Confession of Assistant Professor towards her Student in Canada

We met in the classroom. I was the newly appointed Assistant Professor, and she was a final-year student in the Computer Science department. I was 26 years old, and she was 21.I told her about my financial status, caste, responsibilities, and despite all that, she said yes to me. We started our relationship and she wasn’t just a lover to me. I saw a partner in her. She told me about her past relationship, but it never came up in our conversations after that.

She wanted to settle in Canada after graduating from Kerala, and I was okay with it. We talked about the challenges of a long-distance relationship, and I supported her dreams. I introduced her to my family, relatives, and friends and everyone was happy for us. The teacher had found love in his student.

She left India and started a new life in Canada. Our long-distance communication was strong. We talked daily and shared our day-to-day lives. She met new friends there, and I trusted her, loved her deeply, and expressed my love openly.

She always told me she could feel my love and considered herself lucky. Days passed without any issues between us. One day, she slipped on the ice and fractured her hand, and I supported her emotionally through her pain. I also supported her during her jobless days and in every other way possible.

One morning, I noticed she was spending more time with new friends. She told me her old friends were busy with their lives and not paying attention to her. I was okay with her making new friends, but over time, her calls and messages started decreasing. I asked her why, and she said she wasn’t okay in Canada, had no job, and felt cursed. Again, I supported her.

One day, I was talking to a mutual friend of ours in Canada, who wasn’t aware of our relationship. When I told her about her, she was surprised because she was one of her juniors. She called me “sir” and revealed that my girlfriend was in a live-in relationship with one of her friends. She was cheating on me and had introduced me to her new friends as her cousin. I was shocked and couldn’t believe it.

I confronted her and her new boyfriend, and they admitted they had been in love for the last five months. That’s why she distanced herself from her old friends, because they knew about our relationship, while to her new friends, I was just a cousin. I called her old friends, our mutual friend, and even her mother, but I didn’t have any other options. Eventually, she blocked me without saying a word. The trauma haunts me daily.
