I feel for you, i am going through these extreme emotions as well... my story is a little different in that he never asked me for money or gifts... he was told he must visit family as he had told them about us and his father disapproved...i had a feeling i would lose him but he kept assuring me he was not going to marry, that he had asked them to give him a year to see if we had a future then out of the blue he blocked me and i then find out he has got married...he said his family would not allow him to be with me because i am divorced and have children so he had no choice but to marry the woman his family chose for him. I want to think that he had no choice as his family threatened to disown him but part of me is absolutely broken...how can he turn off his feelings so suddenly, were they genuine to begin with...it hurts so so much... has anyone else had this experience or do you think he is just lying to me??
