How do I know if he loves me or what?
I met an amazing guy last summer. We really seemed to hit it off and dated for about 4 months. He started getting distant and when i confronted him about it he said things were going too fast. He was working too much and needed time to work on him. I told him to go see other people and figure it out. a couple months later he gets hurt on the job and starts texting me again. I go to check on him and we start talking. I told him that i would rather have him just as a friend than not have him at all. He started hanging out again taking our kids places together (he has 1 and I have 2). Then right before christmas he starts seeing someone (didn't tell me) and disapears again. No texts no calls nothing. I would have been ok with that since I had been talking to someone and he knew that. Towards the end of Jan he gets hurt again at work. He texts me and asks for help. I did not respond for a few days. I had told him before if he ever needed anything I would be there so I relented and called. It took a couple of weeks to nurse him back to work and now he is texting everyday. Valentines weekend we slept together and have a couple times since. Now i am even more confused than ever. He is the kind of person that makes me want to be a better person. He had said before that we 'just clicked'. I don't want to push him but i want to know where we are. Is it just friends with benefits or what? I will intentionally go all day and night without calling or texting him and he will call me first thing the next morning to see how I am. Can someone please give me some advice on this.

I agree with Lyz. He calls you when he needs you to keep you on a string but disappears when he's seeing another woman. When it doesn't work out and he needs something he calls you back. He isn't sincere in his feelings for you. Sorry to say, you're just a back up rebound girl.
Oh man, I hope I am wrong but this sounds like he is just doing what he has to do to keep you on the line until another girl comes along. If he is willing to just drop you with no notice to see another girl, then he does not look at your relationship with any intention of proceeding seriously. He is just being a player. Move on, you need something more stable for your children and while the attention he lays on you is nice, it doesn't seem sincere.
