I am not here to debate the relationship between patients and health care providers... Having seen both sides has given me a solid understanding that People are people no matter what profession. Believing that training somehow transforms people is naive. No one is all good and no one is all bad.
I am looking for ideas on how to move forward... I obviously have very low faith in Doctors so seeing a marriage counselor isnt something I am interested in. It may in fact come down to that but honestly I am hoping someone has ideas that might help in place of seeing a marriage counselr. How do I overcome the feelings of betrayal? I want the intimacy back but feel it is no longer something special just between us. I realize this will be about forgiveness. where do I start? How do I let her know it hurts me when she talks about intimate parts of our relationship with others? I am pretty sure I can just have sex with her and decide to get emotional fulfillment from others. I think many relationships have that aspect over time. I really want more. I want the exclusivity of intimacy and trust and sharing. I want the bond of being connected more spiritually not just by connvenience.
I understand there are people that feel I should be fine with having other "professionals" being part of our intimate relationship. I understand that doesnt bother or "hurt" other people in their relationships, however it does hurt me.
