Me and my Fiance roleplay and met Roleplaying in FFXI - but have never, EVER been in an RP relationship together, not even when we met! We believe, very firmly, that our characters are our characters and are NOT us. His character, Ellion Goto, is in a long term relationship with another character.
A lot of people think this means we have to be jealous or they think it's weird, but our characters are not us. Though me and Ellion click IRL - Armi and Ellion would most definitely not click and trying to force it would be a fool's errand.
I absolutely -hate- characters who are specifically rolled to be someone elses love interest simply because they are married or whatever IRL (Baring some exceptions, I've actually seen it very well done recently in my FC), but that's another conversation.
I don't know, me and Ellion are pretty secure in our relationship that it doesn't NEED to bleed into roleplay.

My boyfriend and I met in real life and eventually found out we're both into role-playing and he talked me into playing MMO's with him. But our characters generally don't click like we do IRL, not in a romantic way, at least. Instead, we tend to make characters who are family or otherwise have some sort of platonic bond. I think that if your relationship is stable and healthy, and if you both understand the line between OOC and IC, there's really no need to shove all your characters together into IC relationships.
Once more, I don't mind people who do that, it's cutesy. I just hate people acting like we're weird for not doing it. ;_;
