My therapist has said the same. He's also said that I probably get the best part of him. That's likely true. I know I've told my husband once or twice that I wish I were a coworker, and he's not even in the business of being caring.
I have to say the timing is pretty good. I'm less attached and dependent than I used to be, so the feelings of sibling rivalry is less than it would have been at one time.
And I suppose it isn't bad to evoke in therapy the feelings I had when my brother first came. That may be a big part of it.
