I think this is a totally valid thing to bring up again in therapy. He's the one who volunteered the info about your town not being ideal for him. I'd definitely have started having the same type of thoughts that you are having. Which is not to say that his words necessarily mean that he might move. But it's an issue for me as well. And if I was doing therapy with someone who I wasn't sure would stick around, personally I'd definitely start making plans to transfer to someone who seems more stable. But that's just me and my personal issues.
Maybe working on that fear can be a really productive thing for you (and for me!). Because, really, people are going to leave us in our lives, on purpose or not. It's kind of part of life to some extent, I think.
