Is it normal that my lover refused to take my virginity cuz i deserved better?

I have been on this affair with a married man for close to five years, most of the time was over the phone, until recently in November we met in person in a hotel room. I was on the rag so we didn’t have intercourse, I performed oral sex on him and we fondle each other. Next time we met again in January in another hotel room we kissed and fondle and he teased me with his penis rubbing it inside my vagina but didn’t completely penetrate, he was suppose to sneak in the next morning and take my virginity then, but things got complicated at home with wife and he was unable to get away to see me. On our third visit which was in February he came to see me to the hotel on his lunch break, we began kissing and foundling and I was performing oral sex on him, I then asked him to take me now to which he answered no, I asked why and he said he wasn’t going to do that to me, that it was not morally right, that I deserved to give that to a man that was not married and could offer me more, we continued kissing and I finished performing oral sex on him, once completed we cleaned up and I asked again what was that all about and he said he just would feel guilty about doing that to me, that he had feeling for me and I deserved better. That he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he did, Is that even normal?
