Reply to "Update on Transference"

Hello,

I've never used a site like this and am very nervous about this whole idea but here it goes...

I have been in marriage counseling for 2 years now. My therapist has done a wonderful job at keeping my marriage together. Without her, I don't believe I would still be married today. The problem is that every time my wife and I go to counseling sessions, the stronger my feeling get for my therapist. I have become completely infatuated with her. I can't stop thinking about her. I know she is happily married and loves her job. She would NEVER jeopardize her career or marriage for me. Since I know this to be true, I have become extremely heart broken. I'm pretty sure that my T and my wife have no idea about my feelings. It's hard to keep this kind of stuff inside.

There is no way I could tell my T how I feel. She would surely tell my wife and then their would be a huge problem. I'm not sure if she would handle the situation or refer us to someone else. I think I should suggest to wife that we get a new marriage counselor. But I would hate not seeing her anymore. I guess eventually I would get over it.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks.
