OMG, like seriously. What a roller coaster this last year has been for me. A year ago I was engaged to a man I really didn't like. I felt like I was pressured to be with him because that was what my family and his expected after being together for 2+ years. And then last March, I had enough. I was miserable with him. I broke off our engagement after getting encouragement from people on VSS and close friends IRL. And when the lease was up on our apartment in April (yeah, a month of hell living with him after we broke up) I took another risk. I got together with a guy I knew from the internet for a year (played video games together ). I flew across the country to meet him. It was a rocky start but after a couple days we clicked. By the time that week was up, I realized that this was the right man for me. I flew back east, packed up some belongings, saw my family one last time, and then moved west to be with Joey. Half of my family resents me for what I did and we're not on good terms. 7 months later, I feel more in love with him every day. When he travels for work, I feel completely lost without him and he calls me 4-5 times a day just to hear my voice. I feel so special and beautiful. And 7 months after we officially met, he proposed to me. This engagement feels so right to me. Thanks for the encouraging words I received from the people of VSS. You guys helped me make the best decision of my life. As of right now, we plan on marrying this spring.

Wow! So happy for you! Congratulations on your courage and determination - going against family expectations can be hard (I know!), and I'm glad it has led you to love.

*hugs* I hope you don't take this as talking about myself - it's meant as encouragement. I knew John was it after six weeks of dating. And here we are - together for 11 years and married for 8 later this month. I am wishing you all the happiness I have had and more, and I am holding you and your fiance in my heart. And go you for doing the right thing for you despite pressure!

Congratulations! I think it's very romantic, and wish you the best of happiness.
I met my husband of 7 years (been with him 10 though), through video gaming too. We never played together though, but we played with the same group of people during different times of the day.
