Many Rumours and Intruders

I love someone who is separated from his wife for a long time now but he is still not divorced for their better and mine.

We met after he separated from her about a year and we attracted each other at the begining. Then love started, but he is still a friend of his wife and I trust him.

My parents doesn't want this relationship and they keep on telling me bad things about him, they listen to rumors.

His wife knows about our relationship and told me that it's ok with her, because they are already separated.

My problem is that he lives far away and we can't take any step before he gets divorced.

My parents keeps on pushing me to meet other men and because I hear many rumors I just started to feel insecure.

So do I have to listen to rumors because they are the only way I can make sure of how he is living? or Do I just follow my feelings and have the blind trust I have and believe whatever he tells me?
