I have a few online friends now that I've had since I was barely a teenager (oh, the days). Do I know them well? Yes. But the offline communication, face to face interaction, is still completely missing. There's a LARGE sense of personality that only comes with real human interaction. Online, you know facts about a person and maybe hints of their personality, but it's impossible to subsitute that with day to day interaction. Imagine if you only knew your parents (or something similar) through texts and the occassional phone call.
Reading her first post, I actually got the opposite feel of what you're saying. I felt that she hadn't spent a lot of time with him. Normal vacations don't last that long, and moving in doesn't take but a few hands and a pretty day (persuasion to move in probably would take too long either).

There is so much to learn once couples actually live together.
We all have habits-- good and bad that can irritate the other like crazy.
I don't think we would ever know someone merely from online or letters etc.
That might give thoughts-- but nothing about the real person.
