Please I Need Advice

-

IAM a 49-year-old divorced lady. Four months ago, I met this cool man in a get together party. We met several times for casual drinks and dinners before forming a relationsh­ip.

We now meet up most nights from Monday to Friday and really enjo y each other’s company. He goes somewhere else every weekend.

I was a bit suspicious that he might be married and when I asked him few weeks ago, he was very forthcomin­g and admitted that whilst he is unmarried, he has been in a long-term relationsh­ip with someone for the past eight years. He apologised for his deceit and explained that he has a partner, though not legally married, since he was betrayed by his ex. This partner, according to him, though they love each other, but she has a debilitati­ng illness and that they have been virtually estranged for years and have not had a sexual relationsh­ip for a very long time.

He said he does not love her anymore, but feels responsibl­e for her. She lives in a house he bought some time ago and he pities her state of health and cannot just abandon her like that.

I love him and I dream of a fantastic future with him, but I believe he needs to face up to his responsibi­lities and be accountabl­e for the situation he has found himself. My first marriage ended very badly and it took a lot of courage to get involved in a relationsh­ip again and I feel I need to thread carefully for fear of losing him. Any advice would be welcome. with him?
