Yup my nex and I met online and were long distance. I wonder how different my experience would've been if we'd originally met in person but because it was online, I think the abuse and devaluing was much harder to spot so it went on longer than it otherwise would've. The abuse happening online is super invalidating too. Since I had no tangible proof for myself other than her actions, words, and how I felt, I constantly doubted myself if it was real or not. Like, I think I'd be able to spot crazy more easily in real life but online she could hide whatever she wanted from me and lie more easily. This person that I was so invested in and had done no wrong to could just remove me with one click.
