I found it to be a little condescending but I brushed it off and didnt give it much more thought until I realized every session I've had he has mentioned his girlfriend one way or another. I really could care less if he talks about it, what bothers me is I get this sneaking suspicion that he is playing some kind of game with me simply because of some weirdness he has going on and the more I think about it the more I wonder how can I fully trust this situation with this going on.

That's interesting. I would have been annoyed by this response as well and felt that a simple "thank you" was enough. He may be insecure and like this with a lot of people - he feels the need for people (especially women) to know that he has a girlfriend. A mid life crisis type of thing, perhaps? You should bring it up to him, it is something he should be aware of.
