I'm not sure they were necessarily fake, per se. However, I don't think they served my best interest. Particularly being in marriage counseling, shouldn't he have been trying to help us figure out how H could support me in that way? It did feel like a drug at times. Where I'd be reaching out to him via email or text to get a fix. And felt almost withdrawal the day after seeing him. I think T is trying more to model a healthy connection as compared to ex-MC. He once said that ex-MC seemed enmeshed with me. And I'd agree with that.
