> PinkEyeIt's funny but despite my feelings for him, I always knew that this was something special and private and I couldn't expect anything. I know he's happily married with a daughter and despite all the bullshit I go through, I love my husband very much. And I didn't ask him if he felt that way about me because I knew he didn't. He's been nothing but professional, sensitive and kind to me and I know he respects the boundaries of therapy. I was actually trying to imagine what I would do in the unlikely case that he reciprocated and I think I'd run screaming out of the office. :-) It's very hard to define my feelings for him but I know it's something just for me and very idealized. Does that make sense?
sigh.
