You want progress. As much as this situation causes you despair and anger, it also is something that you want to understand. The process of understanding what you're feeling and where you are in the relationship is your next step.
You already have the hard part done: you know what you want to discover about the love you're experiencing. And it is a type of love; it would not be so painful if it wasn't, and the worst you can do for yourself is deny it. Love has many expressions, and it's unique to each individual and situation. I gave you some basic definitions, pushed you on your inquiry, and maybe was a bit cruel in this. You need to, in your own time and method of contemplation, define your love. Then you will know what to do with it.
