Soliaree, I think it goes back to his replying "No" to whether he loves you. I think you should have discussed you idea of love and found a different word. Your T does care for you but not in the way you are putting it.

No one can care for you more than you care for yourself. That's just the way it is; because you are your own self, and no one can "top" that. The rest of us in the world are just actors on your stage (like you are an actor on each of ours). You are living your life and it is all about you, it has to be. No one else can make you feel a certain way or respond a certain way (or your T would have had you respond differently, yes?). Our feelings aren't 100% chosen but they are 100% ours and how we respond to them is 100% our choice.

Were I you, I would discuss with your T your choice of words, ask him to discuss with you why he works with you. He has to "care" in order to work with you, any money you pay him is not enough to cover being upset. Did it surprise you that he didn't terminate with you, isn't leaving you/throwing you out? Why wouldn't he if he doesn't care about you?
