Sure, but back to Ross and Rachel: they were at least in the same relationship. You and Dr T are not--each of you is defining relationship and what it should be differently.

Expressing the anger makes sense in a marriage when you're fighting on basically equal grounds. In this relationship, you're not fighting on equal grounds.
Thanks for this!
