I never said the t had romantic feelings. Im sorry i didnt explain myself more clearly the first time around. A person can be vulnerable to another person's foibles or traits and just not be a good match. A person can be temporarily vulnerable due to personal circumstances such as grief. That is how i meant "vulnerable" - not in any romantic sense. The client may have felt there were potential romantic issues since she mentioned her h early on - if the t didnt want to deal with that for whatever reason, i dont think any ethical rule says he must. I am glad it did end as positively as it did.
