Well, what I generally say in any situation is that it's best not to lie to your therapist. It's nice to want to protect him, but he really can't properly do his job if you're trying to take care of him.
At least that's what my therapist says, since I have a fair amount of caretaking impulses myself.
You don't need to leave him. But as long as he's your therapist isn't it best to be honest with him? And let him take care of his own feelings? Otherwise there's really no point in paying him.
And really this is a good topic for therapy, don't you think?
