happyflower-
just a few thoughts ... your therapist is a real person, and this is a real relationship. it is just a relationship with defined boundaries and some sort of "rules" (so to speak). so don't discount your feelings with or about your therapist.
i'm glad he did disclose that he was married. do you think you'd be able to tell him what you wrote here ... maybe with humor ... "darn, now that i know you're married, is it still okay to fantasize about you?" it would take tons of courage. my therapist is female, so i don't run into that issue, but i have let her know how much she means to me, how much i think about our work, etc. etc.
i agree too, that leaving therapy will be bittersweet. for me, i am hoping that day is long off in the future, and i know my t will not push me out the door in a hurry.
