But I was surprised to see that you classified this as a more direct discussion of some of this...Come to think of it, I am surprised I said that too. We talk about relationship a lot. Perhaps we sometimes talk around it a bit, or fill it full of caveats. Or maybe it was that he was more direct in his answers, allowing a more person to person discussion rather than a therapy discussion. More like we discuss it here, as fellow clients, than as he usually discusses it therapist to client.

And even if we ever get "done" with my "issues" then I can still lean on him for support.My therapist definitely believes that. But he thinks it's a necessary component of my mental health care.

Me too. (Most of the time.) But I'd still like a fling with yours.
