does anyone think it's kind of strange and inappropriate that he had a sexual relationship with his piano teacher? i actually have nothing against large age differences in otherwise happy relationships, it's just that he said he was only 17 when he left (how old was he when it started?) and they said the woman was middle-aged at the time (older enough that when he went to visit her, he thought her elderly mother was her!). i was in high school at that age, and i know my parents would have been outraged if they learned that an adult in my life was rubbing up on me or started a relationship with me. but i guess an older woman with a younger man can seem less creepy than an older man with a younger woman? even if it's the same.
i'm not up in arms about it or anything, i just watched the episode for the first time in ages and was curious about it, so i thought i'd mention it for the sake of conversation here!
i feel like if this happened to someone in real life, it'd inevitably have an effect on their romantic relationships in the future. i know this wasn't meant to be significant for frasier as i don't think it's ever even mentioned again, but do you imagine that this could be a factor in his terrible ability to have a lasting relationship with a woman?
