Am I just being a bad wife? Or am I right, and this behavior is a tad strange?
Here's the sitch:
Hubby, 32 yrs old, still gets emails and letters from two female teachers from his high school. One I cross-referenced (years ago) to his yearbook and she had wrote telling him not to ever forget all the fun they had in the back seat of Soandso's car. He said they went egging and t.p.ing on Halloween as a joke to few of the administrators houses and that was it. Mm-hmm. Okay (shouldn't be in the car with a student anyway but whatever, I'll move on because I've made THAT argument a gazillion times). The other has never really written anything inappropriate, but at least once a year, she asks Hubby if he remembers when she did the 12 days of Christmas with him and was his secret Santa (not because of any game or name drawing, she just wanted to buy Hubby gifts I guess and leave them secretly in his locker, his car, his porch at home, yeah, I know, strange, right?).
Please, tell me this is not normal. Do your old hs teachers keep in contact? Maybe it is normal to have teachers still contacting you a decade and a half after you graduate from a small town school. Miss SecretSanta, only contacts him once or twice a year. Miss Funinthebackseat, emails and writes him quite a bit more. She writes him long letters detailing her life (mundane stuff, nothing sexy or implying she wants him or anything). She does say she thinks about him often, but she always manages to phrase it unassumingly. It just seems strange to me. He thinks I'm the one who is strange because it rubs me the wrong way. He says it's not weird for teachers to not only stay in touch but initiate all the communication. He says they just always seemed to really like him, to show him a lot of attention because he was just a good, fun, sweet kid to be around.
C'mon, really, is this normal?
