I think you can love a person, but not be in love with them.

I love my therapist. I love him as a person. I love his wisdom, his sense of humour, his insight. I love spending time with him. I love our sessions. I love him.

But I'm not IN LOVE with him. I don't want to sleep with him. I don't want to marry him.

I want him to have an amazing life filled with happiness and fulfillment and good things. I want him to have everything he's hoped for. I want all his hopes and dreams to come true. Because I love him, and that's what I want for all people I love.

But I'm not in love with him.

There's a huge difference.
