I think it just comes down to - you cant have your cake and eat it too. If you want a husband to pay your bills, then maybe you put up with a lot of bs. An aunt of mine, who i thought wasnt very smart and who was from the old country, said when i got divorced, "she doesnt have to put up with his bs because she has a good job." I was like, whoa! Its weird being alone, but its also weird living according to someone elses schedule, or compromising all the time. Idk. People are weird. I'll stick with books. Old books that were edited. Dead people are okay!

I absolutely, with no question, hesitation or doubt, think the therapist and the client need to be in agreement. I will not be helped against my will. I think that is wrong and unethical. Never ever do those guys get to help me against what I want. They can refuse to help at all - but they do not, in any situation, get to impose something I do not want or impose a way I don't want upon me.
To me it is nothing at all like the parts of your second paragraph that I understand. I don't understand the part about the books.
