Poll of the Day > Fun Fact: President Macron of France married his teacher from High School.

(+) Yeah! (+)

He started having a relationship with her when he was 15, and married her at 18 after she left her husband.

I've told countless men this fact. Can you guess what their responses were?

Welcome to like 7 years ago? Who cares about old news?

For a 70 year old? I would say she's alright.

According to Wikipedia, they didn't marry until he was 30 and she was 55. Still weird, but not nearly as bad as you are making it out to be:

marrying your student 15 years later is a little weird though

like they had to have been in contact for a while, probably some gross shit happened in that time

"He wasn't like the others," Trogneux gushed to a French documentary, according to a BBC profile of her former pupil Macron, who will take on the far-right Front National candidate Marine Le Pen in the second round of the French election. "He wasn't a teenager."

no, no he was 15. that's a teenager.

there's literally no other way to look at that, lady

trogneuz is his wifes maiden name, btw.

By the end of the school year of 1993-1994, the then 16-year-old Macron confessed his love. According to some accounts, his parents, who opposed the union, made him leave Amiens. According to the France 3 documentary, it was Brigitte who persuaded him to leave and start school in Paris, more or less 150km away. Before he left, the young man promised: "I will come back and I will marry you."

ugh, this is gross

Macron has himself called the relationship "clandestine, often hidden and misunderstood"

no, no one misunderstood it, it's gross dude, you got groomed.

I mean truth to be told if my junior year world studies teacher wanted to I would have consented then, I would consent now, and I'd have consented every day in between.

All we can tell from this is that he had a crush on teacher and they reconnected later in life.

This is still technically preferable to having a politician be a groomer

Its ageist to be against consensual adults being together.
