A female United States age 36-40, *ovemeright11 writes:

My issues is not about any guy, but relationship I have with a very good teacher of mine. My teacher has been inspiration in the search for goal because the job she had in her field is where I would like to be some day. We seemed to be pretty good friends and developed a nice relationship where I could go to her for anything and vice versa.

Here's where things changed. Probably about 6 months ago I asked her of I could talk to her about the application process for the kind of jobs I was applying for and I was worried about someof my past being an issues and while having this conversation I broke down crying and told her about me being Raped and how I was worried about something like that being questioned. Anyways after I told her that which is something I share with no one, she did not really talk to me much anymore.

She subbed for one of my classes and did not even talk to me once. I know It all could just be in my head, but I feel she is acting differently towards me after this. Should I worry about her being stand offish or do you guys think I am worrying too much? I just want to still be her friend and I don't want to bring up a bogus accusation if she just simply is to busy or something. Okay thanks in advance.

So_Very_Confused agony auntI'm not sure but it seems like she's uncomfortable... I know I do not know what I would say or do if I found out a friend had been raped even if it was years ago.

"I'm sorry" does not begin to touch the pain.... and "I understand" is a lie if you have not had to suffer yourself.

maybe she just does not know what to say so she says nothing....

Lovemeright11 agony auntShe is an ex forensic investigator so I also did not think anything I said would be something she could not handle. I also asked her before hand if she was okay with me talking about something personal and she said yes. I tried my best to approach it carefully. That's all I can say. Also no I don't have a crush, I just look up to her is all.
