Posted by Dawn on 6/15/2006, 12:02 am Well, the school year ended today, and for those of you who didn't read my post, my H will not be returning next year for various reasons. Their three year "friendship" ended months ago, and it will be comforting to know that next year they can't cross paths in the hallways, visit during planning, or call each other on the classroom phone. But I will miss him terribly. We had it made being at the same job and were loved by the faculty as a couple. We did a lot for the school together and those who knew nothing about the EA would see us and say all the time, "You guys are such a great couple. Just look at you." We were treated as if we were one person sometimes too. At the same time that I feel awful for him being asked to resign, I feel that he is to blame for his departure. He tolerated a lot of crap from his students who were at risk mostly. He did not fit those types of kids. But I know how hard he worked to plan lessons, buy supplies, etc. However, he didn't play his cards right in the classroom, lacked enthusiasm and self advocacy, and spent time with her at work on too many occasions when he should have been teaching/planning, etc. He'll say it wasn't everyday, but... I thought I had forgiven him, but now things have stirred up again as far as forgivness goes. He wants to write about the EA for a freelance writing class he's taking. First he has an interview, with me of course, and then part two is to write a feature article. I have copies of emails that were exchanged between them that I've kept that he thought I threw away. Revisiting them last night was killer. I only pulled them out again to see one, could I handle talking about this all over again, and two, a lot of time has gone by so I thought, hey-you can read these and know that it shouldn't matter anymore. I'm trying to see the article as a form of closure. He's a writer, not always a talker. Could this be a way to the end of this mess? Thoughts??
A hello to everyone. About a month ago I posted my frustration with my husband who had an emotional affair with another teacher at my school. (The three of us teach at the same school). All of you are so amazing giving advice. Thank you. It really has helped. I'm trying to read and post more for all of you too. I sometimes just don't what to say that hasn't been said. But I know anything helps.
