He often speaks about needing his time alone, and how crowded their little home is. He said he sometimes leaves and goes into the office just to get a little space for himself. He has built himself a "mancave" in the basement. Well, all could still be hunky dory between them. I dont know have a clue one way or the other. But I sure would like to be a fly on the wall to find out what they are like together. Especially since I am in an abusive relationship with my husband. Is he ever like him? I wont believe it could be so.
I worry when a therapist talks so much about their personal life. I think if a therapist can share with a client about something in order to help the client, that might be okay, but therapists need to be there for their clients and not vent their problems.

Just a thought.
