I thought it was odd too at first, but not everyone has a conventional marriage, and marriage doesn't HAVE to mean monogamy. True, he can essentially say what he wants about that and I'd have to believe him. They've been together for a long time and he feels he should stay with her out of loyalty..He doesn't ever leave someone he loves unless they do something wrong.

He says he loves me, and at times I'm sure I can feel it. It just feels wrong to doubt someone on that, if he doubted that I love him I'd be so upset. In my last relationship my partner always wanted me to PROVE I loved him, this time I dont have to, he just accepts it. So I dont want to hurt him by thinking otherwise, if that makes any sense?
