No, I never said anything about dislike. I have liked all my therapists (some more than others, admittedly, but I have liked them all) and I think that most of them liked me, though I know that I have been a challenge to them, and have said and done some very hurtful things to them in the course of therapy. But the idea of being married to a therapist....but, in thinking about it, it seems that we really don't think about them as real people do we? Just like the rest of us, they are not their professions, and I doubt that they are "analyzing" everyone 24/7. Otherwise, they'd never have a life outside of work. So, would I marry a therapist? The knww jerk reaction is no. But, would I marry someone who made their living as a therapist? I don't know, maybe. I've never had the opportunity to date one to even see.
