I somehow think Mair might be onto something-- you feel uncomfortable when things feel too good.
Not with your husband, but maybe in other ways, or in some way that's important.
I'm not sure, at least, why therapy would become boring, even if you are better or even if you don't need it. Boringness seems to suggest that there's some anxiety that you're suppressing-- at least that's what my T always says to me, if I say that. (Not that I;ve said it often.)
Sometimes you've said you couldn't live without your T; other times that it's boring or dead and nothing is happening. I wonder if there's something about that dichotomy that has some significance-- that desperation and total indifference or non-relationship are two poles that you haven't managed to integrate, at least enough, or in enough areas of your life.
I dont' know. I somehow don't think you are at the point of termination-- although you're at a point-- I'm not sure of what, or how to discover what it might be. But some element seems to be missing.
