I have an ongoing situation in my life that a counselor friend of mine thinks my therapist may be doing exposure therapy on with me.

I don't know how to boil it down to a singular element but I'm going to try.

Its a relationship with a person with PD traits as well as Asperger's traits. He can and will deal with the Asperger's however the PD is a very sensitive issue for him. He said he's getting an MMPI along with the Aspergers test so I'm backing off for now.

The problem with the relationship is he thinks he is entitled to love and be loved by me even though he is separated from his wife. I communicated with her this week and I found out that she is the one who is holding up the divorce process but I do not care.

So the exposure therapy part is that my therapist does not want me to block my pwPD but to learn how to ignore him.
