She enjoyed you until she no longer found you enjoyable.
Would have been more respectful and practical if she directly told you but sometimes that does not happen.
Better she did it now than after you had invested more into her.
Because had it went further there might have been more issues.

And then one day out of the blue, that woman (foreign) stopped all contact.
I didn't pursue her for obvious reasons.

"Obvious reasons" being . . . ? You have an SO already? Or that the "young woman" in question was obviously not interested in you?

Newsflash: e-relationships absolutely ARE real relationships. They are as genuine and as real as the people in them.

Surely you jest! An e-mail relationship is purely that, a very basic introduction to what might become a relationship. It's a present day cyberspace introduction but in no way a "real" relationship. A "real" relationship develops when parties meet in person, talk face to face and forge or not a relationship based on a commonality which is only touched upon via email but can continue on only if both parties are in sync on so many different levels.

It certainly was not meant to be; even I had some doubts along the way, like I said. There are no rules, of course, in dealing with other people's feelings. Well, there are, but not everyone knows them! Too bad when we meet someone we think has some potential, we can't hand them the 'rules of engagement'. I am an affectionate person who likes the hug and kiss hello/goodbye, acknowledgment of my feelings, thoughtfulness, etc.

I see her on the local personal ads on-line, she's still out there fishing for other suckers. Could be she's a "9 1/2 weeks - and I am gone" type. Gets bored easily, likes the hunt, eats the prey and reloads.

I replay the events of our time together and she in retrospect was a total beeeatch and I thought maybe that would change once she got to see how great a guy I really am....but that is delusional thinking. Someone else will have a better appreciation of who I am and what I have to offer.

If they're not a good person from the beginning, nothing you can do will help them find a sense of morality. Some people are just meant to burn in hell.

No I don't jest. My husband and I met online and even before we met in person the relationship was very real. I am sure others who have met online would agree.

If you really want to know...both, of course!
This incident taught me to be very cautious on the Net, even here on a seemingly innocuous site like UCD.

How sad that your SO's wrath didn't teach you not to cheat!

When someone you just met sleeps with you on the 3rd date...what did you think was going to happen?

I hate that she did that to you but people like that don't stick around for people with stricter standards. They are playing for fun and games. Not for keeps. Keep it zipped up before you catch more than a broken heart next time.
