I know this is long… but pls.. have some time to read this.. I would like to know your comments… thanks..?

your online b/f as u call him probably doesnt have anyone else in his life right now to help fill the void he feels from not having u there to talk to, where as u do. so it is easier for u to go on, but more difficult for him. i am sure he is quite lonely. it is more like u two were dear close friends, relying on each other for emotional support. people confuse that for true love sometimes, especially if it is hard for them to communicate in their real b/f g/f relationship. i think everything happens for a reason, and we should be happy for each person that God brings into our life. even if we made wrong choices with that person, we have still to learn and grow from it.! it sounds like your relationship of 5 yrs is stronger now. and of course u would still get a smile on your face when u hear nice words from your online friend..he played a special part in your life at one time. i still feel warm inside and smile, even sigh sometimes when i see my exes. each one brought something special in my life, and just cuz we didnt end up together doesnt mean i no longer think of them or no longer like them. theres nothing wrong with having close feelings for someone other than your main man. unless of course, they over ride your feelings for him, and u truly do love the other person more than him. then u need to be fair to the both of u, and get out of that relationship, even though that too will be hard to do cuz of the years and closeness and love that u have, and do somewhat still share. i look at my guy friends as i do my girl friends. if they were special to me, and touched my life in some way, i will always be thankful for what time we did have, always still think of them through out my life, always hope to keep in touch on occasion (so as to know how they r, etc., cuz i will always care, and hope they have someone else to make their life full). we do that with our friends of the same , so why not with the opposite ? cherish the fact that u had the opportunity to meet someone who helped u through some difficult times, who understood you and loved you for you. alot of people dont get that in their lifetime. your life is richer because of that, i believe. god bless u, and good luck.
