writes:My wife and I are both asking this. My wife is a teacher and in the same district for 3 years now. This past year they hired a new teacher. He is male and about 3 or 4 years younger than us.He is having a real bad time teaching this year. My wife and him have taken to talking at lunch time and he is going through a divorce, his wife lives many states away, he moved here to get a new job and start over. He has been written up several times by the principal, and he has confided in my wife that he thinks he is losing it. He does have a bad class, the lowest ranked of that grade, but my wife says he admitted to doing things like just walking out of the classroom for 1/2 hour at a time and banging his head off the wall in the mens room.He wants to confide and talk through his problems more with my wife as a fellow teacher, but when they talk in the teachers lounge at lunch, there are always at least 10 other teachers in there. He asked my wife to go out after work for dinner and to talk so he can seek her advice.My wife and I both feel that mixed company socialization is fine when its a group, but one on one is nothing we ever talked about. What do you all think? Should she go out with him and see if him talking it out will help him?

 Why don't they meet at your house? You don't have to sit by their side and listen but she can certainly offer her support that way. If he declines her offer then he is not really that interested in her thoughts. If her opinion is that valuable, he take her up on the offer.
These situations can be nothing or under the worst scenarios, lead to trouble. If your wife was not solid in her relationship with you, this could lead to temptation. You see it all the time on this site. People usually begin by saying they didn't see it coming or they never intended to do whatever.....
