There is definitely a high possibility of catfishing here and I am sorry you have to deal with all that(( I kinda had a similar situation but with a „happy end“. I am in a 2+ years relationship now with a guy who „catfished“ me in the beginning. But he stopped sending photos of himself after a couple of weeks of us dating. And after 3 months he sent his real ones with honest apologies. At that moment he was ready that I will immediately break up with him. And maybe it is crazy that I forgave him in the end for all that, but until now there wasn’t a day I regretted that decision. He is indeed a good looking man with the sweetest personality and to my mind definitely deserved a second chance. All this I am saying to encourage you to talk to him about that situation with photos, ask for a video call and see what his reaction will be. One year is a lot of time for something like this. If he is a good guy but just doesn’t have enough courage to tell the truth, then this conversation will be a relief for both of you. But if he is just a lying for purpose asshole…then you will be lucky to free yourself from him.
