tis is the longest affair i seen over the past years
20 yrs for student and teacher
After her 20-year affair, now hubby wants divorce
SINGAPORE: She was a teacher in his secondary school and he was a 16-year-old student when the alleged affair began.
Two decades later, after teacher and student married separately and had their own families, the husband of the woman is now filing for divorce.
In a Family Court on
Tuesday, the man accused his wife of "unreasonable behaviour" and of
engaging in an "improper association" that has allegedly continued since
1988.
His court papers stated that his wife, now in her 50s and
teaching in an all-girls school, has been carrying on an "inappropriate
romantic and intimate relationship" with her former student, now 38.
The divorcing couple cannot be named, as it could lead to the identification of their two adolescent children.
But
the claims and counterclaims of the couple were laid bare as the
hearing began on Tuesday for a divorce that was filed in August 2009.
According to the court documents, the husband had met his wife when the latter was his private tutor.
The
husband, a businessman in his 40s, said he found credit card statements
in 1997, seven years into their marriage, showing shopping and dining
expenses. He added that his wife later admitted to meeting her former
student.
But she allegedly did not cease contact with her former
student as promised, even after a year, which was when her husband hit
her. She filed a police report.
The couple tried to save their
marriage but in 2008, the husband discovered emails between his wife and
her former student, which allegedly showed "much flirting and sexual
innuendo being tossed back and forth between the two".
This,
after the couple had not been having sex for 10 odd years due to the
husband's impotence, caused by chronic health problems, according to
court papers.
In her defence, the wife denied the claims,
including the alleged affair. She said she had actively cared for her
family and that her husband had constantly placed a tight rein on her.
Represented
by lawyer Koh Tien Hua of Harry Elias Partnership, she counterclaimed
that she was often scolded and beaten due to her husband's violent
temper and accused him of having an affair, instead, with their former
maid.
In subsequent papers filed with the court, she said she had a "purely platonic" relationship with her former student.
The
husband, who is represented by lawyer Kevin Lim of Wee Swee Teoh &
Co, is denying her claims and is rebutting that his probes were
justified due to the ongoing alleged relationship between her and her
former student. The man also denied any abuse and said his relationship
with their former maid was "entirely platonic".
The court hearing started after about two hours of closed-door hearings, as the couple could not come to a financial agreement.
The
husband later told the court of an email correspondence of an alleged
"unofficial school trip" that his wife and her former student made -
when the latter was still schooling - where both slept in the same hotel
room and "watched each other sleep".
During cross-examination, the husband also said the alleged ongoing affair had resulted in his wife treating the family poorly.
The
court has adjourned the matter to a later date, when witnesses
including the wife's former student and the couple's children are
expected to take the stand.
- TODAY
since that teacher & student like each other ![]()
Why don't they just get married together ![]()
20 years of affair is a long time.....I'd say they were pretty faithful people. And if you read ST today, no mention of the name Goh Ken Yi nor his grandpa's name.
So much for unbiased and truthful reporting huh. No wonder this rag is only fit for my royal cat to shit on.

Well, you've just explained pretty much the facts. Why would the paper get in trouble? Because it's owned by SPH. SPH has close links with the Lee family. For so many years...because of this fear of getting into trouble, they withhold info that might offend them.
The female teacher must be pretty and young looking or else how will a young guy falls for an old lady ? Sometimes you can't explain what is love. Love is chemistry between the 2 people involved, regardless of age, race, religion or marital status. Love is love. Till you fall in love, will you know what is love. Love is a strange thing, the smartest guy in this world, can't explain what is love. 情为何物?
