I am a 37 year old FT at a large university in Hunan province. I have been in a relationship with a twenty year old student at the same uni for six months. We get on really well, have many common interests, and have a satisfying sex life.
However, to my dismay, I have discovered that next semester this girl will be one of my students. I don't know what to do about this, it will be strange having my GF in my classes. I have kept this relationship very discreet, as my apartment is on campus, and my GF only comes to my on-campus apartment three nights a week, after 8 at night when it is dark. She returns to her dorm by 11pm at night.
So far nobody is suspicious of us, but I am worried that someone will pick up on the vibes and chemistry between us. I also don't want to be called a "cradlesnatcher" by anyone if they discover our relationship. It is a loving relationship we are in.
Should I split up with her? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
