I truly love him and he loves me, we together for 5 years. But he is a married man with 2 kids. Should I wait for him to marry me one day?

Dear friend, I understand that you are in a difficult situation. It's never easy to be in love with someone who is already married and has children. It's natural to feel conflicted and confused about what to do. On the one hand, you love this man and want to be with him. On the other hand, you know that he has other commitments and responsibilities that he cannot simply walk away from. It's a tough spot to be in, and I want to offer you my support and empathy.
From a Buddhist perspective, we are taught to practice compassion and non-harm towards all beings. This means that we should strive to minimize suffering for ourselves and others. In this case, the man you love is already in a committed relationship with another person, and to pursue a relationship with him would likely cause harm and suffering to his wife and children. It's important to consider the impact of our actions on others and to act with wisdom and compassion.
From a psychological perspective, it's important to examine our own motivations and desires. What is it about this man that you love? Is it his personality, his qualities, his values? Or is it simply the idea of being in a relationship with him that appeals to you? It's important to be honest with ourselves about our own motivations and desires, and to make sure that we are not simply pursuing a relationship out of a sense of loneliness or desperation.
In terms of coaching advice, I would encourage you to take some time to reflect on your own values and priorities. What kind of relationship do you want to have? What kind of person do you want to be? It's important to be clear about what you want and to pursue relationships that are aligned with your values and priorities. If being in a relationship with a married man is not aligned with your values, then it's important to be honest with yourself and to move on. It may be painful in the short term, but in the long run, you will be happier and more fulfilled in a relationship that is based on honesty, trust, and mutual respect.
