This is a cruel situation for you as you are basically accepting the other woman into your life with your boyfriend. As much as you love him, this sounds like torture for you.

When my wife started dating another man I loved her so much I also was willing to accept the relationship and take the scraps that I received from her. This was very damaging to my self-esteem, and ws torture, and it just ended with her leaving me for him ayway.

in this scenario, you may endure this painful arrangement and he may eventually leave you for the other woman anyway.

Cheaters are not regular folk, they are able to lie and be callous to someone who loves them. In some ways, they LIKE THIS arrangement and feel a sense of power from it. how are you going to feel when you realize yo are not a flesh/blood person, but a pawn playing a role.

I think you should start dating on the side and not tell him and find someone who wants you. Your love will fade.
good luck
