It just makes you wonder doesn't it? I mean I tend to think tha therapists are superhuman. They can read minds. They know ALL of the answers (except with me, WHY is that?? maybe he's just holding out!). They have perfect marriages. My goal in life is to marry a therapist. But, I guess that wouldn't really work would it. Darn it :( My therapist told me once that when therapists get married the first time around, it typically ends in divorce because they use the first marriage to work out parental problems and issues. NOW, why would he tell me that? He's on his first marriage. That was just a stupid comment to make....
But, I tend to think that therapists are "the cream of the crop". They tend to be in touch with their emotions. And caring. And good listeners. Or just damn good actors. I want to marry one of my own. Maybe I'll go hike a tent in the Psychology Department and see what the prospects look like. I don't care what he looks like. I just want a full-time shrink....
I'm glad my therapist doesn't work out of his home, or I'd be tempted only to comment on his wife. And if she were around, I'd interact with her. I'm certain of it. It would make him mad of course, but I'd do it.
Did you ever comment on his marriage (or lack of one?)
I've seen a picture of my therapist's wife and I think I'm better looking. But, the more I think about it, the more I think she suits his tastes.
