keeps suggesting I see a therapist.

Did u beat him or something?

DanceWme said:

Maybe got pissed a couple times.

err, congratulations? Maybe his self loathing is great and he can't understand why you're with him.

Seriously I wouldn't suggest that to someone unless she was asking how to deal with their problems, or perhaps they developed severe issues during the relationship.

But I hope you're doing okay

So why not dump him, and date a therapist?

NDRU said:

yeah..good luck with that!

NDRU said:

not sure I follow, can you elaborate?



yeah, it's weird. I didn't know my issues were that severe. But thank you.

heartbeatocean said:

Do you think this is deflection on his part?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

you mean deflection from his own issues? Could be.

heartbeatocean said:

well, that was supposed to be the "funny" part. Like Groucho "I wouldn't join a club that would have me as a member." Maybe he thinks you must need therapy if you're dating him?

NDRU said:

yanno, I think there's something to that theory.

heartbeatocean said:

Some guys like to keep you on your toes by pointing out your faults.

heartbeatocean said:

There's nothing wrong with seeing one if you truly feel that you need it.

the org is my therapist

maybe the guy you're seeing is a "therapist"...and that's his way of saying he wants to play doctor... .

NDRU said:

It's because I'm moody and sometimes blunt, and he has a hard time dealing with that.

heartbeatocean said:

definitely the cheapest one available, too!

heartbeatocean said:

Maybe he's right, but I'm guessing he has a few flaws, too?

heartbeatocean said:

You've been duped. I'd get a refund.

Actually I saw a therapist for years. Thought I had outgrown it and graduated.

heartbeatocean said:

Yes. I am not saying that I don't need therapy but trust me, the trainwreck of boyfriends that laid that line on me needed therapy 1000 times before I ever did

AnckSuNamun said:

it's therapy conducted by the patients!

NDRU said:

I think he feels therapy has done a lot for him.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

yes we pretty much all need it. It seems unfair to suggest "YOU need it."

heartbeatocean said:

Well in that case, fuck him. As long as you're o.k with how you feel, then you shouldn't take his comments to heart, imo.

NDRU said:

at least I fit in here

heartbeatocean said:

were u doing that when he said what he said?

NDRU said:

A "takes one to know one" method. This is making me wonder about therapists now.

NDRU said:

okay, so he sends me a link for interns (i.e. students still in school) who charge for sessions on a sliding scale. Am I that far gone, I need a student giving me counseling?
