I have seen my current T for about three years at this point.)

Interesting! So it is not the same in other places?

I and my t never discuss her and don't have attachments but it comes out in general just as a quick comment like if she says she will be out of town (when we are scheduling) because she is visiting her son. Or that she goes on vacation with her husband, just casual remarks. It is not like she starts going in details.

Sometimes it could be important. I want my t to have children as she can relate to me more in my opinion
