Phillipa,
I'm glad you were comfortable with that arrangement. For the most part I share your view. I like to imagine he has the perfect marriage and the perfect happy family :)!! Sometimes his wife is also pottering about in the garden behind the office. A long time ago I posted about how she would sometimes put up/take down their washing from the washing line. That was weird seeing her hanging up underwear! Luckily I have bad eyesight so I didn't get the full details on my T's briefs.
Perhaps the difference is that my T is an analyst. It's a very intense relationship with transference. My previous pdoc also had an office in his home and that didn't bother me at all - wouldn't have bothered me had I seen his wife (not sure if I did or not actually) as I had no really feelings for or against him. When there is a strong attachment it matters more I think.
