Relationship It Was So Prefect Until...

so im in a relationship with a man i met on the internet, he lives thousands km away from me. everything was so smooth and perfect to me. we are now 3 months dating. i admit that this relationship was not something i expected, i never knew that i will fall for him. i fall for his personality. he might look so masculine outside, hair cut, style, body shape, but when i see him, i know he is so beautiful inside he is so i dont know how to describe it, but when i stare at him (skype or his picture) i felt something thats uncommon, its something different from any other guys i ever dated. it was so calm, peaceful, like i no longer have that guard. after all of those ups and downs we had like every couple did im sure, one day he told me he will have a conference for a week. a week without communicating is crazy, it drives me crazy. but the day he arrived home, he said we will have a serious talk. that day, he told me theres no a week conference, he went to have a therapy, he has been emotionally numb for two years. before he told me this, i know i can see a future with him and we both want it. i appreciate him for being so brave telling me this one, it hurts when he told me he doesnt feel love but he cares about me, he want to build something strong with me and he told me that he had emotional connection with me. he told me that he is a bit denial that he felt numb and some of it could be him trying to convince him self. he told me he needs me to support him. it tears me up whenever i remember about this. and honestly, im confuse, how can i differ the thing he said to me that he seriously mean and feel it or he just pretend and fake it?. sure i have a lot of questions but he never willing to tell me the detail, maybe it hurts him so i didnt force him to tell me. i have no plan to give up, my inner voice told me that theres a hope for him. i will take the risk if one day he woke up from his sleep and want to over this like his previous relationship, i dont mind at all. i want to be there to support him. what can i do? what should i do? he lives thousands km away and we met from internet, i really really want him to feel emotions again, im sure it hurts him as well as i am, but lets say if he is not ready for the roller coaster ride, i dont mind if i have to take the bike ride or a walk with baby step with him.
 
I don't think skypeing is a "relationship". How can yo be sure he isn't isolating from his girlfriend and using you as a distraction because you know nothing about him really and he can just pretend with you? If he has PTSD and has trouble feeling emotion...he will have trouble feeling it for you too....how do you see any future here? Do you think he will ask you to move in with him? He is keeping a lot of secrets sounds like to me.....and he has already admittedly lied to you....
