Muslim Boyfriend Has a Girlfriend

My boyfriend has had a girlfriend for almost three years. When we started our relationship, I already knew that he had a girlfriend. My friends advised me to stay away from him because I would be hurt because he will get his girlfriend from the home country soon. They are going to stay in one room and he just dumped me. I did not listen to my friends. I took a risk and continued with our relationship, hoping that he would leave his girlfriend because he loves me.

Then one day, he just told me that he has to give me up and I have to move on because his girlfriend will come in a few days. He paid all the expenses. I really felt bad about this, I cried for a couple of days. I am totally depressed.

Even though we broke up, the communication is still there and we even see each other. He still comforts me when I am feeling lonely. He wants me to move on and continue my life without him and to accept everything.

I'm so confused, because after the talk we had, after all the pain has been said, we became closer. He doesn't want me to stay away from him, he still wants to know what's going on in my life and he don't even want me to have a new boyfriend. He told me that he loves us both but he knows that he cannot have us both that's why he has to let me go because it will be unfair for me to stay with him because he has a girlfriend.

For now, we are just friends, but I am still confused about my feelings. I really love him and I want to stay with him, even though he is with his girlfriend. We had our relationship for almost two months. He is a Muslim and I am a Christian. He is always on my mind.

Sometimes, I want to accept that I'll just be his other woman and I will stay and wait until their relationship is over. I don't know what I am going to do. Should I move on or stay in love with him?

I am so confused, please help me, I need advice.
