Best friends with a married man so will he ever leave his wife? Is it because of money?

A female age 51-59, *eartisin2 writes:

I am a 37 yo woman with 3 children who has been married for 18 years and my marriage was over for months before I met this married man who said his marrieage ended a year before that too. We became best friends and helped each other through our ending marriages for 7 months. He does not have children with his wife, and he travels nine months out of the year as a contractor. Our relationship grew faster than either one of us expected, and he approached his wife for divorce with papers and began the process. She ultimately learned about me and increased the settlement. Throughout the negotiations we continued to meet and talk for hours daily, and his wife new of our interactions. The final papers were delivered and he decided he was going to give it a shot with his wife. His brother and close friends all believe he is not happy with his wife and is sooo scared by the amount of the settlement, but should I wait for him to come back? What does it say about his commitment to me, if money is what deterred him from following through with our plans even if we knew it would be hard at first?
