My boyfriend and I started a relationship after a year he was separated from his ex wife. He left his ex wife because he caught her cheating. At first I didn't want to get involved with him because he wasn't divorced and he has an 8 year old son, it just seemed like it was too much. For some reason I ended up saying yes to him and we've been together for almost a year, we've never been happier and I have a great relationship with his son. He filed for divorce a few days ago because we want to get marry. The thing is that the lawyer told him that he couldn't be in a public relationship because she could use that to her advantage. He says he doesn't care if she takes everything from him but he wants me to be with him.
