Boyfriends dad was my teacher

Names changed in this story!

Ok, well we have been seein each other since mid june (just after the exams had finished and even though i was going around his house, he shared the same name and i knew what his mum looked like, i didnt realise who his dad was because his parents were always out when we were there together through the summer. His mum working and his dad obviously teaching as term hadnt finshed.

Well, 2 days ago i went around again. (we had stopped going back there since school term ended [22nd ish of july] because the house was always packed with members of his family) and who was there sitting at the table, my english teacher! aparently he didnt tell his folkes about me which im not bothered about because i didnt tell my parents untill about a week ago.

To be honest i dont know who was more speechless me or my teacher. He was like hi, how did your GCSE english go. I didnt get to catch up with you after the exam. Then tom was like, you were taught by my dad? and i was like i didnt know he was your dad!

Now everything feels really weird. His dad knows quite a bit about me as he has access to all my school records, he taught me for 2 years so he knows me and basically i have told him stuff. Im not too bothered about what his dad knows as in jeopodising our relationship because i have told tom everything anyway.

Since meeting his dad i havent really met up. we have text but avoided mentioning his dad.

I feel weird about the situation and when we found out, we kinda only stuck around for a drink then left.

Has anyone else dated a teachers son? I got on with this teacher and he told me to keep in touch but this is weird but im happy with tom.

I dont know what i want from this thread but is it normal to feel weird. Im going to talk to tom to see how he feels but its really bugging me now. All i think about is his dad (not that i fancy him) my head just feels so messed up at the moment.

what's the problem? there's no reason to feel weird, you're dating your boyfriend, not his dad! teachers can be cool out of school anyway!

Well he was cool in school it is just really weird. I think its beeing in his house, touching his things and for him, having a pupil in his house i dont think tom cares though. i just have this weird feeling that when i next go over, i will feel much less relaxed and consious of the fact im in my english teachers house. Do you think this could ruine a relationship

No extra tuition. Im starting english in september and not doing english which is another thing i never thought about. I told him i was because that was the plan but i have now changed my mind.

Do you seriously think it wont be weird again going there?

Im really mixed up at the mo. I seem to have this weird feeling that him and his dad are talking about me as if they have found something in common.

you'll get used to it, although I can imagine it being a bit weird, he's not your teacher any more though so remember that!

You know what you all have realy convinced me to relax a bit. i think i might call tom and have a chat. Something i have been aoiding for about 2 days. lol. thanks everyone.
The only question left is to see who to give rep to

Look, as long as you were a good pupil then there should be no problems at all. If anything his dad will be happy that his son is seeing such a nice lass. If you were a wee terror who was constantly skiving out of school, being a troublemaker and failing your exams then there'd be a problem but if you're a good pupil I think his dad would be more happy than you'd think.

Sorry, come again?

With regards to your situation, no I don't think its weird at all. Unless you make it in your mind.

Oh that line was meant to be im starting college
My mates bf mum (jesus thats confusing lol) was a deputy at our school and she was a bitch!! Infact my mate hated her and they were always having ''meetings''. Fast forward a year and she was dating his son!!! I'll never forget getting the text:

''OMG i just saw some photo's of his mum and its Miss _____ from our old school'' LMMFAO

But my mate stuck in there and bit the bullet. Because, lets be honest, you're dating him not the parent! I don't think there was ANY comments about school because, I guess, the mum realised she had grown up & there was no place to mention her past.

I wouldn't worry about it, he sure doesn't sound to bothered that you are dating his son.

Christ, if I was a teacher and my son was dating a prefect and year 7 mentor then I'd be chuffed he'd picked such a nice lass and wasn't seeing one of the dodgy slags who smoke in the toilets. :biggrin:

lol thanks! ... how do you know im not a slag who amokes in the toilets??? (im not BTW)

Na its all good. I went to see him this morning hes ok with it. talks like we always did. Tom aint bothered either. (i was a bit of a swot in his class... you know top of the class and all and i think i was the only pupil who liked him from my class. we were a bottam english group and my class was a bit mean to him. even though some of my best friends were in the class i liked him even if they didnt and tried to make his life hell)

Anyhooo.... its all good. Dont know what i was worrying abouy. HE seems more friendly now though as if he doesnt have to worry about student/teacher boundaries. He can say what he likes now and be as friendly as he likes.... wich i think he is taking advantage of.

I'm curious...what sorta stuff did you tell your teacher?
I am dating my chemistry teachers son. At the beginning it was kind of awkward but then things calmed down. The thing is I want to break up with him and I don't know how. It's gonna be really uncomfortable in class with his dad...
