I have been catfishing a guy for six months.
It all started on habbo hotel. He is 22 and I am 20. I didn’t mean to catfish him, a mutual friend showed him the wrong pictures! But I never corrected the situation, I had every chance to the first time we spoke. So… Over the last 6 months I have managed to hold it together, play into every lie I’ve told and let it be. In August, he showed up in the town I told him I lived in (I don’t actually live there). He travelled 300 miles to see me and not only wasn’t I there… I am not real. This guy dumped his girlfriend of 4/5 years, not for me but I don’t think I helped the situation… He wasn’t happy with her and I gave him the confidence to leave her.
Anyway. Me and him “broke up” after I caught him lying to me. He’s a compulsive liar although he’s never lied about who he is, he’s a cheat and he cannot help himself with lies! I can’t be mad because, I’m doing so much worse. It’s such a mess. We’ve been growing apart lately, enough for it to be the perfect opportunity to let him go. I’m finding it hard. He’s the first guy I’ve ever cried over. I have loved him a lot.
We talked every night on skype for 6 months (never vid chat), watched films together etc, it was great and then in these last few weeks – we have not done that. It’s been so much different and I think that’s helped. I feel like he will be easier to let go of. None of this made sense but its off my chest!
