Is the hope alive

Okay, long story. So I met this guy at work at the end of last year (it's almost been a year now). At first, we just talked and we flirted and had fun. Then, he asked for my number. Everything was pretty normal until he started texting me and then coming to see me every so often. We would talk, laugh, and what not. Then, one night I finally invited him up and we ended up having sex. I thought, okay, one night but nothing more; yet, it always ended up being that way. Eventually, I ended up going to see him at his home. I found out he had another girl who he saw off and on. He had "been" with her a year this past June but he was never 100% happy with her - so he said. He said, if I came a year earlier, there wouldnt be without a doubt that we'd be engaged by now but because she came at a time where he needed her, he was attached. He would always call me when she did something to hurt him and he'd rant about how much of a crazy immature child she is and he's really fed up with her. Now, there's also the thing that he's Latino and she is as well; I'm American. The cultures are definitely different. I ended up meeting his brother and his family and a few of his friends know about me, hearing from other sources. About two months ago, he said he was finished with her because he sees me in his future but not her and that I'm everything he wants and needs in a relationship to start a family because family is important. She's too irresponsible, so he says. I don't hear much about her for a while and I'm over his place more often now a week to the point where he even stated I should move in. Because of my past bad experiences and because of my uncertainty, I'm not doing that. Now, he also brought me flowers and saw me when he had free time as well as when I had some free time. This past weekend, I go to work and see that his face got scratched up and he told me that it's from work when, after I probed him slightly, he said she came over to talk and they got into a fight and she hit him. He said she's crazy and was completely done. Then, I see him, at work, texting and he tells me he's talking to her again, especially because he does want to keep in touch with her sister. Today, he tells me that he had a dream about her and he wants to talk to her in person one more time but everything is all right between us and nothing would change it. Should I be concerned? Am I just over thinking everything? I don't really spend time with him outside of work because he works a lot. As in, every day and then we do get together, I go to his house and we watch TV and just talk...and then eventually have sex. I'm really lost. I don't know if I should hope for this to be a lasting relationship or just break it off. Every time I try, he begs me not to go or leave him.

Drama is what it sounds like to me , he clearly isnt completely set on you for sure just not right now or he would stop all contact withh the other woman , sounds like he has a hard time making solid choices ! I can tell you this because I am getting out of a situation like yours , my husband ( William Walker ) started with me like that , watch tv , sex but he also had a meddling ex fwb that lurked in the shadows and she wouldnt give up and everytime we would split he would immediately start talking to her again and worse go live w her.but then would beg me back each time I would takke him back then it would happen again it was a continuous circle of her and him constantly being in contact w each other I shouldnve married him but I did and I finally gave up on their game and now am seeking a divorce . I feel if you dont find someone with a more solid start in a relationship your going to get hurt , you should bail now before you acquire to many feelings . Seems to me that he likes having sex with you but has her on his mind and in his heart . Have you tried secretly talking to her as to why she hits him or why they fight when she goes to his place .. Maybe theres something he isnt telling you , sounds like maybe shes in your shoes as well , maybe hes stringing both of you along and she fights with him because he isnt being honest with her about you ... And I would be curious of the fact that he can put her down to you but still keeps in contact with her because of her sister , cant her sister call him or text him herself ... Something you really should get out of !!!!
