I am a young woman 29 years old, single with two children, living in the United States, and I have met a man from Germany online. We have spent many hours "talking", sharing photos of ourselves, our children, our friends and talked about everything under the sun. We have become very close, and have let down our respective walls with each other.
One evening, unknown to me, my friend fell ill while online, and was taken to the hospital having had heart failure at 37yrs old. I messaged him - with no result. His friends immediately got online to let me know what had happened, and after asking them numerous times, they actually called me several times to tell me what was going on. I guess I just needed to hear a real voice of someone who actually knew him. I was online with them when the doctor was there with him, asking the doctor questions for all of them, as well as for myself. Since then, I have become close to most of them as well.
When he was well enough to be online when I could be, we again became closer and closer. He will be here in the States in May, being able to spend some time here with me. He told me that it will be difficult to leave me, and then asked me, if I and my children would go back to Germany with he and his son. I have seriously thought about it, but am a little afraid of what I would have to do to make this happen. We are both getting negative opinions from family and friends, and are not sure of the steps to take in order to be together. I feel that if I have found someone I would be happy with, my soul mate as some would say, I should pursue it. But at the same time have heard all the horror stories. I suppose in writing to you, I am seeking some advice, or perhaps love stories of those who have been in this situation.
It is truly possible to care for someone albeit online and long distance!
