How does my affair partner think of me?

Anonymous
I am a married women having an affair with a man I went to school with who has a girlfriend. I know what I am doing is wrong, but before you judge me completely, please know we started our affair when I was separated and he was single. It just never really ended. I'm in an abusive and love-less marriage.

That all being said, I have strong feelings and attraction to my affair partner. He compliments me while my husband constantly puts me down.

The man I've been having an affair with for 3 years had never told me he loves me. We mostly communicate via text and we see each other a few times a month.

I want to know if he has any feelings for me or if I am just a booty call? He sends me pictures of things he's worked on, fixed or created/ his accomplishments and our conversations go beyond sex. Our sexual chemistry is amazing. I've asked my affair partner why we can't stop and he says because, "I'm like cocaine to him." When I ask him deeper questions or talk about feelings he's pretty vague and gets uncomfortable.

Please give me some advice. I'm so confused. Please don't think I'm a terrible person. I'm staying in my marriage for my kids. I have been verbally and physically abused. I know an affair is wrong but I can't seem to end it.
