I met someone online, and we started talking. It quickly grew into something that felt intentional. For three months, we were in a relationship. He told me upfront that he couldn’t marry someone without having sex first. I told him I’m a virgin and would prefer to wait, and he said he understood and respected that. He called often, shared things with me, and talked deeply about his life, marriage, children, even his past. He was transparent and open, and that made it easy for me to trust him. I also made efforts: I called, I checked in, I gave my heart. Sometimes he’d go quiet for a day or two, saying work was overwhelming. But when he returned, he’d call and explain in full detail what had happened. That consistency, even if imperfect, made me feel like I mattered. I wasn’t in town during our relationship, but we were both counting down to when I’d be back. About two weeks before my return, he brought up sex again. He wanted it to happen immediately when we met. I told him we should take time to reconnect first; this would be our first time seeing each other in person, after all. After that conversation, he disappeared. No calls, no texts. Just silence. It’s heartbreaking because I truly cared. NOTE: I never asked him for anything, no money, no material things, just his sincerity and presence. Now I’m left wondering if that’s what pushed him away. I don’t want pity or judgment. I just wanted to express what many of us never get to say out loud. No insult, please. Should I call him or send him a text just to ask for clarity? A part of me still cares and still wonders why things ended the way they did. Please, no insult. I just want closure. That’s all.
