Have you considered that this also may be a sign of troubles in your relationship with your partner? Maybe that is something the therapist could help you with.

I see this happen a lot in therapy. They call it transference. Maybe your therapist knows how to handle this kind of thing professionally but that would take a willingness for you to not feed the fantasies.

While obsessive behavior is not wanted, it's something that happens. If the T doesn't know how the handle transference, then they shouldn't be a T. I think op would most probably be open to explore the thoughts in therapy, hence why they posted here...
