I was in love with a man I met on the internet for over 2 years, when he dumped me suddenly.

I am just now recovering from being dumped by a man I was in love with for almost 2 years.

We met online in a chat room where politics and current events were the main topics.

But after a few months, it got much more involved. Emails....phone calls... web-camming, mailing cards to each other, you name it, we did it.

was head over heels in love with this guy, and he said he felt the same way. Even though we both worked full time jobs, we spent so much time together online, talking and laughing for HOURS each night.

Our phone calls lasted 4-5 hours, about 2-3 times a week. I told him I thought he was the one for me, and he said he felt the same way. The emails we sent each other were incredible. We both talked about our dreams. We looked at house plans online...looked for jobs together....talked about having kids.

After almost 2 years....yes, YEARS.....of sharing our hearts online, we finally met in person, and had the most incredible weekend together.

It was everything I hoped it would be: intimate, fun, downright sexy. We were HOT together. He had made a couple of CD's with songs he said reminded him of me, and we played them on his portable CD player all weekend, whenever we were in our hotel room. We spent hours talking, walking on the beach, visiting all the places he had been telling me about and sending me pictures of for 1 1/2 years.
He even took me to his Mom's antique shop. It was just amazing. Finally being able to look into his beautiful blue eyes and tell him in PERSON that I loved him was a dream come true. Hearing him whisper that he loved me as we were holding each other sent chills down my spine.

He kept telling me how much he loved me, and wished we could be together. Hearing that, and knowing how deeply I loved him and that he said he felt the same way about me...I began the process of making arrangements for us to be together permanently. Then, disaster struck.

He said that I 'obviously thought there was more to him and I than he did, and that he hadn't felt the same way.' He said 'I wasn't in love with you.' and he said 'Where was I when we supposedly talked about a future together?' His parting shot was...'I'm sorry you feel I have hurt you. But I didn't use you. You got as much out of it as I did.'
