Quote: I told her that I want to face the truth, but that I want to keep my marriage and she said that might be a fantasy that cannot happen.
Well, from this - which isn't very explicit at all - it could be that the C thinks in order to continue the M, a certain amount of denial is necessary. The fantasy might be facing truth AND continuing the M. You know that almost ALL Cs see patients as more sick as they actually are? In fact, clinical studies have been performed where psych students have been planted in institutions and have been "diagnosed" with multiple problems, despite the fact that they were "perfectly healthy" in a different environment.
I didn't really get that the C thought idea of reconciliation was fantasy - and that would REALLY be unusual for a C to say.
