Hi I met this woman on a dating app.... I'm 47 her 39. Basically when we met on this app she had told me she would be in my province for 6 months only and would have to move to another province given she has a goal to be a Canadian. Given the pandemic I said ok and we started seeing each other quite frequently. Well we clicked really well and the relationship just got better and better. She then extended her stay because she was able to study only in another province. During our time she hinted a few times that if I marry her she would stay but I told her there must be another way ....although this is the province she really wants to stay in, it is also the hardest given more language requirements. she ended up staying almost 11 months. During that time time both of us developed feelings for each other and only had 4 days that were ackward with the rest of the time being a breeze and fun. She left in sept 2021 and we have chatted, exchanged racy pictures, talked and had virtual sex until the calls started to be more distant both ways because the idea is that we had to move on. Now In january she told me she had been approached by a guy and she says she will meet him. It has been a week since then and I have been feeling very sad almost asking myself if I should have just married her. However, I'm sad because had she said I'll stay in this province with you....I would have probably married her. But she did seem to have that option open given the restrictions and best option in getting her papers. She said I was exactly her type, that the sex was amazing and she found we really clicked together... so if love trumps all I did not see it here UNLESS I missing something.
Just writting this in case someone has some input on the situation.
