You just answered the question yourself, you cannot compete with someone he can touch and kiss. The idea of "being together" was never going to work because your both in different states, could you both really just drop everything in your life and move in together in another state? He became distant because he saw it going no where plus your behind a computer screen and a mobile, there is no interaction between the both of you. If there is no meet up and actual meet up, the connection between two people does not work.
Move on, there is no point waiting, the situation is already very clear. You opened up to him and now he knows everything about your past and people still do judge on that. But distance is the main factor here, let go enjoy life and do the things that make you yourself.
