You've discussed getting married and you've never met? This does not seem good to me. A lot can go wrong between chatting on the phone or skype and meeting in person. People give off a VERY different vibe in person.

I was in a LDR for 5 years. I met him through Twitter because we had similar interests and followed each other's racing adventures. Eventually we became friends beyond Twitter and began chatting online then on the phone (kind of pre-Skype). Our feelings became romantic but we both recognized that we would need to meet up before we took anything further. When we met up in person, we were definitely attracted to each other and started a real LDR. We saw each other a few times a year (he lived in Canada and I in the US). And we talked every day. We were both employed and independent.

But we did not even discuss marriage until we had been in a real relationship for a year. I feel like you are letting some fantasy that you want of love to dictate what will happen with this man instead of proceeding cautiously and recognizing that you haven't met him yet and so can only know him partially. How can you discuss marriage with someone you only know partially?

I'm sorry if I'm being a downer. If it's the real deal, I'm happy for you. And I absolutely agree you can find love online, but I worry that your confusing reality and fantasy.
