druidess6308: I sent a man I was dating online my other cell phone so that we could have better phone contact, because there were issues with his phone at times. Lost my phone service right after that because I couldn't pay my bill, so we never got to use it. I've had to keep that phone inactive because he won't return it now that the relationship is apparently over, and doesn't respond to my emails requesting its return. Since my parents live less than an hour away from him, my last email even offered to have my dad come to his place and pick it up if he can't afford the small fee to mail it back to me.

I just wanted closure, but I might have to have closure without getting my phone returned. It's why I won't think of getting into another LDR. You just never know who someone really is across the miles. They can sound very sincere and say how honest they are, but in the end you just never really know.


It's easy to ignore someone online Dru but if your dad knocked on his door and asked for it would he maybe give it him?
Phones are so cheap now why couldn't he afford one of his own?
For a few quid/dollars ebay have loadsdancing

symbolistartist: 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!!!

I know how you feel I once sent some paintings I created to a love interest and she never sent them back to me, the idea was she was supposed to sell them where she was from. The sad thing is I put one of the paintings in a international juried art show and won. We both got caught here but those are the chances you take putting yourself out there in the name of love. I know it doesn't feel good to lose stuff but you gotta be proud of yourself for taking those chances for love. May your next love be the one once and for all symbolistartistcomfort hug peace

I went through the same thing. He never asked me for a cent. I am the one who made the mistake of sending money and gifts. I paid a very heavy emotional and financial price for falling in love. I'm sorry that you did to.

If you want legal advice, SensualVixen is the best person to ask but my guess is you don't have a leg to stand on because he didn't sign a promissory note, and there probably isn't anything in writing to show that he intended to make a life with you.

My situation happened almost five years ago and I'm just starting to get over it. The baggage is heavy to carry but I'm on my way to recovery. I wish you the very, very best to easing your painful heart. comfort bouquet

Yes, love can blind many who look through rose colored glasses.

You can only hope his conscience gets the better of him, but I highly doubt it will.

I completely agree with you SV but I know from my experience he doesn't have a conscience. If he did he would have sent back the gifts I sent and he would have told me not to send anymore money if he knew he was going to end the relationship.

My situation is so much like Symbols. The man I dealt with is from Florida. I wonder if she got taken by the same man. If it is the same guy Symbol can stop waiting for a courtesy phone call.

If they were gifts why should he send them back?

You are 100% right. When people suggested that I try to sue him I told them it would be a waste of time cause I sent the money and gifts on my own because I loved him and felt sorry for his financial situation. All my life I heard "love is blind" and never really knew what it meant. Now I do.

That's right, and frankly, unless there is some serious prospect of a quick reunion, it's unfair and unrealistic to expect each other to forsake having any sort of a life just on the hope that one day it might possibly work out.

Love may not know any boundaries.
But physical reality sure does.
