Have you ever fallen in love with a customer?

I was very clueless & didn’t do my research when I started camming so I hopped on full nude & well, ya know… this customer tipped me & wrote in the tip message that I can do what I want on my stream but he saw I was new & recommended utilizing goals, taking steps, etc. He became a regular, always hyping me up, sending spicy pms, and eventually started writing stories about what we would do together (sounds cheesy I know). He would send voice memos in his sexy deep voice reading these stories. It progressed into a dom-sub relationship through messaging all day & phone calls. Before I knew it I found myself cheesing like an idiot when I saw him enter the chat on my stream & the phone calls got longer but they weren’t just sexy talk anymore.

He had a serious life event occur recently (so he says) & is taking mental space to help the person affected. Now we only talk briefly once a week.

If anyone has experienced something like this, how do you stop the connection between them and streaming? Or feeling sad bc it’s not as fun as it was with them in the room? I’m so sorry for the novel, I feel like I’m going crazy & just want to get back to goofing around with everyone in my room & being able to work.
