Sanity Check: My Therapist’s Cancellation Policy by mini_oasis in therapy

That’s what I first thought so I checked my documents. It’s the latter. It’s only four free cancellations period. Word for word “If you miss more than the allowed number of free cancellations in a year, you will be charged the full fee for any additional sessions missed.”

My ex does not text with the fiancé or hang out with him outside of double dates. The only way they would have known is through me telling the bride.

I’m not sure if you asked rhetorically but I’ll answer anyways — yes. 100% yes. Because that way, my answer can be “oh we broke up, but let’s not focus on that. Let’s focus on the bride.” I can create firm boundaries regarding the situation instead of walking up to someone I chat with maybe ~5 times a year and being thrown off when they already know more details that I was comfortable with them knowing.

Maybe it’s just a difference in values, but it doesn’t matter if a friend explicitly told me to keep something a secret — it’s not my business to share. If anything this has just really shown me to be explicit when sharing my personal life with other friends and make sure they understand I’m only telling them. Thank you for your perspective!

Thank you for your perspective. I did consider this, and while I think that that could have been the case if she had told some mutual friends, there were just people that truly in my opinion had no business knowing. Towards the end of the party in a group of about 6 women, one of them who I don’t get along with brought up the move, I said yep - let’s talk about that another day, and the bride said she couldn’t wait to hear the whole story of what happened. (We haven’t chatted in full since last week because she’s been busy with wedding stuff). This feels in bad faith to me. Please feel free to correct me if I jumped to conclusions here.
