The Problem

The problem is that you only "dated" your partner for two months. I'm not so sure that you felt true love after just one kiss or even dating for that short period.

I've had the same thing happen to me more than once: have someone tell you they love you without even meeting you or being together a few times. It's not uncommon to be told that on-line even if you've never met.

I have no doubt that this man made you feel good, but your claim that so many of them "treat women like queens if they only act nice" is rather ridculous and is contrary to the vast majorities of testimony on here.

If a scammer or liar or a even a man in general wants something and they know you feel so strongly for him, he will threaten to leave you if he thinks it will help him get his way.

I don't think that you understand how diabolical internet social dating/relationships can be in this manner, especially in the international sense.

What you are saying about being careful not to lie doesn't make sense. If two people really love each other, an unintentional lie (especially one not involving some kind of cheating) should not destroy the relationship.

My feeling is that the guy you dated used your mistake as an excuse to break it off with you and I can think of several reasons why that would be.
