Married Man Affair

I have been having an affair with a married man who looks me in the eyes and tells me he loves me, is very passionate and talks about our future together BUT first he has to let his wife cope gently (she knows about us) and he has just taken her to New York from Australia to break up. Am I an idiot to believe him? He tells me he is not attracted to her and can't sleep with her. They have no kids.
