It should be clear that there was never EVER any sexual activity of any kind during my time as his student.
I did always have a crush on him in high school; but he was the kind of teacher almost every female had a crush on too. I’ve always seen him as an older male version of myself. We’ve always gotten along and had a very close yet appropriate student-teacher relationship. I am fully aware of what grooming is and I fully understand that this was not it. I graduated at 18. We kept in touch since graduation and would periodically hang out as friends (go to art museums, smoke, get tacos, etc.). It’s important to note that I have babysat for the two children he has with his wife. I am quite close to him and his wife and his kids. We are both in open relationships/marriages.
My birthday was about a month ago, and we haven’t seen each other since I babysat for him i’m November. He invited me over to have a drink with him at the makeshift bar he set up for me since I can’t go out at 21 due to the pandemic.
