I went therer to live with my father after my parents got divorced.I met him when I was in 7th grade.
What if you met while doing study abroad, but already knew them from some other online contact, but prior to that barely had a friendship, let alone a relationship, and only called them out of sheer and utter desperation?

Or because you were bored and wanted to fool around.I know the feeling.

That came a few hours later when I was drunk off my arse. At the time I called though, I was really, really, really pissed and frustrated and pissed off again.
met on study abroad in 1991 - married 15 years later after living together due to working abroad

What is the deal with people starting a poll that we can't possibly vote? Because you only give options that would fit you? Does it lack you brain to put some thought to the subject? Or are u way too damn bored you don't give a damn ther poll is flawed and only half the people can vote? Why even bother start another brainless poll?

Are you for real???
It's just a poll on the internet.
Oh, and since I don't understand your sentence above (the one in bold), I'll have to answer that I don't have a damn that 1/2 the people (or more) can vote.
Working for us
Justin and I were working for the same company, different branches. He got assigned on a one month project to Buenos Aires. We fell in love...and a year and a few trips later...we were married.
Friday is our 6 months anniversary
Saludos,
Caro

it must suck not being able to understand your own language, even when someone doesn't speak it perfectly. I hope your husband speaks perfect english, so you can always understand him, since you can't understand people that speak in a manner that is just not 100% american perfect.
What are you, the poll police? 
Studying/working abroad - he was on vacation. Third country

Relax, it's just a poll. You can make another one if you feel left out. That was not my intention.
I was working abroad and he was studying abroad. We were/are in a third country.
wow im ALWAYS amazed how some people come to VJ just to complain about EVERYTHING! When someone posts in the wrong forum, they complain, if someone asks a question that was asked 2 days prior, they complain...in this case its just a fun poll...now get over it!
But back to the poll....I came to the states as a Student and thats when i met my SO. Ive been here for 5 years on my f-1 visa and in June i will be returning home to start the K-1 Visa.

WTF? What is your problem anyway?
Anyway, I was working at an International School in Italy when I met my husband. But he was Moroccan working in Italy, so there's not really a poll option for us.
Maybe we need to start a poll about polls that exclude the VJ majority.
I suggest we put them in a dedicated polls subforum.

Nessa calm down. It's just a poll and your response is way OTT. Saying the OP is lacking a brain is out of line.
i was studying abroad, he was living/working abroad --- third country

we were exactly like that
Went on "vacation", ended up moving down there for a bit after realizing she was the one for me.
I'm glad to see that people are leaving messages and PMing me about that uncalled for response. Of course I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.
I don't mind that she said I don't have a brain because obviously I DO and she doesn't know me.
It's cool to see people studying/working abroad, then meeting their SOs.

We were both studying in a 3rd country--so I couldn't really answer the poll.--
Edit to say--looks like there are several of us like that!!! Very cool.

If you read my first post you see that I messed up...oops...
Next time
Nessa, why don't you just ignore it if it does not apply to you?
I met my husband when he was working at our headquarters in Germany. In fact, I was supposed to take care of him during his stay.... well, I guess I did...
