My story unfortunately sounds similar like everyone else, i met him on facebook he requested me back in march of 2010. he seemed to be very pushy but relaxed anyway i talked with him for a little bit and that was it. A year went by and we didnt talk although still friends when suddenly one day he started a chat with me told me he was on an off shore rig and that he couldnt get off because of the weather...and that it was the fate of God that he could find a signal anyway he asked for my number and I freely gave it to him and we talked for what seemed like hours. As the days went on he asked if he could see me on skype i said sure we started talking there every day he would say all these sweet things and he sent me gifts just was a beautiful man I fell in love with him unfortunately.this was in June of this year he had an idea to come to america for a class in houston he asked me if i would like to meet him i said yes.

Then as time went on he started being possessive he wanted my facebook email and password i gave it to him my mistake..he seen all the men i would talk to he became very violent and called me many names and said he should kill me, and that the perfume he gave me had poison in it and that i would die.. i was very frightened of this man but still in love with him (very stupid) but you do stupid things when your in love. Anyway he deleted me from facebook and basically quit calling me I asked for him to forgive me but he was stubborn.

Then after a month after Ramaddan i got a call it was him, he told me he was planning the trip to houston and asked if i could meet him. Many things were going through my mind i didnt know what to expect was he plotting to kill me or did he miss me and want to make up? Anyway, I met him in Houston and I fell even harder in love with him he was my prince smart, handsome, caring not the man that was on the phone. So we spent 10 beautiful days together he hugged me and wouldn't let me out of his site he told me it was like he was married and that we loved me so much he couldn't live without me. We booked a flight to California and funny thing is we missed our flight and spent the night at the airport he kept me warm and let me sleep on his lap just a pure gentlemen. We spent time at Disneyland he let me jump on this back we were like lovers in highschool it was a beautiful vacation. No we did not have sex, but came very close! When it was time for us to part are ways we cried we didnt want to let go of each other he told me he was coming back for me even if his family didnt approve he would choose me over them. He even talked about getting me pregnant and running away with me.

Anyway when we got back to our homes he sent me voice messages crying in them telling me he couldn't live without me we text and skyped everyday then all of a sudden out of the blue the texting was getting fewer and fewer it seemed as if he was ignoring my text or talking to me when he wanted. And the last words he spoke to me was I love you and the next time we see each other we will be together forever but as i went to his facebook page he had commented a womens pictures and i asked him about this and he said cant a man admire a beautiful women, i said we are supposed to be in love he begged me to not leave him and i said i wouldn't and that i loved him,

since then i have not heard from him for 5 days and i have texted him over and over but he wont reply and after hearing all these stories i have to second guess my relationship with this man. Can anyone tell me what to do or guide me in the right direction

I am so confused lisa
