l went into a chat room for the very first time and got what they call a pm (somebody trying to pm me ) his name was Romeo and that name just blew me away.

We got talking and before I knew it, l had been talking to him for 5 hours. l went to bed that night didn't think anymore about this man. Only to wake up to 15 messages he had left on my messenger. Saying that he could not get me out of his head. l thought it weird a stranger saying that to me. We spoke for a another 5 hours or more this continued every day for 9 months. l fell deeply in love with him and thought he did with me too. If l took too long to answer him he would say who are you talking to, give me his id name l'll tell him your my girl. 

Little did he know that my children were talking to me, or l had to do something and l did not have time to tell him. Like when it rained l ran outside to get the clothes off the line before they got too wet. l was gone 10 mins and when l came back l told him what had happened he called me names that no woman should be called. l was in love with l could not stop having contact with him no matter how cruel he was. l was accused of doing things l never did so many times, that in the end l said yes l did, and yes l am when he would accuse me. 

We had our good times but mainly bad but l was drawn to him l could not go. He use to say don't leave me, l love you more than life itself, if you leave l don't want to live. Some may say how stupid this is that internet people can have an effect on you like that. We used to talk a lot of times on the phone, voice on the internet, really speak about our inner selves, how you do love that person. As time went on we got along really well and we spoke about meeting. 

He told me he wanted to marry me and spend the rest of his life with me. l booked a plane ticket and was going to surprise him (he lived in Canada and l live in Australia). l could not sleep the night before. I'll tell you the rest of the story soon...
