How long should I wait for an affair partner?

I'm single, and I've been having an affair with my boss at work since three months ago. A month ago, my boss said he really wanted to get married to me, and it seems that he told his wife that he wanted to get divorced (it seems that the wife tells her that there are other people she likes.) My wife, who heard that, went back to her parents' house, so they are currently separated. It's hard to think he's lying from our interactions up until now.
I really want to get married to him too. I'm also prepared to pay millions of yen in alimony.
It can be mentally tough to endure this unstable state, and I told him last week that I want them to get divorced within six months. His wife is currently pregnant and is expecting a child in two months. It seems that they have discussed divorce twice, but since they are pregnant, they were told yesterday that it would take time until the divorce.
I know I'm doing something I shouldn't do, but I have a strong desire to marry him. I am filled with anxiety every day, such as how long this unstable relationship will last, and whether his feelings will change his mind (if a child is actually born, feelings will spring up). I know that if you don't get divorced within six months of the promise, you should break up, but I also know that a divorce within six months is not realistic considering that your wife is actually pregnant. I don't know how long I should wait from now on or how I should feel. I'm sorry for the incoherent question, but I'd like to share this feeling with someone.
Now that divorce discussions have begun in earnest, considering the risk of alimony, I will not have a physical relationship with him until the divorce is finalized, and I intend to reduce the frequency of meetings.
I would be grateful if you could give me any advice.

Please make a firm decision

I read it.
I read that you are very anxious and worried. I don't know the details about you, that person, or your wife, but I feel that you can also understand the feelings you want to say with anxiety. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
If you are in such a situation, you probably have no idea what will happen in the future or what to do.
If you trust that person and wait, that's probably your will, and it's your choice.
If your wife is pregnant, it's hard to know what will happen until delivery.
In any case, I pray that your wife stays at rest and gives birth safely.
Also, please have a firm relationship with you and that person; please make a decision by talking clearly without lying.
I think it's unavoidable that you become anxious because it's the result of such things and relationships.

Both you and that person should face the future firmly and consider your own path of life before making a choice.

Again, I sincerely pray to the Buddha, God, and your ancestors that your wife will give birth safely and that both mother and child will be blessed with a really important relationship and that you, your wife, and your children will be blessed with a really important relationship and can live a healthy and happy life with peace of mind. We wholeheartedly agree

The fact that he wants to remarry you, save the words he exchanged.

I see. He's planning to remarry you, doesn't he? If that's the case, we have no choice but to watch as he progresses toward his divorce.

He will incur child support and alimony from now on. Also, since the reason for divorce is due to an act of infidelity called infidelity, there is a possibility that payments etc. will also be borne if there is alimony plus housing or loans. I don't know how many years they've been married, but there will also be talk of property division.

Divorce matters generally take years. The waiting side must be prepared for that.
And support him mentally. That's all you can do. For now, let's trust and wait.

Also, please save the fact that he wants to remarry you, his promises, words, etc.

If the promise is broken by him, if the engagement is unilaterally annulled without a “justifiable reason,” the partner (he) who caused the annulment of the engagement will be liable for damages.
I would like to believe that he won't do that, but just in case, you can save your interactions with him and act to protect yourself.

I want you to be a good adult woman

I want you to be a good adult woman. A good adult woman is a woman who won't have an affair and won't let you have an affair. She is an adult woman who cares not only about the man she is dealing with, but also about his wife and children. She is an adult woman who can harshly scold the man she is dealing with for taking good care of his wife and children.
I'm not denying your intention. You only live once, so do whatever you want to try. But since it's only once, I just hope you don't fall into the trap right in front of you. I wish you all the best.

Let me say something tough

From my experience of seeing many adulterous couples in my many years of working life, I think they are quite forgiving when it comes to infidelity and cheating compared to ordinary monks, but this case cannot be overlooked at all.
You have had an affair with your boss at the company since three months ago, and since your boss's wife is due to give birth in two months, that boss ran into an affair with you while knowing that his wife was pregnant.
I don't think he's a trustworthy person (I believe you didn't know your boss's wife was pregnant until recently).
My pregnant wife, who is supposed to be at the height of her happiness, was suddenly divorced by her husband, and how hurt she was.
I'm just praying that it won't affect the baby in my stomach.
It means you're prepared to pay alimony, but you're sorry for just stealing your husband from your wife.
The father of the baby being born can also be robbed.
There's no way you won't be rewarded in the future for committing such misdeeds.
I'm giving you advice as if I were your father.
Break up with your boss right away.
If you can, quit a company that has such a boss.
You're still young, so there are plenty of more wonderful men waiting for you to meet.
I wish you true happiness.
