I usually do take time to think before making decisions. However, I'm finding that I can be my worst enemy. For instance, the last guy I was seeing I got upset because I felt we weren't spending enough time together. I was able to think through it a bit and thought even a little bit of time together is better than nothing. Then it evolved into "well if he were actually interested in me he would want to spend as much time with me as I do him. Especially since he says he would see me every day if he could and is talking about a future together". And then I lose control of it.

You have insight into what you are doing wrong, so take some time before making decisions, so that you begin to change your behavior that is destructive. Can't you still see him? Tell him what you said here...as I said, it is the client who decides when to leave, NOT the therapist.
