Thanks, Aphrodite. I suppose it comes from my penchant for excessive naval gazing, but it *has* helped. I'm the sort of person who is way more comfortable when I thoroughly understand something, not excluding myself.
I hate to be excessively hard on the guy, even if I am angry. I was really upset this morning, crying and stuff, about the sex therapy appointment. And I was also angry with him for his support of the idea. So if he supports the idea, I'm going to be angry with him on one level. If he opposes the idea, I'm going to be angry with him on another. Throw in his own (in my view misguided) belief that it is important for every single mental health provider who comes into contact with me to know about ego states, and he's in a difficult position.
In some ways I think he's more likely to support the scared part, because that's the part that goes to therapy. In some ways I think he's more likely to support the rational part, because he agrees that sex should be... oh what did he say? Rich and rewarding part of the human experience or something like that.
