Your wife's been contacting them, telling them you're cheating, and asking them to disappear. Which they do because they don't want to be named in a divorce suit.
LOL! i bust out laughing every time i read this.

It has everything to do with you putting your expectations on people/strangers that use a public free site.

and...#5 below - could be that you're plan B, or plan C. Maybe they started corresponding with someone who's a better match for them, and they want to focus on the other person that seems more interesting. Just consider yourself lucky that they didn't waste more of your (or their) time if they already knew you weren't a good match. And don't see any of it as a waste, see it as a learning experience and just life.
or a variant of #3 - there were no signs, but they just changed their mind, or something you said made them realize you're not for them.
I know it's kinda irritating, but also kinda pointless to top post about it here. I won't comment on you or your profile, which I think is wrong, unless you ask.

On several occasions I've failed to reply to a message from someone.
Why?
Because:
1. There was nothing to reply to - the conversation was already limping painfully to an undignified death.
2. The sender had said something so dumb or crass that any reply would have exceeded my snark quota for the year.
3. The sender had ignored subtle and not-so-subtle signs that I didn't want to continue to chat with them.
4. Something had come up in r/l that was a lot more urgent, and I simply forgot to respond.
5. Any one of a thousand other reasons.
Experience has shown me that sending a polite but firm message that I don't want to continue a conversation usually results in either a rabid attack on my looks/personality/parentage, or seriously embarrassing and pathetic whining. Rarely does it end well.
