Yeah though I see this as an issue I have with her herself, not with therapy. Therapy is just an excuse. She would have done this in any other relationship with a similarly contradictory excuse. I mean there's legitimate reasons she would feel like this relationship was too much but it's like, can't fix it by pretending it doesn't exist. I will give it to this whole experience that it has taught me to be honest with myself about what I expect from any given circumstances. It's my fault for tempting a married woman. And it's her fault she let it happen. This is why I shouldn't be ranting, I was just as guilty as she was. It still hurts though, feelings are just like that...
Thanks for this!
