holy cow, I can't believe all this has gone on and I missed seeing it- sorry!
what a difficult situation you have been struggling with (eight times, i would be bananas - or history - by now, you are very strong!)

that occurred to me too. it seems like an effort to control the unintended bad impression that that might make.
oh boy. whatever can your T do to make it up to you. I hope the two of you can continue (if that is what YOU want). go gently, I hope you will let us know how it goes. here
