It's complicated - insight needed

He acted like he didn't expect I am seeing him this way but he's incredibly happy I do.

So he is flattered by your devotion but he hasn’t stated he wants the same, or maybe he has but describes so many roadblocks that he clearly doesn’t

Ok, I mentioned earlier she depends on him but I think it's more in terms of services than financially.

She can easily pay her way, if she wants to

It's hard to follow your thread because nothing is clear.

The entire thing is atypical, not withstanding the way that you talk in riddles, offer these trickle truths, and have stuck around for so long and still have the expectation that this is still going to work out and be what you want it to be…

Guys, he’s sexually fine (physically) but his preferences and ways to approach are atypical. That’s all. 

And this atypical "non sex" is fine with you, or are you seeking to change that too?

Really?  You are probably doing his wife a favor by having sex with him.  No wonder she doesn't care.

It very well could be or he really didn't know. As you see (lol) I am not communicating very clearly here and I am afraid I confused him to some extent. Examples: I took over an year to reciprocate his ILY. I am verbally very limited with my love expressions. I never brought up future in concrete terms. 

Just reading what I wrote, I am convinced to big extent I shot myself in the foot by being so vague with him :(

Ok then help me to make it clear. Shall I write a summary or what? I am not joking I don't know how to make it clear (without blasting our entire life stories here)

Yeah I guess. I am trying to get in rails.

I love your signature btw. That's exactly how I feel.

It's perfectly fine with me but I can see why it won't be for the majority of women out there. It is just another aspect of what makes us a "bonded pair"

If all of this is true then how did you get the notion that he will marry and start a family with you?

Seriously you should inform the wife of your affair because with this new revelation she may tell you to go ahead, with blessings.

By multiple things that were implied. And there is a whole world beyond words - actions, body language, etc.

LOL I wish it was that simple. Or maybe it is.
He shared a thing or two with her (adult) son and he wasn't impressed to put it mildly from what I've learned (sexual stuff not our relationship obviously)

Yes and there's a difference between implications and facts.  You are trying to build a life on implications.

I don't see them as red flags but as parts of his history, that's all.

This comes back to what I saying before. You have no boundaries and will overlook everything if it means you can keep him in your life.

If he is in fact still married, and his wife is aware of this as you think you she is, then you and his wife apparently have a lot in common. Funny how well that works out for him.

Ah I meant if her response anything like her kids, she is probably prudish in regards to his sexual preferences. So she might be indeed happy to get rid of him.

What is it you want, Tam? 

Him at any and all costs? 

If so, then I would just go about as you have been doing and wait until he decides, if he decides to divorce.

I don't think any grown man wants to hear any sort of sex talk from the man who is banging his mother. That's gross and disgusting.

Unfortunately at this point that's what I'm thinking too.

I'm spinning here a little because now the ball is in his court and I am waiting for his answers (which as you probably guessed - will take a bit of time)

But it might be also good for me to stop overthinking or I'll drive myself insane.

This is just weird, sorry. 

Why the hell would he share his sexual preferences with his step-son?

As an attempt of "guy talk" -to try to form some friendship connection which obviously failed

More likely the son was just put off by his stepfather’s oversharing. They really had such a conversation? I don’t think you can infer anything from a situation that must have been weird and uncomfortable for the stepson.

Sports is the obvious topic here. Politics isn’t a great choice these days but way better than sex, given their relationship. Is MM on the autism spectrum? (Several members of my family are, not judging, just curious)

I don't think he considers him a "stepfather", they are at similar age and got married the same year. The attempted dynamics was friendship, I wouldn't have done that but again, I am not him,
