Regarding the sessions going over, that happens sometimes with my pdoc. If he doesn't have a patient right after me, he will sometimes just continue on after he writes out my scrip. I will put the scrip in my purse and then he will ask about some thing we talked about and the session goes over time, sometimes half an hour over the time, other times just a few minutes over it.
I am not aware of me being the one to cause it. If I apologize for going over, he says, "oh that's ok, I am the one in control of that and I have time."
But if there is a patient after me, then he sticks to the hour. I only see him once every 3-4 weeks so maybe that is why he goes over some time.
I know he goes over with other people some time too, so I know it is not because I am so fascinating, LOL.
My therapist, on the other hand, is much more time-conscious, ending sessions at the same time all the time even if there are no other patients waiting.
Well, that's just my experience with the time thing. The other questions you had are more complex...
Regarding your boyfriend, you are young, so maybe you are just too young and evolving still to make your choice of your forever-man??? When I was in my early 20s, I just had no clue in that area, but that's me. At least now I know what standards I have.
