A main character has an inappropriate romantic interest in one of his students. She is not the first teenage girl he has developed feelings for, but she is the first one he actually kisses. This same character attempted to rape one of his peers when he was a teenager, but she was able to fight him off. This scene is vividly described. The schoolteacher describes another relationship with a 17 year old student that involves kissing. His wife responds to his noticeable distance by strongly pressuring him into sex even though he says no multiple times and attempts to walk away. He eventually agrees but acts violently during sex in an attempt to hurt his wife. This is a vivid description of an unhealthy relationship where sexual coercion is met with sexual violence.
