Why does long-distance betrayal hurt in a different way?

Because you gave up ordinary things — time, evenings, sometimes a city — for a relationship that existed mostly on faith. The loss includes everything you postponed for it.

How do I go no contact when we only ever talked online?

The same way, minus the geography: the messages are the relationship, so they are what changes. Our guide to the no contact rule covers how people set it up and what the first week is like.

Is there help for rebuilding a life I put on hold?

That is much of what the Recovery Companion's 21 days are for — reclaiming small parts of your own week, one step at a time.
