Teacher here ...and exp with unfulfilling marriage of 20 years. I too had the emotional affairs during my marriage, which my husband, at the time, became aware of. We too stayed together for our daughter. Then...after the divorce, a much younger man very aggressively elicited my attentions. Having been deprived of emotional/sexual connection my entire adult married life, I was very vulnerable to this highly sexual younger man. In the end, it was disastrous, and could very well have resulted in the end of my employment. I was stupid. I was stalked by this young man, who broke into my house with a gun, trying to shoot me, ending in a police SWAT stand-off. I'm not saying this will happen to you, but there can be devastating consequences to such affairs. Please be mindful and careful.
