The only think i'm really interested in is WHY he lied then and why he's lying now. I am guessing there will be alot more lies before the truth is uncovered.

This thing is pretty crazy and i have trouble following the timeline and all the differnent things.

That said, i just believe him for some reason. Obviously he lied about stuff, but i dont think he was maliciously lying. I feel like he was lying because he was uncomfortable or had a difficult time explaining that it was an online relationship only. Perhaps friends/family questioned him about the relationship and because he so desperately wanted to believe it was real he made things up, like talking on the phone or meeting the girl in order to appease his critics.

But he very well might just be insane.

Actually when you first fall in love with someone there is a chemical reaction in your brain that makes you kind of loopy.

Falling in love is a similar chemical reaction as getting hooked on a drug. Which is why breakups have similar chemical reactions as going through drug withdrawls.
