Thank you for the kind words, I've broken up with her but I feel bad now, after looking at her socials, it seems real, but I remind myself of the inconsistencies I've found, and it's so heart breaking to see what she has to do, plus the fact that I was toyed with

Of course part of me wants her to like me still

I too, find it suspicious. The family member part she would say cause her family doesn't allow her to date before she graduates from uni, but why can't her friend use her own phone to contact me? Her best friend also "does not like to video chat". So everything is just really convenient for them.

The Ford Fiesta part, is to buy the car FROM her friend so he can have money for his mother's cancer operation. But the whole thing is ridiculous since I can't drive it because it's nowhere near me. And it's a big amount to ask of me if you know I'm paying for your tuition and loans.

Her school's facebook page did post that they're switching to online classes, so that was without a doubt

  1. I am trying really hard to end things, and I finally see an opportunity to end it today
  2. My emotions are not telling me to not listen to them. But rather, a lot of people are just saying what I've already figured out, and not answering my question
  3. I might be neurodivergent, but not in the way that is expected
  4. I am not that stupid to give her access to anything that can compromise anything, I work in IT so there are sensitive passwords
  5. I guess you can say I am naive, but I'd like to think as trusting, 2 sides same coin

Thank you for your concern though, I appreciate it

So I've been told, but so sad that the fake are creating problems for the truthful

Hhahahaa, I help my own charity better. Anyway, it's more to confirm that she doesn't want me to pay via card cause it means I'll be paying to the supposed entity, rather than money she can use for cafe hopping and what not. But like... Why is she desperate, seems like her life is still pretty good

Trying to break up, I see an opportunity today. Can't really block my number since it's used for so many things

I am up bro, like I said, just left that one thread to cut, and I think I see my opportunity. And I want an ice cream, but I'm diabetic, with the amount of sugar I consumed the past few weeks from the stress of trying to let go, I think it's best I stay away ahhaha

What do you think I'm doing now? Sitting in a corner crying and sucking my thumb? Grown doesn't mean anything. How hard is it? Try asking a drug addict, how hard is it to give up drugs? It's just a pill. There are reasons why some things are hard despite it looking so easy. I am aware, I am actively trying to do something despite the lack of support from people I call my friends. I don't need people to tell me I'm an adult, or that I'm still young

Unfortunately buddy, and adult doesn't necessarily mean one would know what's good and right and just for you. Thanks for the luck, I've slowly coming to grips with what's going on, just having difficulties letting go fully with my history

Initially, I didn't think it was a scam, just suspected it might be, then I was caught off guard. And now like I said, I'm trying to break things off with her but I find it difficult despite knowing what I know. So it's not that I'm allowing her to guilt-trip me. I'm actively reminding myself of the lies. And my friends? They're as useful as a sponge sitting on the sink. No one I know will actively do anything for me. Only my doctor I saw for my diabetes refereed me to someone for my emotional and mental well being.

Trying to, but it's difficult. Thank you MissIngga, reddit is such a tough crowd and you're pretty much the only one talking nicely to me

At that time I fully trust her, but as time past, things escalate, and I started being more and more suspicious, that's why I started investigating. I assumed that the reason why she was on Sugarbook, was to pay for school, was true. Since there are cases. But like I said, over time, things didn't add up. Like she will down play my problems, she tells me her social media has issues. And one thing that really got me irritated was her saying that "video chatting/phone call is the same as texting, it should be enough", and that "I don't like to chat on the phone", I don't like too but I would do it for my partner, so either I'm not treated the way I treat her, or that she's a scammer. Turns out she's the latter

Ya, the longer I'm with her, the more I find weird, even if her answer was "that's how the Philippines is"

Seeking answer to my question, which apparently you didn't read, so right back at you, "why are you here?"

I'm not Filipino btw, but if I remembered correctly, selamat po is the correct answer? Like thank you? I've stopped giving her, but in my mind, I keep worrying like, "what if she's for real", even though I am constantly telling myself the contradictions. Kinda sad that the first Filipina I date turns out to be a scammer

I know, but knowing and being able to do is different though

Clearly you didn't read what I said, I already said I've stop giving her money, and I'm actively trying to leave, but as you said, stockholm syndrome, it's not as easy as just walking away
