Love,

PS--If you ever asked, I'd totally deny the "I love you" part because it's way too scary and has too much of a threat of rejection. But...I feel at this point in our relationship, there's maybe a tiny chance it would be OK? But probably not, so no way in hell I'd risk that. I value our relationship too much.

I said I love you to my second T in writing a few times. It was scary the first time but not the second or third or fourth. I don't think there is anything wrong in loving your T. I think it's hard that they don't love back in the same way that we love them. I never expected my T to say I love you back, though I suspect she does at least care for me a lot. But I totally get not wanting to be vulnerable and tell T that you love them. The risk of rejection feels too high.
