I don't mean personal things, I mean something like a poem she likes or something she saw or read. My ex-T used to share thoughts with me about other things. I used to feel that it made her a little vulnerable, and that it made us closer, and I felt that it was a good thing for my therapy. I'm curious about what you all think about this. And what other people's experience of it is.

You can select multiple answers on the poll.
I've found out things because he relates to what I'm going through. Most recnet example is me feeling guilty about not being as connected to my husband b/c I'm so busy with school. He told me his wife once hid his keys when he was in school so that he couldn't go. (He was both working and going to school FT). He said he found them in a minute and left, but moral of the story is, it's a lot of work and sacrifice.

He discussed his upbringing when we were talking about mine. It was always relevant in a way and I'm glad he does it that way because it does help to hear it from another person's perspective.
