I saw a pic of my shrink's wife (didn't seek it out either) and she was completely ordinary looking. Not beautiful, not ugly, just an average-looking suburban woman. Brown blunt hair cut, brown eyes, glasses, slim, conservatively dressed, not much makeup.
I admit, I was relieved that I was younger and prettier than she is. I am not proud of that part of me. But she gets him all the time, and I just get him for sessions. Plus, I am not even sure I am attracted to him in a husband-type way. There is a feeling for him though, I feel it in my heart. I mean I literally feel it in my chest, kind of a fullness or longing.
But I want someone like that for myself, full time, not just a yearning. He has helped me recognize the qualities of a nice man and has encouraged me to hold out for that.
And it's kind of comforting to know that he did not just go for looks when he chose a spouse, but chose someone of average attractiveness. He's not shallow that way.
