Do Not Be Enticed - An Empty Heart Cannot Be Filled with Empty Promsies

Putting aside the already questionable differences of a relationsship that shows no promise of fulfilling your aspirations of emotional completion; by these presentations, there is no evidence, either by word or deed, that your hopes can ever be fulfilled. This is even true when the relationship is local and there is daily physical contact.
Marriage requires a sincerity that is rarely, if ever, demonstrated by persistent promises that are never kept. This is already evident in your situation; it has no real chance of ever becoming sufficient to meet your needs of feeling wanted, let alone being desired. Find the worth in your own reality and do not be dependent on someone else supplying what they cannot offer in truth to be the source of your fulfillment.
See past the myth and find the value of who you already are before attempting to share it with someone that evidently does not see you for who you really are.
