Yes, Happyflower - I was talking to you. I did remember correctly that you had written about a strong sexual attraction to your T, and wondered how it would translate into friendship. I have found that mutual sexual attraction to men outside my marriage, esp. the men in couples my husband and I frequent socially, has meant Trouble.
But as you say, you've moved on. It would be great to live in a small town where seeing my T out and about, talking about the weather, watching his children grow, etc. was a part of things. I would like that, I think. But I don't think I could be friends with him, nor could my husband. But long term therapy is different. I could probably be friends or at least socialize with the woman I did art therapy with for six months.
Not so weel today so can't read what everyone else has written but will do so later.
