I am so glad I found this forum. Even if it is just to be able to tell someone,  anyone.  
I'm in a situationship with a man, we'll call Eros, who has a long time girlfriend that he has told me he will never leave. They do not live together but spend most weekends together.  
I love our relationship. 
We met about 3 years ago as I was planning a trip and his family is from there so our mutual friend introduced us. We obviously got along very well. At the time I was married,  and when he propositioned me I declined as I love my husband.  
Fast forward to 18 months later my husband was an alcoholic,  got very sick and died by suicide.  I got a job in the same place our mutual friend worked so I reached out to Eros to say thanks for all the help planning my trip, my life imploded and if he still wanted to meet I'd be open to meeting with him.
We have been seeing each other ever since. Its sporadic due to his work, but he calls, texts or emails me practically every day. Sex is off the charts amazing,  friendly banter is fantastic and I say he keeps me together like twine and drying glue. 
We could never be really together,  I know that, even if he wasn't with his SO , financially, geographically and his religion culture are not in synch at this time. I do believe in some parallel universe we are blissfully together.  
I have already told him when his SO and him move in together I am out of the relationship.
Until then, I am enjoying every moment of attention from this amazing man There truly isn't another unique individual out there like him. And I have no regrets. Life is meant to be Lived and well loved.

Welcome Dayna! I remember when I first found this site and it was such a lifeline for me when I was the OW to MM. Now, we are boyfriend/girlfriend and we are very very happy with one another. But the support I received here kept me sane throughout the whole process. 

From your post, you seem to be content and happy with where you two are. I'm happy to hear you found something that works for you. Let us know how we can best support you. If you just want a listening ear, to gush about your relationship, changes in the dynamic, etc.. We're here for you. Thanks your sharing.

That in bold, I completely understand. When you have that, you make it work. After two decades, we still can’t stay away from each other.

Glad you found us. Heart
No regrets
