I told my T I love him and couldn't stop crying. Sometimes I have to say it or I feel like my heart will burst. I've now said it a few times and I always cry. He says thank you, he understands how I feel. He said he doesn't love me in the same way because if he did this relationship wouldn't be helpful to me. He asks me why this is so sad? I have no sexual feelings for him, but I have never felt so attached to another human being in my life. He says what I feel is not love -- which means putting another's needs first -- but dependency, like a child feels for a parent. It feels like love but it makes me sad, not happy. Therapy is so confusing.
