Not sure why you think that just because Hot Chocolate is trying to take the time to adjust to his divorce and become the best man that he can be, automatically means this relationship has an expiration date??? I'd take it to mean he really bent his rules for you because he finds you so attractive, and if you can just give him the time and space to process what he needs to process you may well end up in a great relationship with a thoughtful, responsible self-aware man (who happens to be great in bed!).
