Finally moving in with my Wife of over a year and a half.

So I am going home for the first time EVER! I have been married for over a year and a half. How is this possible you may ask yourself? I will be moving in with my wife for the first time. I am in the United States Army. My wife and I met online, on a chat website you may have heard of it Pal Talk. we met in Dec. 08 and have physically been together oh 6 or 7 months in that time to now. You know little visits here and there. We have spent all of the leave time I have had and her spring breaks, and summers, unless I was deployed to Iraq. Well its time for me to be on my way to her. The excitement is unexplainable. I am also scared I have never lived with her. I am scared that all of my bad habits (i.e. tossing my clothes on the bathroom floor, leaving the toilet seat up, the way I put the grocery's up)you know all the small things that shouldn't really matter by now cause we have had the time to "feel each other out" well we haven't had that time. I am happy we will have the chance to do those things now. I am just worried that her and I will butt heads. My wife is a very independent woman (One of the best things about her) which she needs to be married to a military man. I have been living like a bachelor eating noodles in a cup, all the "great fun stuff" I HATE IT. It is time to gt home and "feel each other out". I'll keep you all in the loop of how it is moving along for us. Thanks for your time.

I just want to warn you that an online relationships is leagues different from an in-person relationship and even more different still from living together. I met my husband online, we chatted online for 7 months before we met in person and we were together for just over 2 years before we moved in together. It took well over a year to get used to living under the same roof together. It was extremely difficult.

Thats sad that your wife and you have gotten so little time to spend together. I hope that you met her and dated her awhile before just going right into a marriage with someone you didnt know other then online. Thats so awesome that you will finally get to be with her all the time. Try your best to take care of things yourself so she wont have to pick up after you all the time. Living together takes a lot of work honestly.

You know sometimes I feel that I know my wife better since we have been together mostly online. How many couples out there can say that they can sit and talk on the phone with their "other half" for hours on end with out getting bored. We talk we know each others "limits" we know its going to be tough. Im just woried that I'll forget the small things that i see as no big deal that will get to her. I think to much on these things I know its going to be great.

Congratulation to you for returning your own country and a new marriage life. In the older day, the Chinese married without knowing each other. A couple got to know each other through a middle woman (Normally Woman) In your case, you are better than them. You still have a chance to chat online before going together. Wish you all the best. Happy new marriage. Get your kids earlier !!! ha! ha! ha!
