:(((((((..what do i do now..

I have been with this guy for like 2 yrs or more now and we got along really well..I never met him or anything we were in touch through sms and phone calls and through chatting..n then all of a sudden he changes this yr..like last year I couldn't talk to him but he was still there for me and during this summer when he was in UK he used to get in touch like 16 hours a day or more which is all right in summer..and I thought when he will go back he would like to stay in touch..
And so he did..but not like ever :eek: we never were this way and now we hardly talk :confused: :confused: why is tht happening all of a sudden? :confused:

All this is affecting my studies and I havent studied since last month when we had our so called breakup..We do talk now and he says he loves me and all that..but I feel there is something wrong..
:confused: :frown:

Sounds like a bit of a strange "relationship"... how did you get in contact with him?

Met him online..Not in a chatroom or anything..one of my frend's wanted to do something with this guy and I warned him..and I know him since then!

I have been with this guy... I never met him


Isn't this a contradiction?

It sounds like the two of you have developed a mutual dependance but he has broken away from it. Any such dependance will be unhealthy (16hrs a day on the phone!?) and he's probably realised this, hence his reticence. I suspect he's telling you what you'd like to hear so as not to upset you, and because he's having difficulty himself.

You need to move on: stay in touch with him, but keep things in perspective.

Sounds a bit... dumb. Do you call each other boyfriend and girlfriend? Whatever floats your online-chat-boat I guess...

Hmm not on phone alone..like sumtimes on net and on phone and like tht you know..but if we r together for longer than 5 hours then its either net or sms!
hehe not really contradicting I have been with him virtaully you can say :biggrin:
Nah..We did breeak up as I said and then he comes back you know.. it looks like one of those cases but again I dont know what I should think about it now..
And I can't agree with the idea that he's broken away :confused: because if he did then :frown: :frown: :frown: may be he did then..ecause we aren't that much in touch

We love each other yes and we are together for like 2 or more years as I said ( think how many SMS and expensive phone calls that would be :biggrin:)

I really dont understand this thread!!! From what I have gathered, since neither of u have aactually met in real life, maybe he has met someone else and really dont know how to break the news to you, maybe thats why he is not so much in contact with you as be4! Sorry, if i am wy off, like i said i dont understand d thread!!

Yet you've never met him. I'd take this break up as the best thing that could have happened to you. Didn't sound like it was going anywhere anyway - best to get a partner you can actually be with, without having to rely on SMS/internet/whatever.

hmm yeah true.. but see I somehow got involved with him so its hard for me to date anyone else here in REAL and as That is not the issue so you could kindly view the problem the way it is..and tell me..
Ok the heart breaking news is tht he could be hanging out with someone else..but if he were, then he wont come back to be, would he?

What is the question you want answering?

He wouldn't exactly "come back" to you since you're not together (in a "REAL", rather than "virtual" sense). There's a reason why our language uses metonyms such as "to be together", "to leave", "to go out" when describing relationships.

Your problem is that you believe you can 'be together virtually'; you say that "this is not the issue", but really it is. It is the fundamental issue that underlies your jealousy and why the relationship cannot work. As such, you should address it, rather than try to get people on an internet forum to give you advice as to how to make some man you've never met talk to you on the phone every day and tell you he loves you.

So you met some guy over the net, went into a relationship with him for 18 months and broke up a month ago? To be honest, you really don't want to be getting into these kinda things - there's a whole lot of dodgy stuff out there. Instead get out more, meet new people, enjoy your local area etc...

Well I do go out with friends and have all the fun in life but I somehow can't let him go..and I dropped out of my normal routine since last month so tht's where I need help not anywhere else..We broke up yes, and then he sort of came back but didn't change his attitude with me :confused: why did he have to come back in the first place to be like that all over all?

Thats strange, maybe hes seeing girls at home aswell, thats how these internet relationships usually end up anyway.

Yes after 2 years its not that shocking, if anything that would be a good time.
Basically perhaps being in a relationship via emails and phone calls just isn't his thing anymore but doesn't want to say anything just yet
