cyber-friends than your Spouse, S/O, children?

How many have actually increased their interactions with family through email?

1. I met my husband in 2000 online, and we've been married
2 years (almost). I would say the biggest difference is...when you're online with someone, you get the filtered out version. They can type what they want, check it so it won't offend, etc. When you live with that person, you get them unfiltered. You get the cranky days, the crying days, the worrying days, the stupid days... Also, when you are online with someone, you have their full attention. They interact with YOU. Offline you get to see them interact with other people. Finally, even though it might SEEM like two people have everything in common online, in person it's a lot different. My husband and I have a lot in common, stuff we talked about online and a lot that is different, stuff we were shocked to learn about in person.
