Maybe HE's attracted to YOU and he's really just reminding himself that he has a girlfriend?
Transference goes both ways...
Your reality, though, is that it takes focus away from you and you are paying him for his focussed attention- tell him how you feel about it.
If you're uncomfortable with confrontations of any kind- like I am- do what others here have done and write it down. You can hand it to him when you're leaving from the next session. If HE feels it should be discussed, he'll bring it up in the next session. Frankly, IMO, he should suck it up, and concede to your wishes without ever mentioning it again. Then again, I live in fantasyland most of the time, so maybe he will want to talk...
