In Topic: Online Relationships

10 October 2012 - 02:42 PM

I know this thread is old but I read some of the responses and just had to pop in and reply..

I don't believe they work for extended periods of time if they are purely online relationships with no real life interaction whatsoever. I, however, am living proof that online relationships do work and can develop into something more.

I met my current partner online almost four years ago - she's Australian, I'm a New Zealander. We clicked immediately and 'dated' online for a few months before things went downhill. We kept some form of contact over the years and every so often one of us would snap and send the other a lovelorn confession about how much we missed them and how it never should have been like this but then things would continue as usual and we'd live our separate lives until it happened again. We never stopped stalking each other's posts on forums/blogs or Facebooks, though ;p

It was when my current partner got into two relationships over the course of 2010 that I realized how jealous I was and how stupid it was to let someone like her go. I sent her a huge outpouring of my feelings and everything was touch and go for a while. Things crumbled for a couple of weeks early last year due to some minor issues but we started talking about 'us' in a serious manner in late May, started our relationship in July, and met for the first time in November. She was with me for two weeks and all but a few days later we had decided we needed to be together permanently. She booked plane tickets to move here mid-December and later changed them so she could come back even earlier than originally planned. We've now been living together for 9 months and have been together for 15 months, and still have the same powerful, all-encompassing chemistry we did when we first met. It's the most incredible and fulfilling relationship I've ever been in, and I don't plan on letting it go. Ever.

Really, though.. who's to say your soulmate is located anywhere near you? With 6 billion people in the world, your chances are pretty slim. Why not expand your chances of finding them and just let things pass as they must?

tl;dr: cool love story bro

this kind of behaviour exhibited by men - attempts at classifying and telling women what they are/should be - is the APEX of patriarchal oppression. you posting this thread has proved how inherently sexist you are.

(i know i'm feeding the troll and that he can't even see this but ugh)
