I dont think my relationship with my t is like any other relationship. It is a relationship, but one on its own terms. After all, it is a professional relationship.
I adore my t and wish for more than that a lot. However, I do not start outside contact because I respect her privacy. I think a lit of clients do expect a lit from their t, and I expect what has been agreed upon. If she gives more, I'm in awe becauae I know she doesnt have to.

In a way, tho, it is still a relationship. So, naturally, relationship pattern will show, probably more on my side than on hers. And I see that there are similarities to my relationships to anyone else.

Just becauae she gets paid doeant mean I can't feel close to her or have a personal relationship on top of the business one. I do have relationahips to my employees. It starts out strictly husiness, hut sometimea that changes, I dont think it can change often for a t, tho. Thinking they have many clients, they may here and there feel closer to one than another, but they cannot be friends with all of them. They do a great job (well, I hope,most of them do), but its still a job.

There are differences and similarities in all relationships, I'd say. To me, I could not open o.o to someone I don't feel a connection with, so strictly business really wouldnt work with my t. At least I think, or have to think, theres more to it.
