RomanceClass.com AdviceThe first thing he should do is to see a lawyer and find out just how bad he would be hit financially if he left his wife.
Meanwhile, you have little choice but to hang loose and see what develops.
He seems to love you, but if he can't afford to leave his wife then that puts an end to it.
If he moved in with you, would that solve the financial problems?
Best of luck to you!
