I am a 25-year-old doctor living in the UK. A year and a half ago (July 2021), I was on vacation in Tunisia and I met a girl lets call her "Z". She was 20 years old, a humanities student and we struck up a conversation while I was there. We exchanged contact information and continued to talk after I returned home.
At first, I was just enjoying getting to know her. We would talk for hours on end and make video calls. She seemed genuinely interested in me and I was starting to develop feelings for her. After about a month, Z told me she loved me and I was over the moon.
But things started to change soon after that. She told me that her internet was over and asked me for money to pay for it. I didn't think much of it at the time and I sent her the money. Then she started asking for gifts and said she wanted to meet in person. She even asked me to apply for her visa so she could come to the UK.
She was very affectionate with me, saying that she loved me and talking about our future together. She even told her family about me, but not her father. She kept asking for more and more money and wanted to get married as soon as possible. I was getting suspicious but couldn't bring myself to believe that she was just using me.
But then in November 2022, she blocked me. I was confused and didn't know what had happened. After a few weeks, she unblocked me and started talking to me again but she was cold and distant. She told me that if I didn't marry her, she would not like to talk to me and would marry someone else. I felt trapped and didn't know what to do.
I couldn't understand how someone I had grown to care for could do this to me. I felt betrayed and devastated. I couldn't believe that I had let myself fall for someone who was only using me for financial gain and using the marriage as a way to come to the UK.
I was confused and didn't know what to do. Our relationship had been on and off for weeks, and I was unsure if I should continue to try and make it work or if I should move on. I felt like I was being played and I didn't want to be a part of it anymore.
Since then, I haven't responded to any of her messages. I thought that since it's been two months, she would eventually just go away. But let me tell you, Z still messages me once in a while. Sometimes she curses me and calls me a coward, and other times she just says sorry and sends cute texts. Although I have made my mind not to talk to her, I would like to hear any advice you may have. Thanks for reading this far
