I do respect everyones opinion and if I come across doing the oposite then I do sincerley apologise. As far as convincing myself my marriage will work out, no, I have no need to do that. I know in my heart that Ian is the one. I just don't agree with anyone getting special treatment due to how their own relationship started. That is what I honestly got out of Jenn as her belief. Lets face it, all of us here have our own stories to tell. God knows I do. IF I were to go on about my whole life, we would all be here for months. I have seen so much and been through so much in my own life and often wondered what the hell I did wrong to deserve this #######. Then I started growing as a person and realised that things do happen for a reason. What has happened to me in my own life has made me stronger it just took me a while to see that. For once in my life, I am at peace and I am happy. It doesnt mean to say that things like this arent going to upset me. I may come across as being upset for now but at the end of the day when I lay my head down, I know that I have made the right choices and for all those that talk ill about me, they don't matter. Ian is my heart and soul. I would never put him on a pedestol because it would be too far to reach him. TOgether we walk through this marriage side by side, hand in hand, hearts intertwined. If you see us, you wouldnt be able to tell that we had met online. Its like we have known eachother all our lives. Even then we still pleasantly surprise one another.

To Jenn, I do apologise if I seemed catty. That wasn't my intention at all. I just dont think you should feel as if one relationship deserves a green card any other way over another. (hope that makes sense lol). Part of growing as a person means that you are open minded to what others think. Surely you can understand that without taking offense. I truly know where my heart is regardless of how we met. And I would hate for anyone to take away our chance of being together merely because of how we met.

Thanks..

I do think that people who have been together that have met once for lets say a few days also one which there is no fluent common language spoken should be held to more scrutiny than others.

Would you agree or disagree with that?

Frances, that's where we were, hahahahah

[Laura_and_IanM 0]

Well said, Laura.

Thanks JENT..lol OMG it let me swear in my last post...did i see that right?? lol hmmmmm...better not push it eh?

Frances, two friends of mine were walking in the town centre. One of them is tall one of them is really short, Some chavs walked up to them & said to the tall one

'Giz us a tab or I'll hit yer mate, oh'

Lisa, I cant honestly answer that because I have never been there. Ian and I def met more than once and have been living together for almost a year before we got married. I do know of a couple that met for a few hours and ended up getting married that same day. They were together for 60+ years...but that doesnt mean it would end up that way for everyone. (and yes he was english speaking and she was german speaking). I can understand that it would be hard...I for one have not got the patience of JOB so I can personally say that someone with whom I couldnt have a conversation with properly would really get on my ####### but I wouldnt scrutinize someone else for doing it. We are all different and handle things differently.

I hope that helps?!

How to spot a Chav

Chavs have such a tribal dress code that you can spot one yards away! Now what makes the Chavs attire so funny is that they think they are at the cutting edge fashion and that by adorning their body with hunks of worthless 9ct gold ####### they look rich! In reality what they do look like are a bunch of ###### pikeys! With this handy field guide, if you count more than 2 points on a single person, you are almost certainly looking at a Chav!

But my point is this:

if you're separated by oceans, lands, whatever and only have email, phone, etc

yet you two don't speak a common language

what is a relationship based on?

Seriously, if someone has a way to point out something I'm missing, then please do.

Laura...

Yeah, get back to me, and yeah, it's meant to be rude too imo

my face chav shirt...warning, it's rude

[Dixie_Peach 1]

I suppose if you want to let what other people do bother you...*shrug* My point is WHY be bothered? Who the frick cares what anyone else does?

I agree, we've all probably got enough to worry about in our own day to day lives without being bothered what others think.

I left this thread yesterday and everything had been sorted out amicably.

What happened in my opinion was that there was a miscommunication and things went haywire from there. These kinds of mis-understandings are common with online threads, as some people speak with their eyes, facial expressions, hands etc and so their point is often picked up wrong or lost.

People are going to disagree...and I agree with those who say that outside opinion shouldn't matter a damn if you're happy, We're not all going to agree on everything, but that doesn't mean a thing.

Everyone has a right to a differing opinion...that's why they make so many flavors of ice cream

I understand that.... but what is there to disagree when it comes to someone else's relationship? How can you (not you personally, but anyone who can't understand an online relationship where people haven't met "enough") disagree or agree for that matter that what they are doing is right? Because for every person disagreeing that you can't really know someone well enough with such limited physical time, there are just as many people disagreeing that people from different countries and cultures can't possibly make marriages work. No?

To me it's just about accepting that people have different comfort levels with the "non-traditional"

I do respect everyones opinion and if I come across doing the oposite then I do sincerley apologise. As far as convincing myself my marriage will work out, no, I have no need to do that.

Also (edit here lol), when I am upset..ask anyone that knows me..i do get over it pretty quick. Life is to ###### short to let things bring you down..~

Jamal and I did meet online... and spent mannnnnnnnnnny hours talking on the phone... the internet...

I spent 18 days with him in Morocco... and that was the most beautiful days of my life - aside from the birth of my son...

Love has no rhyme or reason... you don't pick and choose who your heart falls in love with... or the location... LOVE JUST IS!!! and Love knows no boundaries...

It doesn't bother me if someone stands in judgement of how I met Jamal... because those people do not walk a moment in my shoes... they don't know me... or my heart... and they are not a soothsayer... a fortune teller... Only God knows what is in my future... all I know is that I will follow my heart...

and I will love... and be loved...

I agree with what you are saying here and have wondered the same myself. How can there be communication in the relationship when there is no common language, and where they may only know how to say "hi" to eachother. I think maybe that's more rare but I have seen programs on TV that had this shown in a documentary, the men going to a foreign country to pick someone to marry, and the woman just wants to get out of their country. And they couldn't say more than 3 words to eachother but start making out and stuff. That does worry me, not for my sake but for their own sakes. (of course that kind of program is also what makes some Americans think anyone marrying someone from a different country is getting a mail order bride, which is rarely true , but occasionally it sure does appear that way.)
