I'm pretty sure that there is nothing positive about this. If the T allowed his romantic feelings for his client to allow him to be vulnerable with that client, that is abuse. A client no matter the circumstances should ever be burdened with knowing those kinds of things about a T's life. And I don't think the client should ever need to be present to '"hear" the T. And if the T allowed his romantic feelings to determine the way that therapy ended that is just irresponsible.
