Just about the only time my p-doc has seemed angry with me was when I asked too many questions about his personal life. Once he went to Florida and I asked what he did in Florida and he said, you don't need to know that. Once he was chattier than usual and mentioned something about his wife and I said, what does your wife do? He said, that's enough questions.
This was relatively early in therapy. I have learned to tread carefully in this area. But whenever he goes away (he always tells me where he is going if I ask) I realize he has a life without me and that is more painful, I think, than the actual separation.
He's never even mentioned his wife's name, though of course I know it since I have googled and white-paged him thoroughly. I kind of cyber-stalked him at the beginning.
