Forgive me as I may be in an ultra cynical mood, but it all sounds horribly familiar and I fear you are being chumped. I think AS has analysed his words pretty spot on.
It’s not for everyone but I found both reality and humour in the ‘leave a cheater, gain a life’. I thought my sitch was unique and he was different because of the ‘ i have always loved you and will always love you’ speech that I got several times. Unfortunately it was straight out of the cake eating handbook and designed to keep me dangling whilst he still contacted OW. He asked me to wait and give him time to grieve for his affair etc etc etc.
Hope is good but remember that he is a master manipulator and liar. You need a lot more than a few easy words of sorry. He’s got a long way to go yet.
