My son has a new teacher. My husband arranged for him last month after his previous teacher resigned due to marriage and relocation.
I honestly do not know what is wrong with me, but I have developed strong feelings for this man. Everything about him stands out to me—the way he looks, speaks, and teaches. I find myself constantly thinking about him and rushing home just to see him before he leaves.
I took his number and sent him a message, telling him I had a crush on him and suggesting we hang out sometime. His response shocked and humbled me. He told me clearly that I am a married woman and that he could not go out with me unless my husband was involved.
Since then, I have felt deeply ashamed. I now avoid direct interaction with him, even though hearing his voice or being around him only makes the feelings stronger. He continues to behave normally, as if nothing happened, which makes it even harder for me.
I am torn between wanting to move on and feeling tempted to try again, but I am afraid he might tell my husband if I do anything further.
I am confused and overwhelmed.
