Dear laelithia:

You got emotionally attached to him (and no wonder, the words he told you repeatedly and convincingly!) and it is hard to let go of a strong attachment. Your heart still wants what it wants and sometimes your heart twists your thinking in its desperation to get what it wants. An example of such twisting of thinking is that he is currently in a phase, and the way he was with you was the real him.

It feels so surreal, you wrote. I think it will feel surreal for a while until you put enough distance between you and that experience. Deleting him from social media, no longer being exposed to his photos and ongoing activity, will help in creating that distance you need so that you heal from this experience.

Post again anytime.
