Even when he says the word "lesbian" referring to my extramarital affair a few years ago, he says it in a slightly altered tone, like lowering his voice, as if it's a bad word. He's quite religious, this I do know...
In other ways my therapy with him has been good, and I've attached strongly. Maybe that's why I wanted him more firmly in my corner on the abuse issue, and felt hurt when I felt he wasn't.
I am not sure what you mean about questioning whether the same dynamic of abuse might be involve in the therapeutic relationship. I haven't felt him to be abusive at all.

Well sometimes we are unconsciously drawn to relationships that mimic our abusive past.
If he is great in every other way that's probably not the case.
