My therapists have told me that they wouldn't treat people who I knew (i.e. friends) because there would be a conflict of interest.
If I'm understanding your post, you went into therapy with her. Then the guy in your life joined you in therapy (so the therapist was treating both of you - or treating the relationship). Then the guy started seeing her individually, while you were also seeing her individually? Sometimes therapists work for a relationship, but have individual sessions with the people in the relationship. I would think that once your marriage ended, that she would have to choose to see one or the other of you - but that she couldn't see both of you.
Did you and she agree to migrate from your therapy to couples therapy? Did you stop seeing her while he kept going?
It does seem a bit messy...
