I'm Sleeping with My Son's Coach

I'm Sleeping with My Son's Coach

Monday, April 7, 2008

One Mom confesses her recent infidelity.

She explains: "I am having an affair with my son's basketball coach. My son is 8. The trouble is, we're both married. I had noticed how cute he was when my son joined the team, and all the Moms have crushes on him. But my husband really hates this coach and has clashed with him on more than one occasion.

The coach asked if I could help himorganize a team party. We met at a pizza parlor and ended up having dinner and drinks. He confessed he wasn't happy in his marriage, and asked me if I was happy in mine. When I faltered, he kissed me.

Now, every practice and game is the highlight of my week, but I feel so guilty. My son would hate me for life if he ever found out. (I don't even want to think about what my husband would do.)"

What should she do? Tell her in the Mom•Logic Community.

Sorry Mom. but you are playing with fire and both you and your family will get burned. If all the moms think this coach is cute and have crushes on him, do you actually believe you are the first and only woman to fall for his “I’m not happy in my marriage…” line? He could be sleeping with multiple partners, (which I’m sure he’d deny)and when you end up accidently pregnant, or with herpes or some other STD you’ll know for sure. You may be his “team mom” this season, but you’re only fooling yourself if you think this won’t blow up into a huge scandel. If you and your husband need some marital counseling to revive or work out problems in your marriage, now is the time to sign up. If your marriage truly can’t be saved, end it before you go out and play the field (pun intended). In the meantime, break off all contact; arrange for your son to get to practice with a carpool and don’t put yourself in the situation where you’re alone with the coach. Attend games with your husband, your son’s grandparents or other family members. Next season, make sure your son plays on another team with a different coach. You’re correct, he will hate you forever when he finds out that you cheated on his dad with his coach and this could have long term emotional effects on him that may affect his ability to trust and develop future relationshps when he’s an adult.

Does this even need a comment, surely even you know the right answer before you asked…see the entire comment above, think about someone other than yourself and never see this guy again. Who are you looking out for here…only you it seems…
