I've only ever had relationships in FFXI through my character Niami:
Niami & Lurdiel: An innocent shy-glances-across-the-room relationship for a few months until they both expressed their feelings after a harrowing journey to Jeuno (level 20 walk haha). Lurdiel quit a month or so later leaving a note: "Gone to live in a cabin in the Ronfaure! Bye!"
Niami & Glavan: Started fantastically & very naturally. The characters fit together very well and the two of us behind them didn't plan it out or anything, it just happened after a while. Then he quit a few times or would disappear for months at a time. After the first couple of times Niami retaliated by having a steamy affair with a paladin. A year later Glavan finally went MIA for the last time, Niami went a bit crazy not knowing what happened to her husband after he left on that last mission. Cue funky dream sequences.
I've stated that I'm a little leery of having my character get in to a romantic relationship in 14 because I have a RL relationship with someone who will be playing the game right next to me, but I think I'm also hesitant because I really don't want to have to deal with playing the opposite role to someone who's going to leave me hanging mid-plotpoint with no solid reason. >_>
