It sounds to me like the guy is not happily married, or maybe it took him cheating to realize that he is, either way that is not your concern. But what I will say is this. I know right now it feels as though there was a connection, and maybe there was for you, but in order for it to be completely satisfying it has to be for him as well, and it sounds to me that it isn't. You have to ask yourself do you love him, or do you love the idea of him. Are you hoping for the happy ending that you feel another woman already has. Are you pining over the fact that he loves his wife enough to not be with you, does that in itself make you want him more. If the reasons are yes, then ask yourself this if you love this man because of his devotion to his family, if he left his family for you, then wouldn't you be destroying the very essence of why you fell for him. Maybe this happened to prepare you for what a real relationship without the fantasy really means. What you need to focus on is what you want, and how to achieve this not in your mind, but in your reality. The only way you can do this is to let go of him, so you can embrace yourself, and move on. I know you are hurting, because of the lack of, but through that hurt is where you will find strength and clarity to better your decision making..
I wish you well
