It has the potential to make you more trustworthy in her eyes.
What is it like if you imagine yourself fighting against that urge to unmask him and saying to T "I know you didn't want to show me so I stopped searching for him out of respect for you." How would it feel to be t and hear that? How would she react? How would you feel about her reaction? How would that affect your relationship? How would it strengthen it?
I think there is unexplored potential for change there. because respecting her boundary has the potential to strengthen your relationship in trust and commitment.
To be respected is such a gift.
Luce, I love my T and would like to do that. She would be proud of me! But right now I still have this compulsion to find the answer, solve the riddle, find the information. Not sure which part of me will win.
