I think it's great that you recognize that your partnership with this guy is a detriment to the game. It sounds like you should let the assignor know right away. I don't think you should be removed, just make sure that you two no longer work games together.
Officiating should not be a burden. We don't make nearly enough money to go into a game feeling like "damn, I don't want to do this".
Hopefully you have an assignor that doesn't see this in a negative way.
