6 years of living together is pretty solid evidence.

As I said before you need a lot of evidence of time actually in the same place physically......not video chats.

I'm sure the CO would not be amused if you answer the question like that.  Did you both actually live together in the same residence for those 6 years?

How does your mother feel

about you not giving her grandchildren - yes this is a question they can ask you at the interview. 
 

Dating online does not count for physically together. 
 

How many days for each trip were you physically in your wife’s  presence? 
 

Has she met your family?

Do they approve? 
How did they feel about you marrying in another country? 
Are you both the same religion? 

On the plus side she could move to you.
