Craig can't see me tomorrow, so he asked if I was available today instead, otherwise he'd have to skip it. I told him there's work today, and we arranged he'd come to the diner at the end. Except I forgot that Josh was meeting me and we were supposed to go to dinner after work.
What wound up happening is that Josh was sitting at a table waiting for me when Craig showed up but I wasn't ready to leave, and so they sat there talking to each other. Without me there. I kept sneaking looks at them and I could see them going on and on but couldn't hear what they were discussing. I did not like that at all.
Then I got a really deep paper cut from a book of checks and was bleeding and bleeding and couldn't pay attention to them anymore. The manager came over and made me fill out this accident form because I got hurt at work.
When I finished I went to sit down with them and then realized Josh couldn't get out because I was blocking him. We just sat there bullshitting, and this gay waiter came over and offered us all pie. I kept waiting for Josh to leave and Craig to start the shrinking but we just kept eating and talking. I didn't really get what was going on.
Then Josh got a call and wanted to go outside and talk so he went to the lobby or something and Craig told me he sees exactly what we like in each other, and that we compliment each other very well. I asked him what they were talking about and he smiled and was like, "Ask your question." I said I did and he told me to try again, so I switched it to "Were you guys talking about me?" and he said they weren't. I hope he wasn't lying.
Craig asked how my finger was and if I have more bandaids at home, because you could see blood through the one I had one. And that was it. I bussed our plates and said goodbye and we just went outside to find Josh. Craig shook his hand and left.
I was kind of ... I did not like it. I was very uncomfortable. I wanted to talk to Craig about the slut thing. Bummed out.

i can imagine this must have felt very strange indeed. i get incredibly annoyed when i get the feeling that someone, whoever, is talking about me out of earshot. and here are two people you are very close to, sticking their heads together. weird.
i don't think craig lied when he said they were not talking about you. he is your shrink, he knows you well enough, he doesn't need to wheedle stuff about you out of josh. i could imagine he was trying to find out some more about josh, from a different perspective than yours, to learn something about your relationship. i guess that would explain his remark about understanding what you see in each other too.
i think it's kind of nice that the two of them met, even if it was a weird situation for you. you'll get a chance to talk to craig about what's bumming you out. but craigs learning a little more about your relationship with josh will probably be good for the shrinking too.
I can imagine how weird that would be. But remember, Craig is bound by law to NOT talk about certain things. So rest assured they weren't talking about you.
I'm sorry it bummed you out. But I'm glad to hear things are going well with you and Josh! :-)
