You want this relationship a lot more than she does. Actually, the person you fell in love with is not her. You're in love with a persona she created and projected online. You don't really know who she is in real life. I suspect she is a young woman who collects male hearts. I'll bet you're not the first online romance she has gotten into.

Where would you expect this relationship to go? Would you be interested in relocating to the UK? Would she be willing to move to the U.S.? Trying to live in a country that you did not grow up in is very tough. (Ask Megan Markle.) I doubt she is going to leave the UK for someone she bumped into online, especially if it's someone who doesn't have a fortune to share. Her being willing to get sexual with you online sounds to me like she was mainly toying with you to pass the time. I say that, in light of the context you've described. She's barely out of a failed marriage - that did produce children - when she's engaging in erotic exchanges online and has a new boyfriend IRL. This gal bounces around a lot from guy to guy. I think she's been hanging on to you as an entertaining boost for her ego. She is fully aware that you really fell for her . . . more than she did for you. She liked that. You had her on a kind of pedestal. She knew that and she liked that. It flattered her, so she encouraged your attention. I think women who do that, despite not having a similar reciprocal interest in the man, are being thoughtless and cruel.

To cut to the chase, I think you're wasting your time with this online love affair. As said above, look for someone in your own neck of the woods. Finding real love requires you to take risks. I'm wondering if you are pursuing a woman online because you are afraid of approaching women IRL in your own neighborhood. Maybe you fear rejection. Maybe you feel less vulnerable chatting online. If seeking women online is your modus operandi, I think you're making a mistake. He who risks little, gains little. Getting turned down, if you ask some girl for a date won't kill you. It's merely a disappointment. You move on and find someone else to flirt with. Sooner or later, someone will say "Yes." If that seems too risky to you, then your problem is timidity, which you need to fight against. "Fortune favors the bold."
