Your therapist wants you to tell him you hate him? I would think that would bring a level of intensity and engagement to your relationship that would be undesirable. Distancing yourself sounds far more pleasant.
The determinedly oblivious can be maddening. Make sure you hold the boundaries firm about visiting. This is your sanctuary; don't let bad feelings into it. Let them stay at a motel and meet them somewhere neutral.
He sounds like his life is too darn good for me to give my usual annoying person advice. "Aren't you glad you aren't him? Imagine being with him 24/7." But it sounds like he's happy enough.
Life ain't fair...
