He's with the boss' daughter, but he wants me!

Dear Ask 3 Guys,

This is a long story, so bear with me fellas. I went to one of my friends work place about three weeks ago. I noticed a fairly attractive guy there so I asked her about him. She told me he was dating the boss' daughter, and had been for eight years. (This boy is only nineteen, btw.) I didn't bother asking anymore questions, I just let it go. My friend, against my wishes, told John* I thought he was cute. He got my number and called me that night on his way home from work. He explained to me that he wanted to get to take things slow & get to know me. This isn't something I normally do so I told him up front that I wasn't a blow up doll he could use whenever he wanted. He told me he wasn't looking for sex, he really wanted to get to know me. So, I gave him a chance. For about two weeks we spent a lot of time just talking. He explained to me that him & his girlfriend had been together since he was eleven. She was his first love, but they have had a rocky relationship. Over the past two years she has cheated on him five times. Please take into consideration that he works for her family & they do have a child together. After about three weeks, he finally kissed me. Around a week after that, things got sexual. We have been talking for over two months. He comes to see me every night. His girlfriend knows what is going on. He's told her that he wants to break up. (I have heard it with my own ears.) But, still nothing has happened. She won't leave, & he's not going to leave the house he pays for. I'm trying to be patient, but it seems to me like I'm wasting my time. I don't do well with sharing, any advice boys?

Dear B & P,

Ronnie's Take:

I've heard the "she won't leave" story on many occasions. It's really quite common. It never ends good. Tell him he knows where to find you when he clears up his situation. He might be a great guy. He might really love you. He'll find a way to solve this to be with you. I promise if he really wants you, he will try harder if he doesn't have you any more, versus if he is still has you waiting for him.

Victor's Take:

You ARE wasting your time.

She cheated on him FIVE times, and he still hasn't left her? I don't care if he works for her Dad, I don't care if they have 5 children together, do self respect and dignity not have a place in this world?

The dude has no self respect and no self esteem. He needed an advocate - someone to make him feel better about himself so that he can endure the daily grind at work and at home that is his miserable life. You are now his advocate. How's that working for you?

He is not moving out, he is not leaving his wife, and he is not quitting his job - no matter how nice and good you are to him, no matter how good you lay him.

You are wasting your time. Cut the cord and move on.

Eddie's Take:

You are in a no-win situation until he grows the balls to kick her out. Apparently, he is worried about jeopardizing his job if he ends it. If he chooses to remain miserable to keep his job, then that is his dilemma. Do not allow him to continue getting the best of both worlds. If you keep seeing him, he will think that you are okay with that, and he will never take action.

Just draw a line in the sand, and let him know that you refuse to be on the back burner. I am sure that it will be difficult with him, but you do not deserve to be second to someone that he is not even in love with. If he is worried about his job, then he needs to starting pursuing other career options.

The bottom line is that you just have to let him figure this out on his own. If he misses you, he will be more likely to stop procrastinating. Love is powerful, so just sit back and see what happens.
