It will be tough, but you need to move on and you should move on.  The bond between husband and wife is often very strong; but a lot of times the relationship between a father-son/daughter is what will keep marriages together; and you will never want to compete with that.

 

I think (from experience) that he was being honest with you, but when push comes to shove, the family bond/obligation is stronger than anyone can imagine.

 

Get over him now while you can so that you can work on building a healthy relationship of your own.  And if you have any faith in God, ask Him to help you.  If you don't you will only end up being miserable sitting around reacting/responding when he's ready to talk with you, see you, etc. with you.

 

Also, do not sit around doing nothing because it will only cause you to miss and long for him.  Get out and do things you like to do and with people you like or meet new people.
