I cannot imagine talking with anybody for up to 8 hours non-stop. And it is not that I cannot listen attentively or talk at length myself. But this is... not wrong, but highly, highly unusual. Most people would not be able to talk for 8 hours non-stop even with their twin siblings. A lot of fathers are non-present, but not a lot of daughters would talk for that long non-stop, so your dad's non-presence cannot explain such an unusual setup in your current life. I guess if it feels like home and if you met his friends via phone, it is REAL and not imaginary, and, if it feels like home, stay with it, but - with that kind of time involvement, would you ever find time for a relationship that can lead to a marriage? From your first paragraph it appears that marriage is you medium-term goal. Due to a combination of factors such as country of residence and state of health, this man would not marry you. So talking to him for that long does not advance you in what appears to be a fairly pressing goal for you, since you are 34 almost. So I would not say that it is WRONG - it is, rather, COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE/

again, I am just assuming that if you wrote what you wrote about marriage you want to be married
