Advice please

My partner and I left our respective partners to be together after having an affair. We have known each other for 30 years but only started an affair a few months ago. Neither of us are going back to our old partners, both our marriages were very poor. We see each other 4 or 5 times a week. He does not want to live with me but wants to continue seeing me. We are such good friends and talk about so many things. We respect and love each other. I don't want to rush him and I want to give him as much time as he need. Am I being a fool or is there hope for us?

If he left his wife for you - I would say yes. But there might always be that thought in the back of your head "If he could cheat on his wife - could he cheat on me" That is something you are going to have to figure out if its worth working out together.
