That's different. To take a concrete example, suppose T thinks you were abused as a child, but you don't want to talk about that. T respects your wishes, but keeps hearing things that lead back to the forbidden topic. Neither of you is doing anything wrong. Nevertheless, T has to hold back, and indeed, walk on eggshells.
