g_bassi13 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 That's only if something inappropriate occurred when she was still his student. Eg. If you dated your hot teacher 5 years after the fact, anything wrong then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well, divorces are fine. I guess we just don't know exactly how the marriage ended. By the sound of it (article perhaps biased for omitting certain info), it sounds like he just got up and left one day. Of course, if the marriage was on the rocks and it was just a matter of time before it ended, that's perfectly fine since it's mutual. But for not taking consideration of the fact that he has a kid too, that's despicable. He should have waited until his daughter graduated or something, since she goes to the same school too.... and she'll be a very popular person now....

FeStealth Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Staying Married For Kids May Do More Harm Than Good Battling parents who stay together for the sake of the children may be doing their kids more harm than good. That is the finding from a Canadian study, which was one of the first to measure the mental health of children both before and after divorce. Children living in very dysfunctional families actually exhibited higher levels of antisocial behavior before their parents divorced than afterwards. The more dysfunctional the family was prior to divorce, the greater the children’s behavioral improvement following the event. Kids whose parents eventually divorced also displayed higher levels of anxiety and depression before the breakup, compared with children whose parents did not divorce. Researcher Lisa Strohschein, PhD, tells WebMD that the presumption that divorce is always bad ignores the negative impact of living in an unhappy, conflicted family. “Perhaps we should pay more attention to what happens to kids in the period leading up to parental divorce rather than directing all our efforts to helping children after the event occurs,” she says. How to Help Children Cope With Divorce Dysfunction, Depression, and Divorce In Canada, roughly half of all marriages end in divorce. Roughly 20 million American children live with only one parent, according to government figures. Most previous studies examining the impact of divorce on children’s mental health have compared children of divorce to those who live with both biological parents. But few have looked at the family situation before divorce as it related to children’s mental health. Using data from an ongoing child health registry in Canada, Strohschein followed roughly 2,900 children for four years. The children were on average about 5.5 years old, and were living in a household with both biological parents when they entered the study. The divorces occurred between 1994 and 1998. Divorce 'Coping Skills' Long-Lasting Mental Health Problems Before Divorce Strohschein found that mental health differences between children whose parents broke up and children whose parents remained married existed long before the divorce took place. Compared with parents who remained married, parents who divorced tended to be younger during the initial interview and they reported higher levels of family dysfunction, depression, and, not surprisingly, lower levels of marital satisfaction. Children who lived in highly dysfunctional families exhibited more antisocial behavior, such as lying, cheating, and bullying. There was a significant decline in these behaviors following divorce. The study is published in the December issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family. “When kids are living in a noxious family environment where tensions are really high, the removal of one parent can relieve the stress,” Strohschein says. Kids from unhappy, dysfunctional families also had more depression than other children both prior to and after their parents’ divorce. Joint Custody Best for Most Children ‘Not Just Conflict’ Divorce researcher and psychologist Judith Primavera, PhD, says it is clear that children often fare better emotionally when embattled parents divorce. Primavera is a psychology professor at Fairfield University in Connecticut. “It is inescapably harmful to grow up in a highly dysfunctional, two-parent home, particularly one where there is any type of domestic violence going on,” she tells WebMD. She adds that parents who do not fight, but, instead deal with unhappy marriages by having little to do with each other may also cause emotional harm to their children. “It isn’t just conflict,” she says. "If mom and dad lead separate lives and the children see that there is no connection, staying married probably isn’t doing them any favors, either. Children learn about relationships by watching their parents.” Post-Divorce Move Can Be Bad For Kids By Salynn Boyles, reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD Read more: http://www.foxnews.c...l#ixzz1p32zMhfV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well.... as I said, I don't know the detail of their marriage. The way it's been portrayed, it's seems like everything was just fine and dandy and then suddenly this bombshell dropped. Obviously if a marriage is dysfunctional, it's better to split. But since the husband has things under-wrapped for a while, he could have just waited a couple of more years until the daughter grads. At least he could have just only divorced first.... secretly date the other women, and then once her daughter grads, then officially hookup with his ex-student. I know the guy may have found his new true love... but it doesn't mean he should just cast away the daughter he supposedly love like an inconvenience.

Believe-in-blue23 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 It is a little much, considering that he's her teacher, and the considerable age difference. Teachers shouldn't date students, at least that's what we're told to believe. That's not what I have a problem with though, what makes me angry is to know that he left his wife and children to be with a girl he knew for a short while compared to his wife. I know that if you're stuck in an unhappy marriage, separating might be the best solution, but the fact that there was children involved and leaving your partner for someone you only known for a year or two compared to someone you've been together with for many years. I think the mother is being over the top. I know she's concerned about her daughter, but the fact that she's judging and stigmatizing the man based purely on the student-teacher relationship, and the age difference is what I find annoying. She's trying to destroy her daughter's happiness. Starting a Facebook page to say the man is a pervert and taking advantage of her daughter when she knows nothing about their realtionship? I don't agree with this at all. Be happy for your child! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManUtd Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I would not be remotely surprised if the daughter is not impressed he's dating someone so close to her own age. My father often dates women my age or usually younger. It creeps me out and is one of the many reasons I do not speak to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
