Hey, make that three of us. 
My SO and I both play XIV (and have been RPing together in MMOs for a long time) and our characters are friends IC, but have no romantic connection. The last time we played characters in a relationship was in CoH, and it was... a complex, multifaceted, and basically open relationship. The two characters in question were quite broken people and ended up gravitating towards each other through the actions of a third party.
I have to third the opinion that our characters are not us. My SO and I have a relationship that's sufficiently secure that we can joke about the things our characters do and chat about their proclivities with their paramours. Personally, I also don't like creating "pair characters" who are destined to end up together; I really want that sort of RP to grow organically, or it doesn't ring true to me.
