Relationships are what you make of it. If both people are fine with just having a pimd relationship then so be it. Have wedding wars for the rest of your life if you want. It's when you yearn for that physical interaction that finally gets you and reality sinks in. "Online" is all it'll be until both decides to take the next step. I personally haven't had a wedding war, but my love Eggy flew down (what would have been a 14 hour drive) to be with me all of last week. We met on pimd, but we're making it work. So not all online relationships have to crash and burn.
Just saw this thread now, I agree 100% Cal ! Having an online relationship is a good thing and some people end up being together in life although in saying this, you can never be heart broken or feel as though your life will end because your ONLINE partner has a found a real person whom she/he can physically see and touch Jasper and I have been together for about a year now from when we were reunited, during that time we got married and now have 2 gorgeous kids! In saying this, Jasper has had this app for 2 years now and has had an online relationship to another user whom he grew close with. The girl who he was with was a really nice and lovely lady but she stated "my life will end, I live him so much and now he's leaving me" I shall not be mentioning any names but seriously... !! You can't be heartbroken and you have to respect your partner has found someone they truly love. Again Jasper has had a few more girls on here say they love him and said "you can do better" 2 of which have deactivated and left PIMD. 1 is still on PIMD and is a fairly popular player. But no one can be upset in an online relationship cause let's face it... You don't really know the person your with It took me a while to think of this and I know I may offend some but it's just my personal opinion. To the popular user here who did say those things to Jasper, you know who you are and I hold no grudge against you! and hopefully you and Jasper can be friends again cause he rather enjoyed talking to you ~ Sophie
The problem with this is if you got poor or no reception at all, then you're screwed (no internet connection). Also, chinese mmo bot farmers spend more time online than your partner ever will (assuming he/she isn't a wired thing).
I think it's fine as long as both parties are on the same page. I don't think all people that have wedding wars are madly in love with each other; it's just something fun and they may care about each other in a I-love-you-as-a-friend kind of way, not necessarily in love. But I have a cousin who met his wife online and they're happily married and recently had a baby girl. So I know online relationships can work out, it's just a matter of being open and clear on what both parties want/expect out of the relationship.
It's all fine and dandy.....Unless they're married and doing things they shouldn't. I never understood that, but I finally did with my human sexuality book (Don't laugh, it was an interesting chapter before the test). If you're not happy, why stay and cheat on your partner? Being single isn't that bad, a lot better than being in a relationship where you feel you have to lie about your feelings while having multiple sexting flings online. I think the worst thing any one can do is engage in those activities not only when they're married (or in a relationship already), but when they also have kids. But that's all my opinion.
I am thinking we have a lot of broken hearts in here. On a scale from 1 to Adele, how tough was your breakup?
Personally, I'm ok with online relationships, because while some don't work out.... Others do. You could meet the man/woman of your dreams here and go live a life together in real life. Though the person could also be lying through their teeth to you and how would you know? If you want to, I say go for it. You just need to know that you can't always see them and touch them, whenever you want. And that can take a toll on a relationship.
