(MC's office is two away, and I don't think he has windows on that side, so not so concerned about him overhearing.)

I think it's also that I sent MC an e-mail Thursday saying I actually *wasn't* freaking out or upset after Monday's appointment (where I was rather critical of him at the end), that I know he expected me to e-mail with that, but I wasn't feeling that. And I tried to explain more what I was saying when I was critical of him in session (the session with him, not with T). Because I felt like it could seem like I'm contradicting myself (saying I want him to fix me, then saying I'm worried he thinks I'm the broken one in the marriage).

I said at the end that "of course you know I always appreciate a response, but if you don't have time before Monday, I understand." Which is my head is like "OK, I basically told him he didn't have to respond." Of course, I was fine for 2 days, now I'm very slightly concerned. I know it's a holiday weekend, his daughter likely has her high school graduation soon (I'm wondering if that's why he's off some next week), so maybe they're having a party or something or traveling or who knows? So I'm sure it's nothing. (And it's not like I'm obsessively checking my e-mail like I usually would, just a little thing in the back of my mind.)

So it's probably mostly guilt about talking about him behind his back, plus being critical to his face and a bit via e-mail. It's like I want to text him and be like "I'm sorry, I still love you of course" but I won't!
reminds me of the guilt i feel talking about my parents especially mom. feels like i am being disloyal and sneaky? i guess. not sure how to describe it. it is intense guilt and a large part of the reason i avoid the subject with my T
