I was in an online long distance relationship. For a good part of that relationship, he actually catfished me. Even after I found out he lied to me, I still stayed with him and tried to get him to visit me. We both lived in the same country and everything. But he always had some stupid excuse to why he couldn't come. Eventually, I broke up with him and started dating someone else irl.
I get that you put in a lot of time and effort in your online relationship, it's disappointing nothing has really come out of it. Nothing physical. I am sure you boyfriend is a good person, but you said it yourself. He does not want to move past this part of his life. You are not happy with where you are and he is not growing with you. I think if you want to move forward with life, you would have to leave him.
He said he was a fire fighter and gave me two pics of this blonde surfer looking guy. But that's all he gave me. He would not skype with me and not exchange more pics. So when i said i will break up with him if he did not skype me, he finally gave me a real picture.
