Hello everyone, I’m new here and looking for advice on my relationship.
It’s a long story so sorry I’m advance.
I’ve been dating a wonderful lady since May 2019. We meet on a dating site chatted and then met in person a few weeks later and hit it off immediately.
We went on lots of dates to the coast and country side and I fell in love with her after a couple of months.
To put you in the picture I’m separated from my wife and my lady friend lives with her husband in a loveless marriage.
In August 2019 I was involved in a nasty motorcycle accident and spent 3 months in hospital. During this time my lady friend visited me every day that she could get there travelling to London from Kent to do so.
During my stay in hospital she told me she loved me and wanted to spend her future with me.
After I came out of hospital I had to stay at a friends bungalow as I couldn’t climb stairs, during this time my partner as she referred to herself visited and things were great in all respects including sex.
Fast forward to late February and her husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and everything changed as in she said we could only be friends now and she had to care for her husband.
At the time I said I completely understand but I’m finding it very difficult now as we still video call every day and she still says she loves me. I love this woman so very much but I feel that I’m only 2nd best now.
Please can someone advise me on this as it’s tearing me apart.
Maybe I’m being selfish I don’t know.
