From his personal life I not much about his life/kids and nothing about his clients. So no I don't think he is crossing any boundaries but only you can tell. If you don't like his sharing tell him so.
Honesty in therapy is vital. So I would encourage you to be open about your feelings too and not use Sam instead.

Hi! Thanks for answering, I do appreciate it! I know I have to probably bring this up, but I am so embarrassed now to bring this up, cause I created a metaphor, and probably my therapist is gonna be like wtf? lol, but seriously, I don't think I can bring it up at this point. I think I dug myself a deeper hole. I am hoping that when I go to college, I won't have time for him, because I will be going to college full time, so I might be only to see once every 2 weeks, or once a month even. I currently see him twice a week. Could that be part of the problem? Also do you think that when I am in college I will be pretty much get over him? Thanks again!
