Hello everyone not long ago I made a thread asking for advice about a strange relationship issue that I needed to sort with my girlfriend, the advice I got was brilliant and the situation went amazingly. With that in mind seen as I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this I could use a little more advice so here goes.
Currently my girlfriend is a teaching assistant she works with the younger years, children aged around 6-10 for the most part, I’m very proud of her she’s very good at her job and very dedicated to it.
Recently she received a job offer from a secondary school, for a much higher salary than her current one, so it’s a no brainer really, same working hours but for much more money.
The problem doesn’t come from her end, it’s me. Since it’s a secondary school the minimum age will be 11, all the way up to 16 years old. No big deal to some people right but my girlfriend is only 21. Teenage boys with raging hormones will be constantly making comments about her in a sexual manner, I remember the days at school, one lad even touched a teacher back when I was at school, he was expelled but a lot of kids have no fear.
So I think my worry and panic is clear. I also realise how I need to get a grip though. She’s my girlfriend we are hugely close and we are in love. She’s just doing her job and can’t control the actions of pupils. I don’t want to become a controlling, possessive boyfriend who is annoyed because his girlfriend took a job he doesn’t like. I wanted to know if anyone has any advice on how I can keep my head together, deal with this and not let it be an issue, I don’t really want to bring it up to her because it’s a very controlling way to act I can see that.
