Today, the father of one of my music students asked me out to dinner via my work e-mail. I thought it was kind of sweet, albeit a little strange, until I got his daughter's instrument rental check, with both his and his wife's name printed on it. FML

OP here. While I definitely wouldn't have accepted, as it might make things weird for my student (who is only 11 btw for whoever thought I should ask her if her parents are together), he is definitely still married, as I asked him. According to him, they are separated, which I'm sure is not fun, but I live in a small town and I'm sure I would be fired were I to date a married person. I explained that to him and he suggested going on a date out of town to "protect" me and all the red flags went up. Next parent teacher conferences are probably going to be a little weird.

Checks last forever these days! Could easily be an ex-wife or soon-to-be ex wife. My checks still have the address of my apartment from 3 apartments ago. If the account number is the same, might as well use them up!

Maybe they want a threesome?

Wait why would you be fired for dating a married man? That's YOUR private business isn't it? I mean it probably isn't that great when he's still with his wife but he clearly stated he isn't. So where exactly is the problem? And him suggesting to date out of town to protect him is a red flag? Why? You explained to him the problems you see and he tried to make a suggestion on how to avoid those problems. How is that a red flag when he first was willing to date you in town? That's really weird in my eyes, sorry.

The only thing I can understand is if OP works as like a wedding celebrant or marriage counsellor or smth lol

Why would that matter either? (As long as you're not counselling the guy you are dating together with his wife) Even if you're a wedding celebrant it's your own private business who you date.

You shouldn’t dress sexy at school or around kids you teach

????? Where did it say how she was dressed at all? She could just be an attractive lady, or he could just be attracted to her? And even if he was attracted to the way she was dressed, that doesn't automatically mean it was provocative in some way... asking for it mentality isn't cool. Yeesh.

You should definitely go to one of those "what I was wearing when I was assaulted" exhibitions.

Being separated does not generally cause issues as it usually ends up in divorce or they are in the middle of divorce proceedings
