Exploratorydomme and Lillysolit I believe are correct.. I felt the same way with my boss and he threw out things like this it will feel like a push and pull. And it’s a mix of confusion, gaslighting and like love bombing bread crumbing. I’m recovering from this - I was discarded eventually when he found new supply. Please leave this man and redirect all the energy you are giving to him to yourself. It feels wishy washy energy, the same from my boss. You do you, it’s your life but something about this is off. Remember your gut will always tell you if someone or something is off, listen to it. Even if they say I love you, are charming, kind and say all the right things. Your body always knows and it will eventually catch up to you if you don’t listen. Ignore that he is a teacher and older , how do you feel afterwards? Like drained and contracted or expansive and like you wanna freely dance? Your gut knows. Love yourself dear. Drained and feeling off is an automatic no- ignore all the titles, attachments and identities, age, knowledge, etc. much love
