it's unethical to know a client's personal details. A therapist should never ask who she had an affair with.

And as a therapist myself, I would just still treat it as I am unaware and let things blow up on its own.
@in10RjFox It's possible that this could have come up as the therapist routinely went about her working day, though. Maybe the therapist didn't ask and the client offered up the right information for the therapist to guess who it is???

@HootyTheNightOwl quite possible. The client could have also consulted the therapist knowing fully well who she is, as her lover may have wondered how to break the news to his wife.

She can order an investigation to know if she consulted her knowingly and sue both for professional damage.
@in10RjFox Alternatively, it could be a stalker who pretended to be a client and made up the story to get the therapist to divorce, too.

I certainly wouldn't be looking at getting a divorce if my sole evidence is just what I learned from doing my job.

There's just too many gaps in the story that could be wrong when we're only going by the headline.

@HootyTheNightOwl yes. That's a wiser thing to do. Any marriage is a case to case basis. The mistake many make is to just react based on the news just to punish, but end up punishing themselves and ruining their life and repenting all life.

Smart are those who ensure that their life is safe and just close one eye
