I (28F) saw a therapist weekly for several months when I was 20 due to an incident that happened in college at that time. I took my Spring semester off and stayed with my parents through the Spring and Summer before returning to school out of state in the Fall. I saw the therapist during my time at home. I was very attracted to him and I got the impression that he might have been attracted to me, but he was extremely professional and I also never flirted with him. I believe he was in his late 20’s at the time, so within 10 years of my age. When I returned to school in the Fall I started seeing a therapist near there monthly and have felt healed for many years.
On New Year’s Eve I attended an engagement party in my hometown for a friend from high school. It was very fancy and had probably 300+ people in attendance. The alcohol was flowing, everyone was dancing and having a great time, when I see my ex-therapist. At first it seemed like he couldn’t quite place me, but he remembered who I was almost immediately. Apparently he’s my friend’s fiancé’s cousin. We were both already fairly tipsy by the time we started talking but continued drinking throughout the night and we ended up going back to his apartment together.
The next morning he seemed really anxious about the whole thing saying he is very interested in me, but this shouldn’t have happened and it could get him in trouble. I’ve looked up the rules and it seems like our circumstances would be acceptable, since it’s been way longer than 2 years since we discontinued therapy. I’m just left feeling sad and confused. Would it really be that bad for us to try things out? Does he just not like me?
Tl;dr: Slept with my ex-therapist from over 8 years ago after seeing each other at a party. I’m feeling confused as I want to see him again but he says we can’t.
