> And also, like the above poster said, the boundaries prevent relationships that are doomed but likely to damage existing relationships.
What I meant by that last line is that, if he had given me the slightest opening, I would have divorced my husband for a relationship with my p-doc. But it would have been a doomed relationship. He would never have been, in real life, as loving and kind and trusting as in therapy. He couldn't be. Nobody could be that all the time. And that's what I would have wanted. For him to love me unconditionally, which is never possible between adults but only between adults and children or pets.
