I am so happy for you
I've met a couple of people online that I hold dear to my heart, and I'm bold enough to admit that they are more important to me than people I actually know in the "real" world.
I'm also intrigued by your experiences with the Mandela effect, if you don't mind. perhaps you could tell me of your experiences, or if you've made a thread detailing it before, please pass on the link?

I've been led down a road that I could never have foreseen. I discussed a possible romantic relationship with the person I mentioned in the original post. They said they could not contemplate such a thing because I was already in a relationship. That forced me to reexamine my relationship with my now ex-significant other. I decided to leave her because she had betrayed me not too long ago and our relationship was doomed in the long run anyway. The person I mentioned in the original post was very supportive concerning my decision. We had a very long conversation after I broke up with my ex-significant other that went possibly too well. The other person I mentioned in the original post pulled away from me, not because of anything I had done, but because of what they had done. They said they had told me "too much" during the conversation, and they were thinking about abandoning our friendship because of it.
[None of the following is meant to sound like bragging, it is not.]
That left me with a real problem. Without my ex-significant other, I've only got one friend left (other than the person mentioned in the original post). I needed someone else. So, I looked at my mobile phone. Among my contacts there are about twenty women I've known (mostly current and former colleagues) who I could contact to try to be friends with. I chose three who I remember liking, and I asked them if they wanted to be friends. Two of them replied in the affirmative (the other one didn't reply which was surprising because she alluded to us becoming friends not too long ago), and we chatted via an instant message program the same night I contacted them. We had wonderful conversations, and they both indicated that they had a good time and wanted to chat with me in the future. When I think about the number of women who tried to get my phone number or something similar over the years, I could have hundreds of women in my friends list if I wanted to (this is not an exaggeration). I just turned almost all of them down because I didn't want friends. Now I'm thinking that I don't need romance, just someone to chat with (as long as I like them). It's a huge epiphany for me.
The entire thing has turned out differently than I would have previously imagined.

I'm sorry to hear that this person has pulled away.

I'm so confused. So did you sext with this person and cheat on someone else or did you sext with someone else and cheat on this person? Or is it a totally separate?

a mental affair is the same if not worse than a physical affair.
