"My First Year Son Fell In Love With A Teacher!" Big Age Difference - Relationships, Society

My first year son fell in love with his teacher. He calls her a goddess, the best, the most beautiful, and so on. They have a big age difference. The son does not communicate with his peers. He says that he is not interesting with them and no one can compare with the one he loves! I tried to convince my son that he cannot be with a 36-year-old woman who was married and has a son. But Volodya doesn't want to listen to anything. He never spoke of anyone with such inspiration. She smiled at him, looked in his direction - the son is happy. Once he told me that during a lecture he was ready to stand up and shout to the whole audience that he loved her. And so for several months.

Dear Evgenia!

As you rightly noted, your son "fell in love with his teacher", not "in love." This is precisely love. Often a similar feeling arises when young people fall in love with pop and movie stars. Such feelings do not last long and are almost always unrequited.

There is such a law of psychology: when a young man or girl is looking for a companion or life partner, they see them as a father or mother. Perhaps Vladimir sees your features in his teacher. Maybe your son is missing your attention. Try to talk about different topics, not just about his teacher. But still advise him to put himself in her place. Explain that if a young man confesses his love to his teacher in front of the entire audience, as he said, it will create many problems for her and put her in a very unpleasant position. Most likely, your son's crush will soon pass.
