Maybe i am reading it wrong.

What? I don't *want* to say "I love you" whenever I leave. I had used that as an example of what someone on here did, with their T saying "I know" in response, in the sense of, it's not necessary for him to say it back. He seems to have gotten hung up on that as something I want to do, and I've told him multiple times that it was merely an example of a client not needing an "I love you, too." That I don't want that (and I genuinely don't!)
