AIBU to stop therapy after learning my therapist’s husband is Reform?

[CanyonRider]

I live in a small town. I started having therapy maybe a year ago. I feel it’s been working for me and I like my therapist. However I realised today that she is (very very recently) married to a man who recently stood and won as a reform councillor in our local election. I detest reform. I’m married to an immigrant (EU citizen) and am delighted that my kids are dual nationals and have the option of travelling, working and living in the EU should they desire. I’m also very pro the transition to green energy. I have solar and drive an EV. Finally I cannot stand Farage and the political grift embodied by people like him and Jenrick and am dismayed by the harms caused by Brexit.

My therapist is also an EU national and is here under indefinite leave to remain - as is my wife.
Read a few interviews with her husband today and he spouts the usual anti EU, anti immigration, anti green transition rhetoric you’d expect from Reform. I don’t feel comfortable continuing therapy with someone who’s married to a reform politician, and am very surprised that she is comfortable with his views and by extension those of Farage.

Am I overreacting?

When my son goes to scouts, it is held in a building where the St George and Union flags are on display. Should they all be sacked? Does this make my son racist? Is every Scout’s member and volunteer racist?

I don’t know if my therapist is married or single. My therapy sessions are about me not her.

I do know that she is an amazingly kind and wise women who had helped me so much and helped me turn my life around.

If I discovered she was married to a reform supporter - I think I would be surprised but it wouldn’t change all she has done and is doing for me.

I wouldn’t want to give up our working relationship because of her personal life which has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Teenage boys say dumb things. Even the boys of today. Racial banter is a thing that young boys do. How someone acts and behaves in adult life is a completely different matter.

You can't genuinely think this is true. How crazy.

I’d leave my husband of 37 years if he ever voted Reform. No way would I want to spend time and share finances, children etc with views like that.

It is an appropriate place to hang flags.

No... the ones I work with are absolutely not.

Yes, sack the Scouts.

FFS.

And yet, the OP stated that the therapy has been working well until they found this out…

I agree with this. My political views very much form a part of my core values. I can’t separate my other beliefs and values from them. They are one and the same.

i would really struggle to be in any kind of relationship with someone married to a reform politician. I wouldn’t trust their judgment at all.

So where is an inappropriate place to hang them?

Do you remember LOL? It's rather passe I know but I have just done it.

Outside Hotels which have been repurposed to house migrants. Rows and rows of them.

I don't think it's exactly equivalent.

Reform will not hinder the north sea and will scrap carbon taxes and green levies that increase the end user cost of energy. It will bring energy costs down (highest in Europe)

The OP can choose to stop seeing their therapist for any reason they choose. I just happen to think this is cutting off their nose to spite their face and the posting about it (including the comments on driving an EV and having solar panels ) smacks of virtue signalling.

On lampposts. It causes damage due to additional weight and wind factors.
Anywhere very high without correct H&S precautions. A man died hanging a flag.
Near motorways and roads where they are liable to fly off and form a hazard to motorists.
Anywhere that is not set up for the purpose, or on private property with no danger to the public or wildlife.
They present a nuisance and a risk that costs the local tax payer to address.

And when the North Sea fuel is all gone, what then?

All fair points, as long as you agree that the same can be said about hanging ANY flag

I'd rather have these social insurance models than our NHS.

What a load of tosh. "Racial banter" is something that racist young boys, who possibly have been raised by racist parents, do.

I bet you minimise Kenyon's foul misogyny s banter too.

She can be of course, and the op can use someone else.

Again party wise what's racist about their policies?

All parties have had unscrupulous people at the local level.

Renewable energy is a goal but not achievable right now.
if everyone had an electric car tomorrow than the grid would not cope.
we need fossil fuels in the interim and we need them cheaply.
we need better ways of having renewable energy that doesn’t result in the deaths of African children down mines.

Exactly - would she say the same about the Green Party who have members who think Jews should be in an oven?
