Lately I've been really worried about that. Especially with regards to my therapist. But also concerning some of my friends and this board. Anywhere where I share things that I wouldn't share with my husband. It feels like spending intimacy I should be reserving for my husband.
My parents were no role models for marriage or intimacy, and I grew up with my role models in so many things being TV. I remember seeing a married couple as one intimacy unit. Like when Millie Halpern (I think??) told Laura a secret and asked her not to tell another soul and when she told Rob to tell him not to tell another soul.
Mind you, my husband doesn't really want to hear this stuff, and I don't really want to hear his reaction to some of this stuff. But still....
It especially bothers me about therapy I think. Because my therapist happens to be male? Which doesn't make sense, because I don't *think* of him as male - certainly not as a sexual male.
And my husband has absolutely no objection. He sees my therapist as the last bastion between him and the less pleasant aspects of myself. He's offered to do his best to always make sure paying for my therapy is a priority.
But still....
