Pretty sure I saw Dr. T with his wife at one of the tables downstairs from his office when I got there about 10 minutes early. They were together, then both stood up (I was in my car--I tend to wait in my care until a few minutes before session so I'm not sitting awkwardly in the waiting room). I've seen her photo before, when she posted in a group I was in years ago, and this woman looked very similar.
I debated whether to say anything, but figured it would be on my mind, so I mentioned it when I sat down. Well, I said, "Were you just sitting outside?" He asked how long ago, and he confirmed that he was. I said I saw him with someone who looked like his wife from the time I'd seen her photo (he knew about that). He didn't confirm or deny that it was her. He did say it was probably the first time I've seen him someplace unexpectedly, which I think is actually correct, so he could understand why it felt a little weird. (And it's actually sort of amazing I haven't run into him otherwise, as he both works and lives 15 minutes away from me.)
I sort of wanted to talk about it more, but felt weird doing so, and it's not like he seemed to be inviting it (like if he'd said, "I'm not saying it was my wife, but if it was, how would that feel?"). So I just moved on to other things. I'll see if it's still on my mind Monday (it's not the sort of thing I'd email about now--maybe a few years ago, I would have, but now I realize it wouldn't be a good idea, and I can just sit with it). Going to a concert tonight, so hopefully that can take my mind off it (though it's 5 minutes from his office, so).
