I'd met someone on Fetlife and I'd thought we were friends. For about a month we exchanged emails two or three times a day. We slowed down after that but we continued to email and sometimes phone frequently.

About two months ago she just stopped. She'd told me she was going offline for a while but after several weeks of silence I tried to check in on her. I have never heard anything from her since, but just now I heard from her boyfriend.

Keep in mind that although we had talked about having some intimacy together, we were never boyfriend/girlfriend and never discouraged each other from seeing other people. Her friendship was one of the major things that helped me get through the awful times these past seven months.

So I just now got a message from her boyfriend saying to not contact her anymore. She also unfriended me.

I'm really hurting from this.
