I am in a new long distance relationship that's not going to happen even though my partner thinks it is.

I met him because he flirted with me. I didn't know that he flirted with others. When I found out I was shocked and he claims he didn't know he was hurting me and other people. He appologized but I don't trust him anymore.

I even tried to break it off a couple of times and he used really special words to reel me back in.

I see the relationship as something that will not work out in the long run but he won't give up and I am so tired of him reeling me back in. Part of me just wants to the relationship fade as I don't see us ever meeting again, he says he will but I don't see how. We don't have the money to do that.

Even as we speak, he's appologizing to the other women that he flirted with. He appolgized for flirting but he's talking to the same women he flirted with to begin with claiming he's sorry and won't do it again.

I don't know how to tell him again that it won't work. We basically communicate via instant messaging.

I've also found his communication style boring to me and he cannot focus on one thing at a time.

I feel manipulated but don't know how to stop this relationship, it's like an addiction to nothing.

We live far apart and only met once even though we talk most of the day.

I know staying in the relationship is sick but I can't stop myself, I feel addicted to my computer and him despite all this.

I know this is not healthy and I don't know how to stop.
