Sometimes love isn't enough. This man that you love needs to clean up his life before you can be a part of it. Even if they fight all the time, THEY are married. Until, you accept that fact then you can't move on with your own life. You love the idea of him, but if he was yours completely maybe you would see the "real" man behind the illusion and not like him so much. End it, it can only be hurtful for you.

There is no reason to stay with a practicing alcoholic, especially if there is a child involved. You may have fallen for this man, but he is already deeply entrenched in a relationship that is both complex and tragic. If they are fighting all the time and she is drinking all the time, the child is being damaged psychologically. He should be writing asking what to do about that, not you.
As long as he continues to live with his wife "because of the child" (which is an age old excuse by the way), you will never be with him in the way you want to. Until he resolves those issues, there is no future in this relationship. Perhaps not what you want to hear, but true enough. He will string you along as long as you let him. You are quite possibly the one sane place in his life, but it is not your job to give him a safe haven. You should have your own safe haven and he isn't it.

Your first problem is that your involved with a married man. Do you know for a fact that the wife is addicted to alcohol or are you getting this information strictly from him? If the wife is an alcoholic is he trying to better the situation by getting her treatment or taking the child? I bet the answer is a financial one. Money.
Your wasting time. Is he making an effort to get out of the situation. Has he consulted a lawyer? If not, ..... end it now and get on with your life.

Don't believe everything a married man tells you about his wife, as usually they are all lies, and he just wants to keep you on the side. Sounds as if he's got some major issues & wants sympathy from you. If his wife is such a drunk, then he should take the child and leave. Nothing to stop him from doing that, except maybe the simple fact he doesn't want to. He wants his cake and to eat it too. Ditch him while you can, before your heart gets totally crushed !!

If he really wants to get out of his marriage he will. The best thing for you to do is to wait for him to be free before you enter into a relationship with him. If he really loves you, he will divorce his wife and be with you. But if he doesn't, well, you don't really need to be told what to do, you know what is the right thing to do. He has no right to string you along and give you false hope. Follow your conscience and you will go no wrong. Pray for strength and guidance.

Well then you just fall away from him. Do you really want to get with a man who could never commit to you because he has other obligations such as a WIFE!!!!! Please; his circumstances, if not complete bullsh!t, do not give him the excuse that it is okay to get involved in another serious relationship.
Get out or you are just setting yourself up for a world of hurt, pain and neglect.

He is using you. You aren't going to hear the truth from him, or he'll lose his "plaything". Do you want to be more than the doormat he wipes his problems on?
Even if he ever did leave his wife - and I doubt he ever will - he was born with a cheater's heart. He can't change his heart, he'll always find a reason to cheat on his wife, partner, whatever.

What ever is the reason, it is not good, not ethical.
If at all you really love the guy, then try to improve his wifes' problem.
If you mean real love then you should see that he becomes happy with his wife and child.
Sacrifice is the very essence of love!

Of course he's going to give you the sob story of how terrible things are at home so you'll feel sorry and continue a relationship with him. Don't be so naive, run hard run fast and NEVER get involved with a married man no matter what!!

obviously you are not from this country so you are easy pickings for the vultures out there.
You are a foreign, wet behind the ears piece of ***, it's really the best situation a cheating married man could dream for. For him it's as if Christmas has COME early...excuse the pun. ;-)
Good luck with that.
