Thanks annierose. You're right; It's much better to accept that the two relationships will be different. It was hard at first, though, because of the way we all communicated about it. I was only looking for a new T because I lost the old one. And there was all this talk about my needing to continue therapy. So at least in some sense, she was meant to be a replacement for him. But it's like losing your mom, and finding a new one. It's not going to ever be the same thing, no matter how useful the second relationship may be.
I wouldn't call the conversation today soothing. But it was useful, I think. Thank you for the good wishes.
