Well cutting a long story short; I almost relocated in 2007 to the US for a man I met online, thought it was an opportunity to start afresh. Because of him being having perpetual money trouble including a bankruptcy that was coming up, I ended up going there rather than waiting for him to come to see me as promised, with the idea that I might stay on. I wouldn't be able to go back and forth. That's because I didn't have much money either and the trips are expensive. Well... I was STUPID!!!
The man was not mean but he was hopeless... always giving promises he couldn't keep, too set in his bachelor ways, a load of baggage he had no way of dealing with... But he got a mental/emotional grip over me because I felt sorry for him. Nonehtheless I had to leave when my tourist visa expired. After that the relationship dissipated as his promises of coming to get me etc. didn't come true. So far so good
However... trouble is a brought a lot of stuff to to the US and left it there because I honestly believed that he'd bring me back after getting a job. I've gotten some things back but recently he said no more unless I pay. I got some money, 200 € or 300 USD and sent it, had no choice because I really wish for at least some of the stuff to come back (needless to say he never followed my pleas about what I wanted first ). I haven't heard anything for over two weeks and I'm starting to worry... I know I know they are only material things... but right now I need peace of mind and want to have this over with after a year of torture (always waiting and having to be in touch with him, never being able to cut the cord...)!
So... let this be a moral story..! but also, please keep me in your thoughts so that he'll send my things rather than use up the money, yes? Thank you!!!

kizzy27: Ide see a lawyer .....good thread for what not to do sorry to hear this happened to you
Thanks kizzy! Hm, well it doesn't quite work that way over here... plus it's actually a case of just a few precious items, the rest can be replaced. Possibly contacting the police over there. Yeah I hope others will learn from this though it's embarrassing to admit to having done it, lol...
symbolistartist: Yes I think he's starting to have mental issues, so even though I have gotten some important things back as promised, but I'm now wondering... a few items are really dear to me, and he knows that and hardly means badly CONSCIOUSLY. However, if he's started to lose it... well... maybe false promises was just an early sign of a major breakdown.
Well I knew he wouldn't be a "bad guy", my intuition is usually right. But I didn't suspect the false promises as I always believe people to keep their promises, fault of upbringing! Thanks for the sympathy though, I am hoping collective pressure will get him to act! One can always hope... Thanks!
BEWARE everyone!

SA, very sorry for your disappointment, but this kind of stuff happens regardless if you met on line or in RW. It just happens. Often.
As for getting your things back, you already knew (as you stated) that he never keeps his promises.
X_REBEL: Well you'll never know if you don't fly over (with some money)...
baby if I would havea lot of money I don't need to fly to u I would have all what I want and 'fresh meat 'if u understand what I say so change u attitude or u remain alone all u life
