My suggestion is to tell the truth. I usually shine it and bevel it a bit, but then I do tell it.
How does it compromise you?
The problem is that she likes someone you detest? My therapist likes the pdoc from h*ll enough to enter into a semipartnership with him.
I tell myself his ability to like difficult people enables him to be my therapist and to like me even when I'm difficult.
I know what you mean by wanting to pull away. Those self protective urges hit me all the time. With my therapist, with Babble, with everything and everyone except my dogs and my husband and son. Well, maybe even then.
Do you think this is more of an excuse to pull away? It must have been hard to go from three times a week to two, and I imagine your relationship took a bit of a hit from that?
