Okay, I have a fiancé. I'm happy just for this fact, but the situation is pretty unusual.

Y'see, we met online on a message board about two years ago. We both live in the United states, but on opposite ends of the country(she in California, I in Ohio). I'm an undiagnosed aspie and she has emotional problems. Well it made her more negative, but twords herself, thus her inferiority complex and lack of self-confidence.

We took a liking to each other quite fast, even just chatting on the IM. Then Valentines day came. We never even thought of meeting IRL, let alone go on a real date, but I liked her enough and "asked her out" as my girlfriend. She said yes, and we then gained the boyfriend/girlfriend title.

We opened up a little more to each other, and even shared a couple photos of ourselves. But considering that I never had a job before in all my 24 years, her family thinks I'm not worthy enough for her, let alone thinking of meeting her as my girlfriend. Though that didn't stop me from proposing to her on new year's day. I know,we never even met IRL, yet I wanted to marry this girl. Not supprisingly to me, she said yes.

Now, a few months later, I saved up a decent bit of cash, but I don't think I can make it if I move clear across the country away from my family, without a roommate or the uncirtainty I have of ever getting and keeping a job. I do have a friend that said she'd move with me as a roommate(who coincadentally has a boyfriend of her own in Cali), but she never had a job either.



tl;dr-I'm in a long-distance relationship with my fiancé that I've never met IRL. Is there anyone that delt with a successful internet relationship? I know that as long as we both have the will for it, it'll work out, but things still seem pretty hopeless ATM. Comments? Questions?? Suggestions??

She's in college right now, but I had to drop out of school(9th grade :( ) to help take care of my grandpa(who passed away 3 years ago).

Goto her schools website and lookup:
1) Can you get in with a GED?(if your smart enough to post here you can pass it)
2) How much is out-of-state tution?
3) How long to become a state resident.
4)Do they have family housing available?
Note some states out-of-state tution maybe lowwer then her/your states
in-state tution.

What?! That is ridiculous! You cannot have a fiancé who you have never met IRL! That is just plain ridiculous. It is as ridiculous as getting married at age 12.

By all means continue the relationship, and good luck with that, but she is not really your fiancé.

By definition, you're right. But I think that as long as we both have the will for it, it'll work out.

Saying that you want to marry someone that you have never met in real life is just plain foolishness.

I'm not looking at his words. I do not care if he gets married.
I only care that he is not alone. Having asperger means he will
have a very limited choice of relationships in life. In other words
while you have a girlfriend EMP many people with asperger may
never. I'm not a virgin but I've never had a girlfriend. I had
those chances like Kazami has now that I failed to execute on
(being too picky and/or shy). I think it is a very good idea for
him to goto college and meet this girl in the real world. If he
gets married and its a nightmare. Well guess what most the
time it turns out to be a nightmare anyway. Is it better to
never been in love or to have been in love and it go bad?


I already said:

Kazami...you need to meet her IRL. You need to spend time together...marriage is 24/7....you are dealing with someone else who isn't you, who may have the same interests and beliefs...but doesn't think like you, may not always understand you... and maybe has a few habits that will drive you up a wall...and vice-versa...you need to know if you are truly a perfect match for each other or will drive each other insane with time.

I don't want to sound discouraging...I truly hope you've found your "soulmate"...but you definately don't want to rush anything.

I understand where you're comming from. The majority of ppl that marry nowadays don't marry for true love, so everyone uses that as the basis for every relationship situation. But her and I are in love... at least as in love as 2 ppl can get that never met IRL before. Sure we've never met IRL yet, we've known each other for 2 whole years. We never get mad at each other and we always understand each other. We're a lot more compatable than anyone I've ever known that got married.

And we wasn't planning on rushing into anything... we're planning on going on real dates IRL. But we're eventually getting married no matter what.
