I have absolutely NO reason to believe he may be cheating, he's affectionate, kind, caring toward me, loving, when he ISN'T hiding (which hiding has become a lot more common, now)...plus, I am desperately in love with him..
This part in your post really struck me.

You are listing the reasons the relationship is not that bad....but reading this list struck me. He does not physically hurt you or the dogs, there is not a lot of physical mess for you to clean up etc.

What about financial? What about emotional? I suspect you are worth more than a relationship that does not provide you a lot of mess to clean up after.

What kind of support do you have for you?
