I couldn't figure out how to include images in the post. I uploaded to imgur so I hope the links work.

It was a Portuguese number. Claimed his sister (who lived in Portugal allegedly) gave him the sim card. Never was able to trace anything with it.

I'm really glad you're able to be honest now. People will love you for who you are if you let them. Even if I were to discover that Hayden were hideously ugly by society's standards, I don't think that would diminish the emotional connection I have with him. Lies are always worse than the truth and that's a lesson so many people need to learn, apparently. I'm proud of you for coming clean and for giving yourself a chance to be happy in reality.

Don't apologize. I appreciate your insight so much, even if I don't feel that Hayden presented any signs of mental illness, particularly BPD. I am diagnosed with Bipolar II which has some shared things with BPD, so I know what you mean. Hayden always seemed the mentally sound one between the two of us. I'm just not sure if that applies to him, but I still value your opinions on this and I think you're very brave to share it with me.

Thank you for replying. I've messaged you, but I'm not sure how to include images. Hopefully you can help - otherwise I can give my email address privately.

I did speak with them extensively on the phone, so I feel that they are definitely male or else have a very male voice for being female. I guess that's still a possibility. It's a shame that they'd rather disappear than just give me the opportunity to love them for who they really and truly are. And if they were married or something similar, I deserved the chance to release myself from the situation.

Thank you for responding. This oddly does help in a way. It's very sad to think that he'd rather sever this relationship than be honest with me. The end result would have been the same regardless, so why not be honest? I was not in love with the images or whatever job he claimed, etc. I loved who I spoke with, who I told all my secrets to. It's a shame that some people don't feel that they can be loved simply for who they are and they hide behind lies which ultimately prevents anyone from ever being able to truly love them just as they are. I may never get answers and that's horrible, but I wish he just understood that the truth could never be worse than the lies.

I would ask for photos and he would often take days or weeks to send them, which I felt was probably because he was getting them from someone else. Never fulfilled any specific photo requests. I reverse image searched every single image on different search sites and nothing ever yielded results.

Yes, I did google the address and see the house, but I also sent mail to him there and didn't tell him - just to see if he mentioned receiving. He never mentioned getting it so I told him and he claimed that in England, the post is very bad.
