I don't think you're being entirely truthful about your feelings. I think you DO want him to leave his wife and be with you. You DO want him to have deeper feelings for you. You're posting as though you're fine with things as they are, but more than likely you're playing by his rules because you'd rather have the crumbs he's offering you rather than nothing at all. So instead of going out and finding a love of your own, you've spent 7 years with a man who can't offer you a committed, respectable relationship.
You think he can't do without you? Let his wife find out about this affair and you'll find out how expendable you are.

 You dont want to marry this man, you dont want him to leave his wife, you dont even want to involve the "love" word in your relationship...so basically you want the physical presence of this man and the sex.
How does that sound to you?Obviously its not right, because both of you want the best of everything and a "convenient" relationship. Have you ever thought about why he doesn't ever want to say that he "loves" you? Because deep down he knows that this is wrong, and he doesn't want to feel guilty about the fact that he's a married man who's in love with another woman.
You are not married, but this man is. Dont do this to his wife.You are the other woman here and thats never a good place to be in.Let him work at his broken marriage; saying that he is not intimate with his wife doesn't make things any better, nor is it a reason for either of you to have an affair. Get away from all this.

Politically correct: You're doing the wrong thing.
The truth: This is absolutely disgusting. Shame shame shame on both of you to have carried on like this for nine years. Horrible!
Any questions?

 cheating is never the right thing to do. period. so ya, you're doing the wrong thing here.
Side question, if you don't want a serious future with this man then why are you sleeping with him? he's married...let him fix his broken marriage and step away. Don't be the other woman, its never a good role to play.
