I recently started to play the trumpet again after 15 years, and I take lessons from a formal teacher I had in college. Since I am not really a kid or student, our relationship is more friend like than anything. This is good because we play in musical groups together.
We have a very honest relationship and I see him like a brother. He is like 24 yrs older. I am not attracted to him at all, and I think the same is for him too. I have a lot of fun joking around him and we enjoy each other company. We like to talk about playing the trumpet and music.Well a group of us trumpet players were going to take a lesson from a famous trumpet player about 5 hours away. I had to cancel a couple of days before the trip. Well I left a message on the phone that I couldn't go. Well he neglected to tell his wife that a women was going on this trip (I would have my own hotel room). Well when this wife saw me she got very jeolous of me.
Now I feel like my teacher is pulling away from me, isn't as friendly as he used to be. It kinda hurts, because I saw him as a friend. Plus I take weekly lessons from him too, and see him a couple of other days per week too for band rehearsals. I am trying to open myself up more to people and make friends since therapy. The first person I did, now is messed up. Maybe I should to stick to women friends only. I don't want to cause any problems for anyones marriage. It seems like everyone is leaving me lately. It makes me wonder what is wrong with me.
