I wanted to do the same with a middle school teacher. I contacted the school, who's representative tried without success to contact her. As for the professor who took advantage of you, I'm really sorry. I knew right away that a professor was "a bout to take advantage" of me and left! Easy decision.

Maybe I should find a copy and read it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCClient Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) My college reunion is coming up soon. Being closeted in fly-over country was pretty common. One guy has come out, but honestly, I don't know if traveling that far to see him or some of the other guys appeals to me. My best friend in the house will be there. It would be nice to see him again. Maybe the weirdest part of going back is a pretty heavy bromance mixed with some sexual play I had with one guy for two years. Even after college, we were dealing with it for a little while, though by then I no longer wanted anything down-low like we'd been in college. He'd hinted to me that he still did. Several years later I was offered a job on the west coast while he was getting ready for his 2nd marriage. I've been out here 20+ years with no contact. I really never knew what was going on inside his head and still don't, such as why he was in touch, encouraging me to attend. Perhaps he is just trying to remember the good times. Can't fault him for that. Edited June 4, 2022 by OCClient + Vegas_Millennial, KeepItReal and + Charlie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Topseed Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 My affection for my college alma mater isn't deep enough to warrant attending a reunion. The last high school reunion I attended was my 35th. (Yes, years ago.) Instead of the usual picture-sharing and 20 questions (i.e., what do you do, where do you live, etc.), I decided to ask people whom in the room had the most felonies. (I am not kidding about this.) Wouldn't everyone enjoy knowing that? 🙂 And....that experience satisfied my curiosity. Enough. + Vegas_Millennial and + Charlie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Thomas Wolfe has been on my brain all these years is beyond my understanding. Must have been on an unforgettable test. + Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Lucky Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 At my 25th high school reunion, I brought my now husband. No one commented one way or the other, but I definitely got a cold shoulder from some. One reunion was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
