Today, I came home to find my dad crying. Turns out my parents are getting divorced because my mom had an affair. With a teacher at my school. A female teacher. And the school isn't going to fire her because she's a good teacher. Every day at school I'm going to have to see her. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Why should the school board fire her? It's the teacher's private life and she's not having an affair with one of the students, so why should it be a problem at school? It's gonna be awkward for you and I understand that you must be really upset about it, but you not liking her shouldn't be a reason for her to lose her job.

Walk into class and yell at him and make a huge scene so that they have to fire him because he is a problem. Do this every day until he is gone

I clicked both, as I really don't understand why the teacher would be fired (because she's a lesbian? Because she had an affair? What?) but at the same time; having your parents split always sucks.

I think because the teacher had sex with a student's mom... Some sort of legal issue maybe, maybe not. Idk.

Well...FYL, but I think your suggestion that the school should even consider firing her is uncalled for. What teachers do with their personal lives is none of the school's business.

why would the teacher get fired at all for that..?

When you're sitting there in class listening to your teacher, you'll be imagining that mouth going to town in your mom's lady business. Good luck getting some work done.

That's ****** up. Well, I say this is an excuse to be a bit of bitch to her in class, don't you think? "You have detention!" "You tore apart my family." Think about it. Anyway, FYL. Seriously.

They can't fire the teacher because it was a relationship between two consenting adults. That sucks a lot, but legally, there's nothing the school can do. My advice: guilt trip. Go all out. If you have to see this teacher every day, make her feel like the despicable home-wrecker she is. Let her know without a doubt that she has single-handedly ruined your life and has no hope of ever redeeming herself (whether this is true or not is irrelevant). Milk it for all it's worth, and with any luck she'll still feel bad about it long after you've moved on with your life.

Seriously? It sucks a lot that the OP's mother can finally be with someone she's actually attracted to? It sucks a lot that the OP's dad doesn't have to lie in bed every night next to a woman who isn't attracted to him anymore? It sucks a lot that the rights of the teacher to have a consensual, adult relationship without risking her job are protected by law? Yeah, that sounds like a terrible situation. Seriously, what the OP's going through can't be easy, but if her parents' marriage was based on that big a lie, it wasn't ever destined for a happy ending. Now, they can both have better sex and happier commitments. Honestly, the OP would have had to see her mom's partner a lot anyway, if she still intended to be part of her mom's life, so this really isn't that bad. The OP will get used to everything eventually, and will maybe even understand someday.

Why are people calling the teacher a home wrecker? The mother made the decision to have a relationship with someone while she was married, and made the decision to leave that marriage. I don't think it's wrong at all for someone to fall out of love and leave their marriage, but if anyone is at fault, it is the mother and certainly not the teacher. I get it's probably going to be awkward for the OP if the kids in her school find out, but if her mother and teacher are discreet, there's no reason they should. For people saying get the teacher fired or try to guilt trip her; grow up.

The teacher decided to have an affair with the MOTHER of someone she sees EVERY. DAY. That's a bit cold, don't you think? She didn't think about what her actions would do to someone she's supposed to teach. How can anyone learn from someone that did, in fact, wreck her home? Guilt tripping her is the least she should do.

The teacher didn't have an affair. The mother decided to have an affair with someone her daughter saw every day. And I'm not really sure how her mother falling in love with someone else effects her. Are you telling her she should hate her mother's new partner? What good would that do anyone? You sound very vindictive and immature. I suggest you grow up if you ever want anyone to take you seriously.

Oh yes, insult my maturity. The fact is that the teacher chose to have the affair. The mother didn't do it alone. She didn't consider this girl's feelings at all. She did something that she knew would hurt her.

Why does everyone think that if it weren't for this teacher, the OP's parents would have stayed together and been happy? If a gay woman is married to a straight man, they're never going to be completely happy together, and it probably would have ended some other way. Moreover, I don't really understand why you think the teacher should have considered the OP's feelings in all this. Both the mom and the dad are better off, which means the OP is probably also better off. Dysfunctional marriages aren't good for children. Yeah, the OP doesn't like it, but she'll get used to it. This stuff is part of life.

The teacher didn't have an affair at all as far as we know 158. She had relations with a woman, and we don't even know if she knew it was the mother of one of her students. It's the mother's responsibility to think about her daughters feelings, and tbh, I don't really think it's much of the daughters business who her parents want to be with, so long as they aren't abusive in anyway towards her.

You can't fire someone because your mom is a *****.
