Hi Confused,

I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest you to get the hell out of this situation. Yeah, I think you should move on and not waste any of your time on this "relationship" nonsense. This is one of the things that enrage me about the current system - the fact that this kind of nonsense is an acceptable "therapeutic" approach. This is also one of the things that harmed me a great deal in my own therapy because I went along with the idea that the "relationship" should be "explored" even when it was at the expense of neglecting everything else I came to get help with. I really hope you won't let yourself to get sucked into that swamp, especially when it feels wrong to you already. If the therapist can't or won't provide the type of help you are looking for, don't second guess yourself. Just leave and keep looking for what you need. You are a consumer and it's your call to continue with the service or not.

If you want more input or elaboration, you may PM me. I am not in the mood for public debates on this subject. I just wanted to give you my support since you asked for it. I do hope it came across that way.
