Opinions About My Long-Term Relationship? - 05-12-2008, 01:12 AM

I was wondering about some of your opinions about my situation.

Okay. I joined a forum last year and I fell in love with a boy on that forum who's from Australia. I live in America, so we're really REALLY far away from each other. In about 7 months after joining that forum, we became boyfriend and girlfriend. Then we gave each other pictures of ourselves, and we also talk on Skype. Our age difference is about a 4 year difference. (I'm 13 and he's 16)

I think he's more in love with me than with him, and he's becoming determined to marry me someday; even though he's never met me physically. Then we had a conflict about my religion and he almost killed himself because he thought he couldn't be with me. We're back together again, and he's going to try to become a Christian now, because he wants to marry me someday. My mother said that he's starting to live in a fantasy future and that he needs to realize what he's in for, but my boyfriend's parents seem fine about it all.

We've been dating online for 4 months now. ^_^

---

So, what do you think? Is it impossible to meet? To marry? Or do you think that it is possible? I was just wondering, because so far I only have a few people's opinions about it. I'm merely curious. This is my first boyfriend. ^_^;

Well, my advice is to be careful. Because you never know how people you never met really are. I have a friend who didd this and they broke up after a while. But you could always set up a way to meet one summer or something....I'm not really sure. I haven't had a bf before so I can't really say.


Think you can control me? Well you're wrong. Do you see how strong I can be? Do you see how weak I really am. The pages in the book turn, as another chapter in my life closes. I'm a new girl now. One of the future, not the past. To late to dwell on what has come, yet to early to see what is to be. I'm a new girl now, living for the future...not the past.

yeah i agree. you have to really be careful with these kind of things. i should know, there was once a time when i met this guy in Italy, and we were really good freinds then started going out and then i moved. we tryed to keep in touch, but it just didnt seem to work out with the time differnence.

and you also have to into consideration as to what YOU FEEL!!!! you have to know, or else you ccould end up hurting, not only yourself, but him too.

I'm a bit terrified within your situation. But, as long as you're careful, I think it's fine.


Thanks for reading!

You are 13? You are no where near ready to be in this kind of relationship. Realistically, people shouldn't even begin to think about marriage until they are about 25. The success rates of marriage before 25 is much lower than after.

The word marriage shouldn't even be in your vocabulary.

Aside from your Mother's assessment of his creating a fantasy being correct, there are other major obstacles: age, distance, cultures and religion.

Age is the biggest right now. I won't go into whether you are old enough to be considering marriage, but the gap between most 16 and 13 years olds is considerable. Most teens, especially girls, change drastically from about your age through the rest of their teens. You should wait till you are at least out of high school and your perspective on the world has broadened. If he can wait till he is 21, he will be better off too. My guess is that what is really binding you to each other is shared feelings of loneliness and not seeing other options for a caring relationship, more than real love. That is not a good basis for marriage.

Stay close friends for the next few years and see how things evolve. That will give you time to make practical polans for overcoming the other obstacles, if you still want to by then.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.

What everyone else said...

I'd also add that his behaviour doesn't seem to be normal. I mean he almost killed himself!!!? I don't know about your situation but from what you've said it sounds like he is mentally unstable... though I suppose he might just be 16 and angsty/emo

I am not trying to be mean here, but you should really be careful. People that usually say they want to kill themselves over an online relationship are usually just looking for attention. :/
