Crushes that don't go away?

Tagged as: Crushes, Forbidden love, Troubled relationships<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (4 January 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 5 January 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I graduated from high school a few years ago. But the crush I've had on my ex-high school-teacher since junior year hasn't gone away.

Is this something I should be concerned with? If so, how do I handle this? I'm slightly worried, I'm turning 22 in a few months, should I have outgrown this?

background info:

- The last time we talked was nearly a year ago during a routine hs visit. Other than those visits, we don't talk.

- Yes I found a guy my age, I'm actually engaged to my boyfriend of 6 years

- No, I don't have daddy issues. He's actually my best friend.

SleeplessJealousy09 agony auntI think you need to ask yourself who would you rather be with? If you do break it off with your boyfriend, is this teacher even an option? Has he ever indicated that he has had feelings for you? Is he married? Does he have kids?

I think the best person for you - for all of us, is the one who has made you the happiest you've ever been. I think you should tell this teacher how you feel. BUT IT'S YOUR CHOICE. I'm just voicing my opinion. Think it over.

If you love your boyfriend, want to marry him, and don't want to be with anybody else, don't tell your teacher. It would seem rather pointless. But again, it's your choice.

Good luck!

aunt honesty agony auntIf you are engaged well then you should not be thinking about another guy, if you are then yes there is something wrong!!! If you are not fulfilled try and think what it is that takes you back to your teacher. There was obviously something lacking in your life around that time, so look back and try and think then once you solve it try and get on with your life, if you cannot then the man you are with is not your true love and you should call of the engagement and explore other options.
