No, there is never any obligation for therapists to disclose their personal lives and for clients to pry into what is private. Why on earth should therapists tell clients whether they get married or not, it is *their* right to privacy.
There is also no obligation to disclose any health issues IF they are benign, which was the case with your therapist. She only informed you when it became an issue that could impact therapy. It makes no sense, and is extremely intrusive, to demand that therapists disclose any and every little health issue. Health information is private and protected.
These requirements ('is my T married' or 'why is my T not telling they got married etc.') are rather voyeuristic. Ts are entitled to a private life and to THEIR right to privacy.
