Yeah, I agree with everyone. He's manipulating you, sounds like he's just using you for what you can do for him. Just cut off all contact. He'll fade away.

Long story short, he ended up in jail last year. Since then, we have written about 10 letters back and forth over the months.

But, the problem is I no longer live in Florida and am not planning to live there anytime soon. He also isnt planning on moving to where I am either. He sends me all of these sad letters about how bad it is in prison and that no one had written him and it makes me feel terrible. This week, I just got a letter with a request to send him money, which I cant do.

I want to end this 'friendship' (thats all it is, nothing more) because I cant relate to him any longer and we never even met before and Im starting to feel overwhelmed by the sad letters and requests to send things to him and contact people he knows. How can I just end it already?
Ok, so after reading what everyone else has had to say, I must say that I agree. I'm not sure what he is in there for, but I would write a letter, stating that you are moving, leave it at that and never contact him again. Move without forwarding your address or phone number or any of that info that he could use to track you down. He will move on and find someone else to latch himself onto.
Good luck!

In fact, the pretty redhead I wrote to is not in FL, but in TN , maybe rules are different in the prison system there.
Is this the gal that is now in TX???

Don't get involved with anyone with a crimical record and jail time. Don't be dumb. Yeh best to end this and any contact with him - never answere phone calls from him or letters. Change phone no if necessary.

As somebody who works with inmates and corrisponds with them I am torn by these threads. Everytime I work with guys I really don't have any problems. When I write back and forth with females they start steering right up heart strings river. And When I compair notes with my outside female counterparts they have the same experiance with the males. These people are sitting around with a lot of time on their hands, they read books, they bounce ideas for letters off fellow inmates, they share successes and failures. Given time and friends to show my letter to, I can take my feeble writing and have a team work on my responcs and walla...fantastic heartwrenching, greatest, sweetest man ever letter.

In the movie classics where the shy guy has a helper help him write the letters to the girl, one guy helping has the girl swooning, imagine having ten or more jail house love letter editors at your disposal?

Lol i think some types of women are just suckers for this sorta thing. They are the same type who end up getting killed, abused, and/or used. To be honest theres not much you can do for these type of people since most of the time they don't listen.
