I don't think you should feel bad about how you responded even when you fought with him, Dinah. You expressed, clearly and firmly, your feelings about something that is a very real issue within your relationship. That is important, and that you can do it is, as Daisy said, a tribute to your relationship.The issue of money is particularly sensitive in the therapy relationship. I'm glad your T was able to indicate how it affects him as a person who does therapy for a living. What happened to you is what happens in every close relationship: something stirs up a deep, complex, painful issue that is unresolved, and soon everyone is off to the races. In a good relationship, you air the feelings, dust yourselves off, and start again. And that appears to be what happened here.
So good for you. Just sorry it had to be so darned unpleasant for you.
