Is it normal for hindu man to just break rel. with white woman

Hi:

If anyone can give me any information I would appreciate it.

I was involved with a Hindu man who lives in India who is much younger than me. I am a white Christian, divorced mother living in the US. We started as friends, but became much more serious over time to the point he was going to be moving to the US soon. He did not tell his parents about me, said he would do that when he came here. He would tell them he was coming here to work. He claims he lives more like the West, he lives in New Delhi, dated, lives with his brother. He said his mother would pick out someone for him to marry before we were involved as he is at the age he should marry. 27 I told him from the start this would not work and he insisted his parents were not like that so we made plans I rearranged my life. 2 weeks ago he was going to tell his brother everything, he only knew we were very close. I was supposed to call him at a certain time and he never picked up the phone. That was Sat. morning. When I talked to him on Monday, he said he could not marry me and said he did not want to say why. He was very close to my daughter and she wanted to talk to him. He told her he loves her mommy but cannot marry her. She asked why and he said his job. Now, that was not the case. The next thing he said is he does not want to talk to me anymore and not to call him. He has not responded to any calls nor emails I sent him. I asked him to please email my daughter as this has caused many problems. In fact, I was supposed to be going to India the following week and he said I can meet his brother but not his parents.

My question is if this is true, which at this point, I don't believe he ever meant anything, why would he just cut me out of his life with no explanation and never talk to me again. My daughter and he knew this was sick over this and I asked him to please talk to her and she will probably tell you she will pray for you and she won't be mad. Still nothing. He told me he will come here and we will be together 4 ever no one would change his mind he makes his own decisions and he wanted to treat my daughter as his own. The marriage plans were down the road.

Is there anything to do with his customs/religions that would make him act this way to just shut someone out with no explanation and be so nasty. Like is it a sin or something or does his customs/religion make him think he should act this way in order to be forgiven because maybe it is a sin to date me. I don't know I am asking someone please that knows about this to explain.

I have never heard of anything like this in my life. It makes me think he lied from the start, but if he did, he is the best I have ever seen.

Thank you
