I think you both need to assess your relationships - with each other and with your partners. I certainly don't think you should sleep with him though - not unless you have both left your partners.

Apologies in advance for coming over the moral heavy, but it's a) Not worth your while, since your crush at least SAYS he loves his girlfriend (more about that later)and b)it is,IMO,just plain wrong.
But to return to point a):Sheer Practicality, remember that you only have his word for the state of their relationship. It's an unfortunate fact that unsrucpulous people, slightly more men than women I believe(sorry guys) will tell any number of lies in order to cheat on their partner and keep them. I don't understand what motivates such people, perhaps a sense of danger, intriuge , idk. But one thing's for almost certain, the "other woman" will be the loser. Read, "He's just not into you if he's married" chapter 10 of the largely excellent "He's just not that into you" by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tucillo.
Seriously, if you want to break up with your current bf, go ahead, I'm sure it's the right thing to do, as things clearly haven't worked out between you two. But I would strongly advise you to wait a little before you try to find s/o else. And this time, make sure he's available before you become attached. Good luck, lol lucretia xx.
