My relationship! Help me, Give me advice

I have a boy friend fo so long a long distance relationship. A few months of our relationship, I found out to him that he has a a wife for the past and he is applying for annulment with his wife. They had a child and it is a boy. They been abandon by his wife. My boyfriend is a Chief mate for cargo shipping lines. He is 35 years old now and im 25 years old working in an office as a Travel consultant.
I love him so much and i also feel that love from him but its a little. Our relationship is not open with his family member and also to my family because its too complicated.
Am I going to fight for him?

You know what. This made me remember my own long distance love before. Years back when I was so in love with this guy whose miles away from me. We chatted almost everyday, and during those times, there were voice chatting and we exchanged love messages and laughing together; having conversations hours and hours. And when it was the real time for him to come down to my country and meet me for the first time, he chickened out. I called his hotel room umpteenth time and he just chickened out. The reception told me that he had checked out. He apologized months later saying that he was a jerk. Long distance love just doesn't work for me. But I do know some that work out.

Is this still a long distance relationship? He deceived you during your whole relationship. What's to say he's not doing it now and that he won't do it again. It's hard enough to tell what's going on when you're in the same city, how can you even tell what the truth is when you're not? This also needs to be handled very carefully because a child is involved. It's a very sad story if it's true. But if it's true, why didn't he tell you in the first place?! My advice is to take a big step back. He has a lot of stuff to deal with and you know what, your "relationship" certainly can't move forward until he takes care of that. When/if he takes care of that I hope he makes a true effort to win you back AND be open with his family!!!! Stay strong. We all deserve the best!

i think that you should have known about the marriage so you could have decided if you wanted to be in that relationship before you fell in love with him. it's unfair to you ,however if you want to stay because you love him then do that

I always tell everyone love is a strange thing. But my thing in your case is I'm thinking if this was true he would have told you all this before you all got serious. This is alot to take in. I would say protect your heart but keep him around and see how it pans out.

This is really complicated just would hate to see u wasted talk things over with him and take it from there otherwise i think you should move on
It wont be easy but you will survive

I think you should hang in there, he obviously has a lot on his plate right now.
Talk as much as u can with him, and try to be supportive, and it all might pan out in the end.
i think patience on your side might be the key in the long run.
Good luck.

Ok, this is going to sound kind of harsh...Let him go. He wasn't honest with you from the word go, even when he gets the annulment, he's still going to have his child. This situation is just filled with drama, and may very well cost you a good chunk of self esteem. Granted all I know about it is what you posted, and my advise is only based on that. Good luck to you.
