I think "old T" can handle the rural Virginia lifestyle, etc. And you can read in your own words how unhelpful it is to continue to see "current T" for friendship, on several levels, not least of which is paying for therapy you're not getting. You're much better going for the real deal every other week than going every week and getting no therapy at all out of it.
As for your boyfriend situation, I understand your worry that right now he is your whole social life and that you'd lose this. But I think this is one of those perhaps rare relationships that could actually be dialed back to "just friends." And there's no reason at all you can't meet other people (both for friendship and "more"). You haven't known him from birth, right?
