should i stay or say goodbye to him?

OK, i was with him for 8 years and we were engaged and i totally trusted him. i thought he was always there for me. the first 6 years were great and we were both happy. than i went back to school and became busy and he was working alot. he still came over reguarly and we talked on the phone frequently ( several times a day.) i really believe he loved me but thought that i was pushing him away. than he started going to colorado (12,000 miles from home) he loved to go to the mountains and he was looking to buy land there so we could build a house on eventually. i had expressed to him several times that i dont know if i even wantd to live on Co. well he did buy land there and he often went the over the next two years. well we eventually broke up. he called me 2 years later and asked me to meet up with him and i said no. than another two years went by and he called again and i agreed to go out with him. he tells me he has been living in Co. for 4 years now with another women and that there relationship has onlly been business for the past 1 1/2 years due to they own the house together. well he has been here 3x to visit in last 6 mos. and we have been serious and making plans for future and talking marriage. well, my suspecious side decided to call the lady he lives with and she did confirm alot. for ex. they have had problems for last 1 1/2 years and she also told me that the last two years of mt 1st relationsip with him ( when he was going back and forth to Co.) that they had been in a relationship that he was only staying with my for my daughters sake. she also said the last time they were intimate was 3 mos. ago and it was like a chore for him. 3 mos. ago is when him and i became intimate again. she also confirmed that their has been talk about them selling the house and moving on. but she is hurt by this because she had no idea i was in the picture ( she did have suspection that he was seeing someone- but didnt know for sure.) she believed that they could work it out though,\. well now that she knows about me she dosent know what she wants to do (as it working it out with him or not). i dony know the truth if he wants to stay with her or be with me. well he says he loves me and always has that he never stopped loving me and that he only moved on to her b/c he thought i didnt want him before. and now that we have been together he can never let me go again, he says he just needs to stay there and sell his house b/c he does not trust her to sell it due to she wants to keep the house-but she is not able to buy him out of it. he says he has to stay and sell, so his credit does not get distroyed. he wants me to wait for him so he can sell house and come to me. but he says if she knows im still in the picture she wont agree to the sale of the house. well what do you think is this a bunch of bullshit or do you think i should wait? i did fall for him again, like a fool. should i move on or wait?

Why on earth would you actually want him back? He cheated on you in the past (for 2 years) and pretty much ditched you. He bought a house with another woman very shortly after, if not before he actually even broke up with you. Why would you want to marry someone who doesn't value you or consider you as part of the decisions he makes? Now that things aren't working out between his current, he started cheating on her with you and he lied to you about that. You knew you couldn't trust him so you called his "ex" to learn the truth and they've only been non-physical for the past 3 months, as opposed to the 1 1/2 year story he told you. This guy sounds like a total a-hole that uses women. He's got tons of excuses for needing to stay up there which is total BS and not even relevant to you. There's no way you could ever trust him. He's just going to end up cheating on you again. Why would you set yourself up for that? Seriously do yourself a favor and drop him and all of his non-committal cheating drama and never agree to see him again.

Move on. It is a huge red flag that he is blaming you for the past break up and now when he can't make it work with this woman he comes running back to you. I think this guy is confused and can't commit and if you find yourself engaged to him again, he'll cut and run like he did before. It has nothing to do with you and only to do with him.
