    sorry for the long story but i need to tell somebody this... theres this guy i met online about a month ago. We met up for a coffee, chatted and quickly became friends. he was (or seemed like) a nice guy and was very nice to me, always complimented me on how i look and how cute i was, i did the same. we soon became more than friends and would regularly meet up to have sex, hang out, eat, watch tv, relax, ect. it was amazing. i am still closeted and meeting someone i could cuddle with, have sex with, and just enjoy being around was incredible. i even slept over all night with him just two days ago! we had this open thing going and he even encouraged me to meet other guys, thats where i went wrong. i had a terrible encounter with a guy i met online who wasnt who he made himself out to be, so i left. i was safe and cautious the whole time and was shaken from the experience but when i told him what happened, the last thing i expected was the cold-hearted, asshole that responded. he didnt even sound like himself anymore, he was angered that i did something like that, and in my defence he sleeps with other guys too so can't see why :S i told him i was using a condom as i always do, but didn't even want him, and i didn't feel safe. my friend told me we were done, and at that moment i lost everything that ever made my shitty life before this good. He absolutely refused to listen - I pleaded, cried, reasoned. I talked of all the happy memories we had and all the moments we shared. The night before this argument he had been kissing and cuddling me and telling me how much he loved spending time with me and how much fun we had! The very next day he couldn't see one reason to even try to save our relationship. And, true to form as the most stubborn person I have ever met, had made his mind up. His world has not been turned upside down. And I hate that he has made me so down on myself - I have so little confidence now, and I used to be so bubbly and happy. I cry a lot, and then I feel like a loser for crying, when it's so easy for him to just walk away. I just want to erase everything, I just want to try and start over. I want to stop hurting and believe that there is someone who will love me and accept me for who I am. But I'm not sure anymore. And I hate that he has made me that way. i'm so depressed, i haven't slept in 2 days, and to top it off hes completely ignoring me and won't anwser my texts... i have already considered suicide, but i don't want to end this, i think i love him :'( but whats the good of anything if the one person who actually made me happy no longer wants anything to do with me? please help me :tears:

    This guy sounds a prize a-hole to treat you like that. Furthermore it should not be allowed to crash in on you the way it is - you do not deserve it as you have done nothing wrong.

    As this was very recent I would try and get back to your former way of life as much as you can. There may be opportunities for further conversations with this guy - if that is what you really want.

    Personally I would put it down to experience and try and move on as he wasn't at all as 'nice' to as you the initial impression he gave you.. in fact the opposite

    It sounds like he didn't actually expect you to ever take advantage of the option to mess around with other guys even though he was the one who established the baseline for that behavior.

    Whether his reaction was due to developing feelings for you that he didn't intend to develop or simply being a jerk who thinks that he should be free to sleep around but you should not, none of this is in any way your fault.

    He shouldn't have set up rules he wasn't prepared to live by or else he should have talked to you about changing the rules. Even if he was gearing up to have that conversation and events moved faster than he was ready for...that is not your problem.

    Please don't blame yourself for this and I'm really sorry you are hurting right now.(*hug*)

    Give yourself time to grieve, it's ok to do so. But don't refuse to let the hurt go. Give it some time and he may calm down and try to make up with you. Whether his behavior justifies a second chance or not is up to you. But based on his behavior he needs to do some serious grovelling. And even then you may be better off just moving on with your life and finding some better friends or FWB situation (or both). If he does try to make up, and you decide to accept his apology, suggest you watch him like a hawk and most definitely do NOT tolerate a second occurrence of this behavior. Once might be put down to him overreacting due to emotional attraction. Twice is starting to move into abuser territory.

    Hope this helps,

    Todd
