Fairly informal this time around - conversational, really. Told her I was doing really well and why. She mentioned that most people who are as determined as I am in pursuing a relationship based upon my exceedingly high expectations are generally impatient, and she found it unusual that I was not. "On the contrary," I explained, "the anticipation is killing me, but she needs time - and her well-being far outweighs my impatience, so all I'm really doing is tempering myself with my cognitive ability."
"Yes, I know. Do you know how rare that is?"
"No? I mean, I assume most people do that - because really, what is the alternative? Behaving like a raving lunatic?"
"You're not most people," she stated.
I told her about my Vision Board, and how I still get butterflies every time I get a selfie, which led to my confession to Cass in my autobiographical cheesy romance novel that two years on, I still have those chemicals in my bloodstream, and had no idea something like that could last so long. She explained, "When someone has the communication you share with Cassie; the transparency, the vulnerability, the reciprocity, and the fact you love her mind and her body both, its not inconceivable you would have those chemicals in your bloodstream from this point forward. And if she ever gets to the point she feels the same, you will create that in one another." This is where I mentioned the idea of my perpetual-intimacy machine. "Exactly," she said. "It's very rare what you two share, and it sounds like it will never fade with the two of you being so driven to communicate." I will admit It was rather encouraging hearing the therapist outline it that way.
She also told me, that based on how starved I was for affection, and the resultant pursuit of Cassie, that my marriage was over far longer than I had realized it. I interjected there was one other person who was aware of it - Geekfriend; that she alone was unsurprised when it happened, and why. "She's been pulling away from you for a very long time," Geekfriend had once told me.
