Online relationship success stories
We all know, it's hard to make it work out. It may be questionable whether it's actually easier or harder to maintain than RL ones, but we've all gotta admit that the risk of it NOT working out when it's brought to RL long term is quite substantial. I've been through many sites and communities, some which flat out scoffed at it.
However, I've heard that some people here in RL, long-term D/s relationships actually did start out online.. or perhaps some of you may know others who have. T'would be nice to hear some encouragement once in a while, so... Could you guys tell us a bit about your relationship? How long did you maintain it online before moving RL? What was the hardest part? What was the most important thing that made it work? How did you find the transition from online to RL like?... And all that sort of stuff. :)
1.32 Online Relationship(s)
Relationship 1: Was with this wonderful, amazing guy, Chris who part of me will always love... I met him in a military chatroom that I spent alot of time in talking to my friends who were out of country or on varrious bases around the States. He lives in South Africa. He was a friend of a friend and one day while I was talking to one of our mutual friends and viewing his webcam he said that he had to go check out 'something' and then the camera died and he was logged out. So I was a little freaked out. Chris and I started talking and he was saying stuff like "It was probably nothing. just a technical problem" We started talking and getting to know eachother. He was comming over to the US during my spring break and we made plans to spend some time together. And I was going to be going to SA that summer. The week before he comming over he and his ex wife started talking and then he and I started talking about it, their relationship, and their divorce. And basicly I told him that it sounded to me that he still was in love with her and that I thought that they needed to give it another chance. Now they're re-married and have a baby. Even though we're not together I consider it to have been a succesful relationship.
Relationship .32: I met this guy the same awy that Chris and I met. But that relationship never really went beyond the friendship phase.
