I wish I knew the ingredients for magic. It still baffles me. And surprises me perhaps more now than then. Then I might have thought he was all powerful or all knowing, and felt safe with such a wise being. Now I know he's not all powerful, and not all knowing, and yet even without that he's still magic. :)
It might sting at any given moment if he were to say he was bored. If I was pouring my heart out or something. But as a general rule, seeing as I've seen him for going on fourteen years at once or twice a week, it would be pretty much impossible for boredom to have never entered the room. So admitting it is more dropping a stance that is unbelievable than admitting a shocking feeling.
On the other hand, I was a bit bothered the other day. We were talking about therapist advertisements for some reason or another, and I said that I thought it might bother me although I also totally understood. In trying to figure out why I mentioned that his preferred specialty intimidated me a bit, because I knew it was probably far more interesting than I am. He responded that it was interesting, but that it had absolutely nothing to do with our relationship. That we had built up a very special relationship, and that it couldn't possibly be compared to any other relationship so that whether I was as interesting wasn't really an issue. It should have made me feel good, but somehow there's an uneasy rankling where that memory lies.
