[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I know a lot of professors who have cheated with students or other professors but I wouldn't say it's a majority or anything. [/quote]

Frankly, this has been my experience as well.  (Not married to a prof, just friends with several - and their gossip (sometimes about their own exploits) is astounding!)[/quote]

This is total BS unless your friends are either really old or teach only graduate students. There is no way in this day and age with the threat of parental lawsuits would a professor keep his job if he slept with an undergraduate or a graduate student in his class (if the grad student is in another department, however, dating is fair game). Universities are far too worried about bad media and a pricey lawsuit to keep even a tenured professor who sleeps with an undergrad.

Regardless, to add another dimension to this discussion, being married to a female professor is pretty sweet. Good, secure job with excellent hours. She has great benefits, and seems happy for the most part. Some travel, but not a ton. Good stories about teaching and fun colleagues. She does not have summers off, but usually writes and sometimes teaches summer school. She has more flexibility during the summer than during the school year. On the downside, if she hasn't been able to get a tenured post in DC, there aren't a ton of options for her career-wise.[/quote]
