When I was 13, my friends and I were chatting on yahoo messenger and they decided to introduce me to someone new. His name was Nate. He was the same age as us and I liked him from the start. He was very blunt and honest, stating his opinion openly. One thing about him; he lived in California. My friends and I lived in a tiny town in Kansas. We talked every day after school, but our schedules were very different, and sometimes I'd sneak up to talk to him in the middle of the night. I found out a lot about him just chatting with him. Eventually I developed a crush on him. We 'went out' for a while, but it was off and on. I was unstable for various reasons, and this situation was too complicated for me to deal with at the time. I broke it off several times, but the last time, I provoked him to break up with me, and we got into a huge fight and we didn't talk for about a year. All of that commotion lasted about a year as well, so when we were about 15, we started talking again. He was back with this crazy girl and I was having my own issues but all those old feelings I had for him came back. Apparently they did for him as well. Eventually, both our problems cleared up and we got together in January of 2007. Though we'd never met face to face, we both had the technology to talk and see each other every day. Because of all the cyber crime, my parents never knew that Nate had always lived in California. My friends, Nate and I all came up with an elaborate story stating that he'd lived in Kansas with us until about 7th grade (age 13), then moved to California so that he could be closer to the rest of his family. We kept that secret for nearly 3 years. Nate and I have kept a strong relationship. We've talked about the future, about what would happen when we were of age, and things like that. We tried to arrange visits for summer vacation and spring break, but neither of our families were wealthy enough to afford it. Now we're both 18. He came to visit me in September, and I went back with him and am currently living with him. I've been living with him for almost 2 full months now. We went from never seeing each other face to face, to living in the same house. I couldn't be happier with our relationship. It seems like a drastic move, doesn't it? What do you guys think about the situation we are in? What about the story we told my family? I want to know what you think about the whole thing so leave me anything on your mind!
