We didn't have an online BDSM relationship, but I did meet my husband online. We've been married over 14 years now. I know a few other couples who have met online and had successful marriages.

The transition from O/L to R/L was a bit odd, i must say. We knew each other pretty well, but actually meeting him in person was strange. It was like part of the relationship had progressed to one point, but another part hadn't progressed at all. It took some getting used to, actually being with him.
