I've been keeping an eye on this thread for a while all the time knowing that I would post to it but wondering what I would post.
Whether a relationship with an SP and a client would work cannot be generalized in my opinion. Like Miss J says, it is much too complicated and depends on the circumstances specific to the individuals involved as well as to the individuals themselves.
Factoring in such variables as current relationship status, whether children are involved, ages, whether the individuals live in close proximity to their families and friends, the types of personalities they have, etc. etc.
Relationships would vary from couple to couple with different parameters for each. Mutual RESPECT and TRUST would be the two deciding factors on whether such a relationship would work or should even be attempted!
Nothing is impossible but certain things are extremely unlikely!
Good one father Mars Man. Isn't that white collar a bitch when you have barber's itch?
