I have a question because I have a client that I've worked with for 9 years or so.. he's 75 I'm 56 he's married and I've always been in relationships I have no interest in him never have but too many times in the last few years he's asked me if he is more to me than just a client.. and I've told him the same thing just slightly different ways and he seems to get really offended I think of him as a father figure and I care for him like I do a family member nothing more and I think that bothers him.. it's starting to make me angry because it's too much pressure on me.. I've had to tell him to stop texting me so much because he texts me all day long and sometimes I don't answer .. I've had to tell him I don't talk to my best friend or text her everyday... And I am aware of transference.. but I think he fantasizes about having a relationship with me and that's never going to happen do I say that?? Just be blunt? I know this is an old post I'm hoping it gets back to these people..
