I was in a 2-year online relationship. I will never go through that again.
The basics: We "dated" for two years and I broke his heart twice.
It was purely emotional. Which is all good and well, as we naturally think. I didn't know him outside of the internet and that kept doubts in my head. I'm the type of person who will trust a situation, but full confidence of believing comes from seeing.
At the start of the relationship, I was so completely infatuated with him. He was all I could think about. I couldn't wait until I had the chance to talk with him. He made me smile. We got as close as you could probably get emotionally in a relationship. After a while tho, I really started doubting it. We had several times planned to meet but things couldn't work out - on both our ends.
He was the sweatest guy I had ever talked to. He was SO nice. But all I had of the relationship were our phone conversations and internet conversations via yahoo messanger and the DIS. I had nothing more and every stable relationship requires emotional AND phsyical connections. I devoted myself to him meaning I stayed faithful to this online relationship. I hated that I had no one here to hold me when I was lonely or cold. I need there to be some physical part to a relationship.
During our online convos I would tell him how much I liked him while I actually sat there at my computer thinking to myself "I don't think I can stay in this relationship". I said the things I knew he wanted to hear even though I didn't FULLY mean it. Of course I meant it a little, but not entirely.
I was forcing myself to like him and that wasn't good. I broke up with him. I started to feel lost without the conversations and he was heartbroken so I asked to re-kindle the relationship. He took me back and it was only a matter of a few months before I regained those thoughts of doubt. I broke up with him again only this time it was even more painful for the both of us.
This was 2 years ago and I'm still emotionally damaged because of this. I still think of him and I feel bad about what I did. I didn't even really know him. If you meet online, great! Just plan on meeting. If you are ONLY internet-based, the relationship will not last.
Every relationship requires the couple to be emotional and phsyical. It's just life.
