If I had thought we were ever going to be in a real relationship with a future, perhaps I might have. I just find it funny (not haha) that he hasn't picked up on it. I did mention once about having issues with anxiety before though, not sure if it made an impact.

That is interesting. I have come across a fair few people in MH field who were drawn because of their own issues, they don't always have those issues in check either - maybe it's that way with him. To be blunt I have come across some of the most effed up people working within MH I'm sad to say, and that's in my personal life not as a patient.
Just wanted to add that you sound bang on with your thoughts here, so glad to hear you know you deserve better - you certainly do!
