[quote=Anonymous]Everyone here refers to him as "her professor" yet the OP explicitly said he is NOT her professor so lets get that clear from the starting gate.

OP I have a scenario for you- take the fact that he is a professor at her law school out of the equation, just a 45 year old man. Would it still bother you as much? Is it the age more than anything? Or the fact that he happens to be employed where she is in law school?

I ask because I was in grad school 5 years ago. Met someone (a professor) who was incredibly sexy and charismatic and we hit it off. We both were avid runners and into hiking and this common interest sparked an incredibly passionate relationship. I felt funny and we were discreet but there was no denying the physical attraction and connection, it was unstoppable. This went on for about 1 year off and on, until he announced he was leaving as he had gotten a big job offer at a prominent west coast university.He begged me to transfer but that was not an option for many reasons.  I have to tell you I was devastated but life went on. He got married last year.I have no regrets.

My parents were upset at first but for them it was the age thing more than anything, however they got to know him and grew to like him very much. I really do think had he stayed here this could have been something but it was not meant to be and I am engaged to an even more incredible man so it all worked out.

Try to support her and her choice. If she gets hurt or wants to move on, ultimately its going to be a life lesson she decided to risk having. Just my two cents.[/quote]
