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

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？
