Hi Ladies,
See, I told you I wouldn't leave! Well, today I had a thought and have no idea where to go with it, but here, so here I am.
There is a girl/lady/female (we are all girls imo) that is a teacher at the language school I am in. She has substituted a couple of times in our class when our teacher had to leave early..
Today I see her walking down the street hand in hand with what has to be her girlfriend, there's just no doubt about it.
I don't know this teacher-girl, except for the times she has been in our class and in the halls, so I just smiled, she smiled back and we continued on our ways.
My thought/question comes here.. I wonder how she feels about me seeing her with her girlfriend when it is something that she obviously hasn't said to us students. (Not that we discuss our sexuality in language school. LOL)
But, how would you or do you feel when you see someone you know and they get to see into a part of your life that you haven't shared with them?
Do I make any sense?
Thanks for your reading this.
One very curious cat,

Hey Heather!
So glad you came back to chat with us! You asked a really good question.
My thought is that if she's holding hands with her g/f out in public, then she's probably very comfortable with who she is and it doesn't bother her when others see her w/ her g/f.
Caly and I don't hold hands in public, but occasionally we will share a quick kiss in the car at a traffic light or something like that. If a co-worker pulled up beside us and saw us, I'd feel strange because, like you said, it's a part of my life they don't know about and have never seen. I'd be glad that they figured it out, but it would be awkward at first. I'm pretty sure most people I know would be shocked. I don't think the dynamics between me and that person would change, but it would add another layer to our relationship.
One thing's for sure, you just never know what's going on in another person's life under the surface unless you know them really well. People are fascinating (in good and bad ways lol).
Good to see you!
Hugs
Hey Heather!
Hey, Heather, nice to see you again.
Not that I have a gf, yet, to hold hands with, but I am thinking that if I was holding her hand in public, well, IT'S IN PUBLIC. That makes a statement. She must be fine, especially knowing she will see students around. I agree with Storm that since you didn't drop your jaw and just treated it like normal everyday stuff, she's gonna be fine. They probably shared a little moment about it after you passed.
You know, I don't share my family all that much with my students. They know I am married with children, but that is about it. Sometimes, very rarely, I talk about my family or share something funny. I am the sex ed teacher, so I draw a huge line there, also. I gotta tell you that what is interesting is to listen/watch me answer the GLBT questions as honestly as possible with a straight face.

Hey Heather, great to see you and great question.
I guess my take is this.
However I once ran into a guy who worked with my mom at gay pride holding hands with another guy. He panicked and told me not to tell my mom. I told him I wouldn't but that she is cool about it and has many GLBT friends and knows about me. I just promised I would let him do the coming out to her if and when he felt ok with it. I never told but he finally did.
I am pretty much an open book, I don't mean in a crass way, but I just do not have alot to hide.
I am open about my sexuality, so that does not bother me. I could care less who knows or accepts me. I just like being free to be me. I am much happier this way.
Hugs,
Laurie

Hmmmmm... What would you need to buy for a class with me???
How long would the class last? At work they are 48 minutes long, with 4 minutes on either side for the passing of classes. So little time to get the necessary information across to even the most willing of students.
