Nope. Sorry, sister. But he started wrong and he got the seep of his action by him actually doing fitnah and talking to strange women online. If we actually implemented the true Islamic law in action, my harsh words would be his least worries. In fact...if we where to implement the Islamic 100% to the dot, the backbiting will be crime and people will be either executed or go to prison for just backbiting. Remember, backbiting is worse than eating the flesh of your brother. Being sympathetic all the time is not way of solving problems period. I am sympathetic if he comes from an abusive family or his family died or he wrongfully imprisoned and tortured...or he sacrificed his entire life for his family and they all stabbed him...yes.
But for him to go online (dating website might as well) and chatting with non-mahrim women...there and then any sympathy I have have left the window. Then he missed all the red signs and in addition he thinks he knows how to play the relationship game!! :facepalm::facepalm: Nope. Sorry. He should do istigfar, repent and learn from his lesson and never do this again.
By the way, when you asked all these maybe questions aren't they all ever reasons to indicate what I said is true? He is not mature emotionally. He is not mature for relationship. He was never taught how to actually find the right partner and what is his role as men and what to expect. It is ever more reason why he should not have went to dating online from the first place! He should have done it the proper Islamic way to begin with. And all you maybe questions you asked there? Ever more reason why boys are in crisis and need to be raised by their fathers at certain age and not their mothers. Age seven the father should have 100% custody of his sons (as long as he is a good man, saleh and can bring benefit to the child) instead of visiting the child ones a year to say hi and then bye. Otherwise I will laugh when I hear women complain where are the good men. I will not feel sorry for them, but clap my hands and laugh my butt out.
Brother...stop going to dating site. Stop chatting with women online. Stop having dating relationship. My suggestion is take a break from relationship for one full year. Yes...one full year. Clear your mind, clear your heart. Who knows perhaps you will be thinking of improving yourself even more financially, educational wise or even run your own business? Focus on yourself for now. Improve yourself. Focus on saving your money and investing and making sure you are secure in old age. Go out there and do things for cause of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Talaa) by helping poor family in Middle East, sponsor a child, help abused animals, build for yourself. When you are ready for relationship after a year, do it right this time. Bring your family and have them to help you. Bring sheikh, or people in the mosque to help you. DO it halala way and learn the difference between hayawa,saleh women in how they act vs how majority act. But before you do find the saleh woman...make sure you are saleh too and fix yourself and your heart.

He started wrong by wanting to find a girl to marry? So he is not allowed to look for one? Not allowed to investigate her? (sure, the methods he used were wrong, but thats because he probably didnt know any better, not because he abandoned his religion). Even you saw the new post about that guy who married the unfaithful woman and had a child with her. Look at how miserable his life is now, just because he did not good correct investigation about her even though it was islamic. And now you seem to suggest that it is not allowed to get to know a sister though online chatting?
Problem with the second part is that your saying " "IF" we were to implement the islamic 100% to the dot" ... problem is we are not, yet you still want him to follow islam 100% without us being able to do it in the first place. This is one form of hypocrisy. The boy is seeing the fitna we let onto our children left and right with nothing to counter it except speeches now and then from parents talking about islamic things. Rarely through action or leading by example, so why do we expect the youth to be any better when the sources their their learning from are flawed?
You expect him to not do a mistake in his action, in his research, in his emotions, and his thinking process? How and based on what when everything around him is flawed? By realizing the mistakes of his forefathers and whatnot? He doesnt even have the understanding of how these things are flaws, heck ... people who are new to things don't even realize where things could go wrong let alone what type of wrong they might face. There are so many things that you assume incorrectly and judge him based on that. You assume that he should have the same knowledge that you have and that he has the same fears and precaution mentality that you do. He hasnt gained the experience yet and to be honest is much better to learn from mistakes than from a person speaking without full understanding. (so long as that mistake doesnt lead to extreme pain). But in your case you seem to have been hurt sooo much saw that you wouldnt even trust the most pious girl alive today and this is no way to live brother. Islam did indeed ask us to make sure of our safety first, but it also calls for moderation so do take precautions but not to the extent to what your calling for.
You say being sympathetic all the time isnt good and i agree. but when its there isnt of blaming the victim when they did hardly anything out of the ordinary then your creating a monster not teaching someone. Your pushing your hate and harsh filtered view of the world on to him from a young age and he will grow up thinking there is no such things a true love or happy family in this flawed world. He doesnt need that right now. he doesnt deserve it. He is still new to things and still learning.
You assume that he has been doing relationships for years now when maybe its his first. You assume that he should think like a grown adult when he's probably just reached young adulthood ... far from his 30s. There is much indeed of what needs to be learned. But not in this negative light you portray it to be in. Main point is, i personally believe he didnt do anything out of the ordinary. He experienced his first heartbreak and we should help him back up instead of keeping him down and showing him how awful it is down there by continuously blaming him and punishing him for falling.You expect him to not do a mistake in his action, in his research, in his emotions, and his thinking process?
