another success story here. i met my wife on the internet over 2 yrs ago and our first anniversary is coming up sunday (help! any ideas on what to do?
) and our child was born a little over 3 weeks ago. she is the most perfect woman for me that i could ever have imagined.
i do understand your feelings though cd, i felt the same way when her and i 'met'. i was just in the beginning of a divorce and everyone, myself most of all, thought it was some wacky rebound thing. how the hell could i fall in love with someone whom i've never met.. never even physically laid eyes upon??!?! after talking (IM'ing) constantly over 3 months we had to see. i spent 3 days with her and it sealed the deal. we felt we had known each other for years and
knew we had to be together. within 7 months she moved down here.. with her 2 kids.. and things have been incredible.
conversely, we have known many 'couples' whom have dedicated themselves to each other.. until it was too hard. we knew one woman who fell madly passionately in love about twice a year and had 3 kids by 3 different guys.. all that she's met on the internet. she was just leaving her kids with a guy friend to meet another man that she'd known 3 weeks when she decided that our questions were insulting. another woman we knew sold her house and all the possesions that she couldnt take with her only to the 'love of her life' disappear when he was supposed to send her the plane ticket to move to be with him.
i felt weird at first, but now i hear of such success stories more frequently and i feel kinda proud to have made it work and to be happy.
if you.. or anyone else.. would like to talk more about it or compare experiences, dont hesitate to PM and i'll be sure to get back to you.
