Assuming you're not trolling don't ask anyone here that question. 99% of the posters on here have a superiority complex because of their social shortcomings (not good with women). So they'll try to do whatever they can to make you feel insecure or ever just blatantly incompetent. My advice is smash and dash you have no other choice. Who am I kidding you're a troll so troll away.

The same world where all your female professors want you like dogs in heatIn what world is that a real scenario?
This actually is my point. The idea of homewrecker, even though it works for both sexes, is usually applied to women. It is misogynistic and archaic no matter how valid the sentiment underneath it is. I honestly believe that the blame quite often is simply misplaced from the offending party onto the "co-conspirators" as it feeds the misogynistic tales many people subscribe to. I am not saying sleeping with married people is good thing or perfectly normal, but it is nowhere near the level of blame the person who actually cheated deserves, IMO. I also find guys who try to hit on married women to be pathetic but this is not the case here. She is the initiator, he is just a passive dude not pushing in any way at all, at least according to the story. I understand that people should act decent in the society but when it comes to someone else being more responsible blaming others for being indecent rather than focusing on the guilty party is just making another excuse, IMO.Is this really the kind of person you are? There's a term for women who do this: homewrecker. Yes, it's archaic and misogynistic. But the underlying sentiment is valid and works for both sexes. When two people get married, they enter into a social contract, not just with each other, but with society at large. They agree to be monogamous (in the vast majority of cases) and society agrees to support their union. As a decent person, you should resist having sexual relations with married people quite simply because that's what decent people do. Don't be a homewrecker.

I agree with this completely. Basically my overall point was that I hate when people blame the third party more than the actual offender.I've always that it's dumb to get mad at the dude that you don't even know who banged your wife instead of blaming it all on your wife since she's the one who made a commitment to you. But while he's not responsible for their marriage, he still needs to act like a damn professional and you know... not sleep with the wife of this guy that's mentoring him. You won't get far in your career if you try to sleep with the spouses of all your colleagues and then just say "I never said no vows!"
It's not like this is a random, no-name person to him. He needs a favor from the husband (LOR), so I'm pretty sure not helping to mess up the guy's life is probably just a good call. Irrational or not, it will most likely color the letter in a not so favorable way.
That said, obviously none of this is real, so it's all kind of irrelevant...

That's fair, especially considering that the guy did him a favor. I guess what somewhat bothered me was the advice that he needs to regulate his behavior, study in the public places, avoid leaning in, etc. It just seems like a high school game from teenage chick-flick, IMO. Maybe it is the right thing to do but it just doesn't sit well with me at all.My point is that there's more than enough blame to go around. Sure, blame the cheating wife. But to excuse the behavior of someone choosing to betray the trust of someone who has done him a favor and enter into an adulterous relationship with the wife of his mentor? Some people seem to be arguing that this is OK.
To anyone who's seriously saying "She's more wrong than he is" in defense of his potential cheating -- Well, that's pretty weak moral reasoning. So if thievery is less wrong than murder, does it make it OK? How about you do neither?
I want the Batman to explain how one has a superiority complex from being bad with women.
"blatantly incompetent" ? Incompetent at what exactly?
Blatant = in an unsubtle and unashamed manner
Very strange word-smithing there...
How could the OP possibly have no choice but to "smash and dash"? In what world is that a real scenario?
Batman, you're struggling, bro.
And you seem to be doing the semi-grown up equivalent of "I'm rubber your glue, whatever you say sticks back on you", except you believe it. Right, people don't like you because they are actually guilty of the character flaw that you exhibit. "I'm not a narcissist, you people don't like me because you think you're better than everyone else" Brilliant.

Solid rebuttal. 👍
Whenever someone says i'm not like because of "blah blah blah reason" it makes me smile. I actually get along with everyone, i'm one of the most selfless person on campus. Yet because of a few posts in which I spoke my true thoughts no one likes me? Now you know why I gave out the response
"Lol Ok"
I'm done there is no need for me to argue with you I need to be studying for my exam.
oh if the doc in question were me, there would still be a letter... (unless OP was smart enough to not ask for one)let's be real, if the doctor found out, regardless of whether OP reciprocated, there may not even be an LOR

Am I the only one who read this who thought OP was a premed girl? And that the doctor's young wife was trying to get into some girl-on-girl experimentation?

I don't know many girls with the name "Brian," so no unless the OP is a post op transexual (now that would be an interesting twist), no.

What planet do you live in? If a woman kisses you on the cheek (yes, even a married woman) -- SHE WANTS YOU BAD. BE VERY AFRAID. Whatever you do, do not fnck her.Keep shadowing the doctor. If the wife start hitting on you, just tell her you're not interested. Plus you're jumping to conclusions. Many women are just really affectionate with their behavior. Kiss on a cheek doesn't mean anything. Maybe she's awful at orgo and you could help her do better on her next exam.
My male prof. was def in love with moi.This thread ranks right up there with the guy that thought all of the female professors were either attracted to him or hated him (or maybe it was both?)!!!!!!

OH GOD ITS THE BATMAN
Handsome, brilliant, altruistic AND humble.
Bro, if you are truly liked, you wouldn't need to convince anyone here. Shows you are truly hated. Why you give a **** what some people online think about you? Only what you know about yourself matter. Say what's on your mind and be done. It's an open forum everyone has a right to their opinion. Stop looking over your shoulder.Whenever someone says i'm not liked because of "blah blah blah reason" it makes me smile.

I said I laugh it off not yell at my computer screen because a complete stranger said something mean. I think it's fair to say I don't really care at all about what anyone here thinks. Gee maybe that's why i'm so outspoken and say what's truly on my mind ALL the time. Are you sure you're a psychology major? Please tell me you're still in intro. I'll just keep doing what I do and you keep doing what you do
Beats me. I was just wondering the same thing.Why so serious brah?
I'm shadowing a family doctor at his private practice regularly (he's also my doctor). His wife frequently visits his practice and brings their daughter around. And since I'm always there shadowing, I often converse with his wife (she also takes classes at my uni and is an aspiring pre-med). Frankly, I feel his wife is too young for him. But who am I to judge? Over the last few weeks she's been getting a little too close to me (touching my hand and having her arm around me, giving me hugs when I leave their practice when he's not around.) And this week at my uni, she'd been following me around to and from class all the way to my dorm room! She has an O-Chem test coming up and she'd like me to help her study for it, of course I said yes and she got all excited and THEN kissed me on the cheek. Did I make the wrong choice? How will the doc think of me and his wife studying together? Should I tell him she kissed me and possibly ruin any hope for a LoR? Maybe I should find a different doctor to shadow. 🙁
Please help, what should I do?
Edit: Just to be clear, it's the wife that's been following me around. Her daughter is 4 years old...
