the tiredness... i am guessing they have already tested everything bloodwork-wise? i have some similar issue with tiredness we haven't figured out so i am hot on that trail as well. i am thinking mine is hormonal. But my GP, upon learning about my stressors suggested it might just be a stress rxn. He could be right. Is that a possibility for you? You talk a lot about work stress... maybe you really want a change? Dunno..just tossing it out there.
other things which have helped the tiredness somewhat: taking more vitamin supplements and taking oil of oregano (a LOT of people suffer tiredness due to overgrowth of intestinal yeasts but for some reason docs don't test for this)... exercise helps some too.
With the cell phone.. i am sad about that. Did you tell him exactly what you just said? That he isn't respecting the space or you and you feel he can do whatever he wants because he knows he can? If you have then he should know that is controlling behaviour on his part that verges on abuse IMO... because if he is aware of that then he is actively helping you create a disempowered image of yourself...
i know you don't/won't make a stand over it.. but i think it certainly should be pushed. How does he justify his obstanance? (sp?) It's not like you are objecting to his choice of clothing or something. Maybe calculate the per minute cost of your therapy and deduct the amount of time/money based on the amount of time the phone is ringing or he is on it? He could hardly make a stand on that either... he isn't going to refuse to see you based on that. i don't know about this either as i am pig-headed and have been known to go to jackassery when pushed too hard.
