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.759
<v Speaker 1>and we just hang in the music room talk about

661
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:03.559
<v Speaker 1>book hooks, music movies. Then she started complaining about her

662
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.599
<v Speaker 1>relationship a lot, meeting hugs, which I was more than

663
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.760
<v Speaker 1>happy to help with. It eventually turned to making out,

664
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and we finally started banging. When she gave me rides

665
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 1>home after school, I honestly felt like I found a

666
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 1>million dollars but couldn't tell anybody about it. It was weird.

667
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Then she got weird, asking for her hugs in front

668
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:27.199
<v Speaker 1>of the entire class. I knew, everyone knew. I started

669
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:30.159
<v Speaker 1>riding home with my friends again. Then she started just

670
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.920
<v Speaker 1>showing up at my house. I had a very awkward

671
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:36.320
<v Speaker 1>conversation with my dad, who knew exactly what was going on,

672
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.639
<v Speaker 1>but was so impressed. He just kept saying, damn, she's pretty.

673
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Ghosting hadn't been invented back then, but I did the

674
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:47.079
<v Speaker 1>best I could. Eventually she chilled out. A few months later,

675
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I stopped by her room during our normal hanging time

676
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and she apologized, told me she was just going through

677
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:56.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot with her crappy boyfriend and needed some attention

678
00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.760
<v Speaker 1>from someone that actually liked her. We didn't talk much

679
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:03.119
<v Speaker 1>after that. I graduated soon after, but were friends on

680
00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Facebook and she actually married a decent guy and has

681
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a nice family. I'm very relieved we were never found out.

682
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 1>It would have been devastating to both of us. Story nineteen.

683
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.280
<v Speaker 1>My particular field has a mandatory internship period after graduating

684
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 1>from college and passing the national Board exams. During your internship,

685
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a preceptor in charge of guiding you and

686
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:29.599
<v Speaker 1>teaching you the things the books didn't like physical techniques

687
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:33.679
<v Speaker 1>and state specific laws. School taught the national curriculum, not

688
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:37.719
<v Speaker 1>the state specific laws. The preceptor is often a supervisor

689
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 1>or manager at the facility that gave you an internship,

690
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:43.159
<v Speaker 1>but could be anyone with a license in the field

691
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:47.920
<v Speaker 1>internships are extremely competitive and extremely hard to come by

692
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:51.039
<v Speaker 1>in my area, so I started out doing grunt work

693
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:55.079
<v Speaker 1>at a facility to eventually earn an internship. My preceptor

694
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.519
<v Speaker 1>was the supervisor of the firm and more than a

695
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:02.079
<v Speaker 1>decade my senior. During the internship, you understandably spend a

696
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of time together because the intern is not allowed

697
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:09.039
<v Speaker 1>to perform any job duties without supervision. So we had

698
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:12.119
<v Speaker 1>the same schedule, worked on the same projects, and ate

699
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.719
<v Speaker 1>lunch together every day. After about four months of this,

700
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>we both come back from holiday break and as we're

701
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:21.320
<v Speaker 1>catching up, we both say we have big news. His

702
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.679
<v Speaker 1>news turned out to be that he filed for divorce

703
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.280
<v Speaker 1>with his wife. He'd been wanting to for a long time,

704
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.760
<v Speaker 1>but talking with me about infidelity finally gave him the push.

705
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.280
<v Speaker 1>His ex wife had cheated on him twice and he

706
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:34.800
<v Speaker 1>had proof. My news was that I broke up with

707
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:38.320
<v Speaker 1>my long term boyfriend. I spent the holiday with my sister,

708
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 1>who saw I was miserable because my boyfriend wasn't respecting me,

709
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately she gave me the sister talk of what

710
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:47.599
<v Speaker 1>are you actually getting out of this relationship? We both

711
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:49.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of looked at each other and blushed and went

712
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.079
<v Speaker 1>back to eating lunch in a bit of awkward silence.

713
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.599
<v Speaker 1>It took another four months of awkward brushing up against

714
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:59.159
<v Speaker 1>each other while trying to work physical job, awkward radio

715
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.280
<v Speaker 1>songs coming up while working, Don't Stand So Close to

716
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Me by Sting and the Police Caught Up in You

717
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.159
<v Speaker 1>by thirty eight, Special Young Girl by Gary Puckett, and

718
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:10.559
<v Speaker 1>The Union Gap, just to name a few that all

719
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:13.679
<v Speaker 1>came on spontaneously on the radio while we were working

720
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:17.000
<v Speaker 1>together on more than one occasion, and veiled flirting before

721
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:20.320
<v Speaker 1>we finally went on a date together. He continued being

722
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:23.679
<v Speaker 1>my preceptor for the remaining four months of my internship

723
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and we dated in secret since he was my immediate

724
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.280
<v Speaker 1>superior and responsible for whether I got my license in

725
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.239
<v Speaker 1>the field. Then when I got my license, we both

726
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:36.440
<v Speaker 1>went public with the relationship, and shortly after moved to

727
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:39.719
<v Speaker 1>a different firm, where he was immediately promoted to management

728
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and I too was promoted to management. Within a year.

729
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Five years later, we're both still doing well with the

730
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:48.800
<v Speaker 1>new firm, married, own a house together, and our first

731
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:51.599
<v Speaker 1>baby is due in a month. So mine has a

732
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:55.880
<v Speaker 1>happy ending story. Twenty So I actually didn't know she

733
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.599
<v Speaker 1>was my teacher. She was maybe twenty three or twenty

734
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:02.320
<v Speaker 1>four and I had just nineteen. I was in California

735
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:06.800
<v Speaker 1>during summer vacation, went to Disneyland, California Adventure, all the

736
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 1>fun stuff. I met her while in line for the

737
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Winnie the Pooh ride. None of my friends wanted to

738
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:14.039
<v Speaker 1>go with me. We had fun, hit it off, and

739
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:17.360
<v Speaker 1>eventually went to her hotel room. Spent the weekend meeting

740
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:20.559
<v Speaker 1>up and hanging out, and then we parted ways. The

741
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:22.800
<v Speaker 1>first day of the new semester comes around and I

742
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.280
<v Speaker 1>see her in the classroom, and I'm excited. I didn't

743
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:26.960
<v Speaker 1>know she went to the school, and so I went

744
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in and sat down, and she went up to the

745
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.639
<v Speaker 1>front of the room and introduced herself to everyone. Then

746
00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:33.480
<v Speaker 1>we did the whole get to know each other thing

747
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and what we did over summer, and when it got

748
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.599
<v Speaker 1>to me, her face turned purple like she couldn't breathe

749
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:41.840
<v Speaker 1>after the initial shock in the first day, I stayed

750
00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 1>after for a few minutes, we cleared the air, laughed,

751
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:46.599
<v Speaker 1>and then the rest of the school year was fine.

752
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.599
<v Speaker 1>We slept together a couple of times after I graduated,

753
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:53.280
<v Speaker 1>but nothing while she was actually My teacher story twenty one.

754
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I dated my teacher six months after I graduated. He

755
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 1>was my junior year history teacher, and I had a

756
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>massive crush on him in class and he probably knew,

757
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:08.760
<v Speaker 1>but he never did anything inappropriate strictly a teacher student relationship.

758
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>He was twenty nine, got in trouble as a teacher

759
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>for going against the grain, had tattoos and a dad bot.

760
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I was super into it. Always thought he was really

761
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:22.480
<v Speaker 1>intelligent too, but looking back, I realized he had just

762
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.840
<v Speaker 1>had more time to form his own opinions about the world.

763
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>During my first semester in college, I took a chance

764
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:31.119
<v Speaker 1>and hit him up. We kind of hit it off

765
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and dated for six months, and three months in he

766
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:36.920
<v Speaker 1>told me that this was the longest relationship he'd had

767
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>since he was in high school. I lived with him

768
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:43.239
<v Speaker 1>briefly during summer break in college. One night, I went

769
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.119
<v Speaker 1>out with some friends and ended up getting s Dot aid.

770
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure he understood that it was SA because

771
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.039
<v Speaker 1>he pretty much broke up with me on the spot

772
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:53.320
<v Speaker 1>when he got home from work and I told him

773
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:56.239
<v Speaker 1>what happened. I packed my stuff and called my parents

774
00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:58.199
<v Speaker 1>to come pick me up because I didn't have a

775
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:03.320
<v Speaker 1>car yet. Story twe it was during college it got intimate,

776
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:06.960
<v Speaker 1>but I'd been his favorite since early on. He'd say

777
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:09.239
<v Speaker 1>it in front of the class, which at first made

778
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:12.320
<v Speaker 1>me feel weird, mostly because I didn't want anyone to

779
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.800
<v Speaker 1>hate me for it. He told me how smart I

780
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 1>was for my age, always called on me to share

781
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:20.519
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, and always put my assigned seat at the

782
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:23.599
<v Speaker 1>front or right next to his desk. By the beginning

783
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:26.159
<v Speaker 1>of tenth grade, I'd spent my lunch time hanging out

784
00:40:26.199 --> 00:40:28.679
<v Speaker 1>with him in his classroom, just the two of us,

785
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.000
<v Speaker 1>but he was mostly teaching me about politics or sports.

786
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:35.599
<v Speaker 1>In eleventh grade, I became his teacher assistant during my

787
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:38.320
<v Speaker 1>free period. It took a turn after one of his

788
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:41.039
<v Speaker 1>best friends got into a bad accident and ended up

789
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.280
<v Speaker 1>in the hospital. I brought him a coffee and a

790
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 1>cookie to cheer him up. It was completely innocent. He

791
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:49.320
<v Speaker 1>messaged me on Facebook later that day and we just

792
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:51.960
<v Speaker 1>kept talking from there. I had had a boyfriend at

793
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the time for over a year, but he was a

794
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:56.840
<v Speaker 1>terrible influence on me, and the teacher saw that, so

795
00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:59.360
<v Speaker 1>he told me I should break up with him. I did,

796
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and my tea teacher immediately started leaving hints. He was

797
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the first guy to call me beautiful. He made me

798
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:09.119
<v Speaker 1>feel like I was a beautiful, hot, smart young woman.

799
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:12.559
<v Speaker 1>I was nineteen at the time. No guy my age

800
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:16.119
<v Speaker 1>could compete with the experience of a thirty something grown man.

801
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Of course, I fell hard for his prepping and grooming.

802
00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:22.519
<v Speaker 1>My best friend at the time knew what was going on.

803
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I had sent her a screen shot once because he

804
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.280
<v Speaker 1>said something funny. When she and I got into a fight,

805
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:31.679
<v Speaker 1>she showed her mom and told her everything. Her mom

806
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>told the school. He was pulled out of class while

807
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I was in the classroom. Neither of us knew the

808
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.199
<v Speaker 1>sheriff was waiting in the principal's office when I got

809
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:43.119
<v Speaker 1>brought out. They accidentally opened the door and I saw

810
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:46.239
<v Speaker 1>the look of complete devastation on his face. I knew

811
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:48.800
<v Speaker 1>what was happening. I know now what he did to me,

812
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:51.440
<v Speaker 1>but at the time I thought that I had lost

813
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:54.679
<v Speaker 1>the love of my life. I blamed myself for sharing

814
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:58.119
<v Speaker 1>the relationship with my friend. I blamed myself after I

815
00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:01.119
<v Speaker 1>found out I wasn't the first student there were rumors

816
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of trouble about I was just the first one with

817
00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:06.760
<v Speaker 1>proof the screenshot. I eventually turned on him when I

818
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:08.880
<v Speaker 1>realized he was just going to get away with what

819
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.400
<v Speaker 1>he did, just like he did with all the other girls.

820
00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:14.840
<v Speaker 1>The case moved forward. It kept going for years, getting

821
00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:17.880
<v Speaker 1>put off. The attorney lost contact with me, and the

822
00:42:17.960 --> 00:42:21.440
<v Speaker 1>case was dismissed. I didn't know they lost my contact.

823
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I just thought it was still being deferred. He never

824
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:28.880
<v Speaker 1>went to jail. He was never charged with exploitation or abuse.

825
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.639
<v Speaker 1>What he did was a felony, and he should have

826
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:35.400
<v Speaker 1>become a registered offender. I have no idea what happened

827
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:39.320
<v Speaker 1>to him after story twenty three. I had a crush

828
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:41.199
<v Speaker 1>on one of my grad school teachers for a year

829
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and a half. I was into everything about her, looks, brain, everything.

830
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I ended up teaching the same subject many years later,

831
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and I still used the notes and materials from her

832
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:56.519
<v Speaker 1>classes with my own students. She was engaged to someone else,

833
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:59.679
<v Speaker 1>so I never even thought about anything ever happening. It

834
00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:02.920
<v Speaker 1>was an a nice fantasy. Then out of the blue,

835
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:05.559
<v Speaker 1>she calls my cell phone and tells me that she's

836
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.119
<v Speaker 1>thinking of getting into yoga and knows that I am

837
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:10.519
<v Speaker 1>into yoga. So would I get a drink with her

838
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:14.639
<v Speaker 1>and tell her more, I was not exactly experienced with hookups,

839
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and I actually took her at her word. I went

840
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:20.920
<v Speaker 1>expecting to talk about yoga and go home afterwards, but

841
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.920
<v Speaker 1>we ended up getting totally wasted making out in the

842
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:26.320
<v Speaker 1>middle of a bar, and then I walked her home,

843
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:30.159
<v Speaker 1>where I kept saying I'm sorry, and this definitely isn't happening,

844
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'll just get you to your door and go home.

845
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:35.519
<v Speaker 1>It did happen, but the joke was on her. She

846
00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:37.760
<v Speaker 1>got a few seconds of the worst sessh of her

847
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:39.760
<v Speaker 1>life and then got to listen to me in the

848
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:43.039
<v Speaker 1>bathroom for a while. The next day she found me

849
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:45.119
<v Speaker 1>in the hallway and told me that it was a

850
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:48.480
<v Speaker 1>huge mistake and asked me not to tell anyone. Nobody

851
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:51.840
<v Speaker 1>would believe me anyway, so I agreed. I can honestly

852
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.400
<v Speaker 1>say I wish the entire thing had never happened. She

853
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.159
<v Speaker 1>got married and moved on with her life. I ended

854
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:01.320
<v Speaker 1>up having to take her husband's class before I could graduate.

855
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Story twenty four. I guess I technically had an intimate

856
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.880
<v Speaker 1>relationship with a teacher. She was the lab ta for

857
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.559
<v Speaker 1>my invertebrate zoology lab and refused to do anything with

858
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:16.440
<v Speaker 1>me until after the class. After classes, we partied and

859
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:19.159
<v Speaker 1>hooked up quite a lot. After a year of us

860
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:24.519
<v Speaker 1>still being together, other tha as started dating undergrads. Seven

861
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:28.280
<v Speaker 1>years later, were married and have a kid together. Story

862
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:31.559
<v Speaker 1>twenty five. When I was nineteen, I had a fake

863
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:33.760
<v Speaker 1>ID and went out to a bar with a few

864
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:37.000
<v Speaker 1>older friends after a hockey game. We ended up meeting

865
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.440
<v Speaker 1>a group of girls and spent most of the night

866
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:41.840
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with them. I hit it off with one

867
00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of them, went back to her place and we hooked up.

868
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:47.679
<v Speaker 1>We exchanged numbers, and I headed out the next morning.

869
00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Fast forward to Monday, I'm back at school, walking into

870
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.760
<v Speaker 1>my first period class, and there she is, the girl

871
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:57.360
<v Speaker 1>from the weekend, standing at the front of the room

872
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:00.519
<v Speaker 1>as the supply teacher. Her face turned about as red

873
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:02.800
<v Speaker 1>as a fire truck, and I was strutting to my

874
00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:07.360
<v Speaker 1>seat like Vince McMahon making a grand entrance. Story twenty six.

875
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:10.679
<v Speaker 1>My story isn't about a teacher, but it's in the

876
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:13.480
<v Speaker 1>same vein as your question. I was sixteen when I

877
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:16.920
<v Speaker 1>met a girl who was nineteen. As we introduced ourselves,

878
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:20.559
<v Speaker 1>she told me she was a sophomore in college. I said, cool,

879
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm a sophomore too, conveniently leaving out the part where

880
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I was in high school. She assumed I was her age,

881
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't do anything to correct that assumption. We

882
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:32.840
<v Speaker 1>dated for a few months. When she called to tell

883
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:37.119
<v Speaker 1>me she was pregnant, my actual response was, I'm seventeen.

884
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:40.039
<v Speaker 1>My parents are going to be pissed. At the time,

885
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:42.800
<v Speaker 1>it never occurred to me just how upset she was

886
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:46.679
<v Speaker 1>about to get. But big surprise, we actually stayed together

887
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.000
<v Speaker 1>after I turned eighteen. We got married when I was twenty,

888
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:53.119
<v Speaker 1>and we've been together almost every day for the last

889
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty three years. We've often joked about who was the

890
00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:58.800
<v Speaker 1>prey and who was the predator, though I know I

891
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:01.920
<v Speaker 1>was never being prayed. What we've built is one of

892
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:05.519
<v Speaker 1>the most honest and loving relationships I've ever seen. Three

893
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:09.079
<v Speaker 1>kids and more than two decades together, and I wouldn't

894
00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:12.239
<v Speaker 1>trade her for anyone. She's my rock and my light.

895
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:15.239
<v Speaker 1>There are plenty of things I'd change if I could

896
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.719
<v Speaker 1>do it all over again, but only if it still

897
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:20.519
<v Speaker 1>meant I'd get to marry her once more. I hope

898
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:23.559
<v Speaker 1>my light hearted tone doesn't hide the truth. I was

899
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a lying idiot who somehow ended up exactly where I

900
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:30.000
<v Speaker 1>was meant to be, despite making almost every wrong decision

901
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:33.840
<v Speaker 1>along the way. Story twenty seven. When I was nineteen,

902
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I dated a professor from my university for a few months.

903
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't his student, but he taught some of my friends.

904
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:42.440
<v Speaker 1>We met randomly at a club, and I had no

905
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.159
<v Speaker 1>idea he was a professor there until a few days

906
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.280
<v Speaker 1>later when we started texting. He was really attractive, dark

907
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:52.599
<v Speaker 1>hair and bright blue eyes, and joked that his female

908
00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:56.119
<v Speaker 1>students often flirted with him during office hours. He was

909
00:46:56.199 --> 00:46:59.079
<v Speaker 1>thirty three, which made him pretty young for a professor,

910
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.199
<v Speaker 1>but quite a bit older than me at the time.

911
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:04.360
<v Speaker 1>It was fun for a while, though things got awkward

912
00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:06.880
<v Speaker 1>when we realized he actually taught some of my friends.

913
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.800
<v Speaker 1>He definitely wasn't happy about that. The day we realized

914
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:13.280
<v Speaker 1>he taught my friends was a couple of weeks after

915
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:15.920
<v Speaker 1>we met. When I was at his apartment, I asked

916
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:18.519
<v Speaker 1>to see some of his class materials, and he thought

917
00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:20.920
<v Speaker 1>it would be interesting if I could tell the difference

918
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.760
<v Speaker 1>between a terrible essay and a great one, even if

919
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't familiar with the subject, so I started reading.

920
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.719
<v Speaker 1>That's when I noticed the failing essay had my friend's

921
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:33.719
<v Speaker 1>name at the top. He got really upset, saying it

922
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:36.119
<v Speaker 1>was a privacy violation that I was looking at her

923
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.880
<v Speaker 1>failed assignment. But honestly, I thought it was kind of

924
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:41.800
<v Speaker 1>hot that he thought my friend's essay sucked. It really

925
00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:45.000
<v Speaker 1>played up his position of power in my mind. Story

926
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:49.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. So this wasn't while she was actively teaching me,

927
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.840
<v Speaker 1>but she was my teacher. Nonetheless, when I was in

928
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:55.559
<v Speaker 1>high school, we had the cliche fresh out of her

929
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:59.440
<v Speaker 1>master's smoking hot teacher. Most guys had a thing for her.

930
00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:02.960
<v Speaker 1>She knew it and laughed it off. Super professional about

931
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing, even down to leaving doors open when

932
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:08.840
<v Speaker 1>students hung out. I was a bit more awkward during

933
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:12.480
<v Speaker 1>those years. Then I went overseas for a while after graduating,

934
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:16.400
<v Speaker 1>gained some confidence, life experience, and all that. After I

935
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:20.039
<v Speaker 1>was done gallivanting across the world mostly drunk instead of

936
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:23.840
<v Speaker 1>going to university, I finally came back home. One of

937
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:26.440
<v Speaker 1>my first weekends back, I went to a local bar.

938
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I saw her there, smoking hot as ever. I went up,

939
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:33.320
<v Speaker 1>said hi and chatted her up. We hit it off

940
00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and went back to her place for a night of

941
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:38.199
<v Speaker 1>very fun stuff. The next morning, I made a comment

942
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:41.280
<v Speaker 1>about fulfilling a fantasy I had when I took her class.

943
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:43.559
<v Speaker 1>She kind of got this confused look on her face.

944
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Funny thing her class names. Really, nothing that would have

945
00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:52.199
<v Speaker 1>identified me as her student ever came up. Even when

946
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.679
<v Speaker 1>I gave my name, I looked different enough that she

947
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:57.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't make the connection. I just assumed she knew it.

948
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Turns out she wasn't into that, and sadly it never

949
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:05.159
<v Speaker 1>happened again. Makes for a funny story that nobody believes

950
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:09.119
<v Speaker 1>but always pretends to. Story twenty nine. I'm not a

951
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:11.639
<v Speaker 1>student anymore, but it happened in the nineties when I

952
00:49:11.719 --> 00:49:13.800
<v Speaker 1>was very young, and it went on for more than

953
00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a year. It started with making me sit on his

954
00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:19.679
<v Speaker 1>thighs often and I could feel his woody I never

955
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:21.880
<v Speaker 1>knew what to think of it, as I never got

956
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:25.679
<v Speaker 1>any training or attention from my parents about situations of essay,

957
00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:28.800
<v Speaker 1>it went on from there. After twenty two years of

958
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:33.000
<v Speaker 1>being a biologically straight guy, I still remember what that dirty,

959
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:36.920
<v Speaker 1>stinking dong felt like. The experience gave me depression and

960
00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:41.280
<v Speaker 1>anxiety and an inability to trust a relationship. I still

961
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:43.519
<v Speaker 1>freak out when I see a kid sitting on any

962
00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:46.239
<v Speaker 1>man's lap. I woke up after a night full of

963
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:49.719
<v Speaker 1>bad dreams, feeling sick in my stomach. It's important to

964
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:53.320
<v Speaker 1>protect and keep every child away from such negative forces

965
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:57.480
<v Speaker 1>because we remember. Also, no, he didn't get caught. I

966
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.280
<v Speaker 1>told people about it around four years ago, and they

967
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:03.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't act on it. I lost the heart to seek revenge,

968
00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:06.400
<v Speaker 1>but I've seen how the consequences of deeds work for

969
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:09.440
<v Speaker 1>some people. A couple of years ago, he got diagnosed

970
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:13.800
<v Speaker 1>with Giambarre syndrome. He's partially paralyzed and feels like his

971
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.320
<v Speaker 1>hands are constantly on fire. Knowing that did not feel

972
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:19.599
<v Speaker 1>as good as I thought it would. I feel the

973
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:23.440
<v Speaker 1>exposure and humiliation of his deeds would be a proper punishment.

974
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I try to make myself happy with hobbies. More often

975
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:30.440
<v Speaker 1>than not, it works. Thank you for watching. If you
