Am I wasting my time??

I’ve been in a relationship for 6 years now, 3 children between us. We spilt up a few years back because he wasn’t showing me any commitment, one of the big things was not having any intention of divorcing his ex. Fast forward a few months and we got back together with the understanding that he would sort his divorce. The divorce looked to be in hand and we, very quickly, got engaged and looked to plan a wedding…. Then the divorce process stopped due to him not bothering with pursuing it any further. 3 years later and he still hasn’t done anything about it. We’ve had many conversations and just a lot of empty promises.
On top of the hurt it has caused me, I feel I’m wasting my time and that this will never change.

What do you mean by 3 kids between you? Do you mean you both have a child/children separately or do you have any joint children as well?

Tbh I find the idea of being in a relationship let alone being engaged to a married man utterly bizarre and highly undesirable.

But yes you’re wasting your time. Next time find a single unmarried man.

3 years and he can’t be bothered to do something about it? Sorry but you are wasting your time

He's married and doesn't want to stop being married, sorry.

If he wanted to marry you he would have done that. Not sitting out his divorce is showing you exactly what kind of waste of time he used to.
