Is he being sincere?

I reconnected with an old flame after breaking up with my sons dad. we even met up and he told me he was single but living with his children’s Mum and would be moving out shortly.
He has a son and a set of twin girls the same age as my son (4’). His son is a teenager and from a previous relationship but lives with him.

We ended up falling in love and he declared it first. We talked on the phone all the time and he even helped me with my business. He became distant at one point and that’s when I realised he was not as single as he claimed . He explained he had never met anyone like me and it’s the finances and the kids that he will be upsetting if he left with his son who only knows this woman as a Mum etc. he knows he has to leave but does not know when.

He said no one has ever been there for him like me and his never been in this situation before. He doesn’t want me to say wait but this is his truth and he does want to be with me.

I saw a psychic who said that there is nothing going on between him and the woman he lives with just co parenting. I really love this man and don’t know what to do.

I would like to hear some opinions or experiences. I’m not waiting for him to leave so we have stopped contact but is he worth the wait or an old wives tale?

I wouldn't tell him to come and find you when he's single. You wouldn't want a cheat for a partner.

He just needs time as his stuck in a rut.

Yup.

You all have really handed me my ass on this one. Maybe I was a mug but it has certainly made me stronger and i feel much more of a dislike for him. I guess I am kinda shocked at the level someone could go through to be dishonest that i couldn’t believe it or see it clearly.

OP, I think you must be new to Mumsnet. Every week another deluded OW turns up and asks if her affair partner really loves her. The answer is always no. The man never ever leaves his partner for her. Do a quick search and you’ll see the same thing again and again.

And seriously, do you actually want an arsehole like this in your life? Who knows what happened to the first mum (but willing to bet he cheated on her) and now he’s talking about breaking up his kids’ home again! Leaving this woman with twins? Do you even understand how much work and money that is for her? He’s enough of a creep to be sleeping with you in the background, and now this marriage nonsense? He’s playing you like a fiddle.

Generally OWs who believe all this stuff are not very bright, but then you mentioned the psychic and removed all doubt. Let us all do you a favour and spell it out because you seem to have trouble putting 2 and 2 together:

You are his bit on the side and nothing more. He does not love you. He is a cheating bastard and he will not leave his partner.

Grow a brain and some self respect.

Ok and after your update I’m sorry for being so harsh.

LineyS · 26/01/2018 01:27

Ah hell, OP, he's not the one for you. I'm so glad you've had some harsh-but-sensible advice. Be happy - without this mess.

hellsbellsmelons · 26/01/2018 08:23

And even if it's all true and you marry him.
Do you want 3 step kids???
YOUNG step kids!??
Really think this through.
And once again - tell him you want to talk to his OH and ask her about the situation.

kcm17 · 26/01/2018 09:15

Please read my post properly before you comment because your response shows you have not got a brain and I can’t be bothered to explain when it’s all there in writing

Are you the gullible type? Never believe anything a man tells you let alone some loon looking into the palm of your hand. Men like him have one aim and will say anything to get it!

You know these lines he's spinning to you are the oldest, most cliche ridden lies in the book.

Don't fall for them. Don't waste your life waiting round for him

It's not a grand passion for him. It's a have-my-cake-and-eat-it game

BitOutOfPractice · 26/01/2018 09:23

Sorry I've just seen you have cut him off. Good for you. He's an utter knob and you deserve so so much more

SandyY2K · 26/01/2018 09:36

Does he have a timeline to move out yet?

How will he marry you while he's still with her?

Try sitting down and express your concerns to him.

Thete are occasions people are in house separated, but I'm not sure if this is a genuine case.

Have he and her agreed they can see other people as they are separated?
