Six short years ago I took up playing an online game. While playing that game I made some friends and joined a group of people to play with. We used a voice chat system while we played so we could all get to know each other and make it easier to do group questing. One day there was a new guy in the voice chat. He had joined our group and was getting acquainted with everyone. That is when I heard his voice for the first time. He was explaining something to someone in great detail and with so much patience. I sat there and just listened to his voice. When he wasn't handing out knowledge he was a funny but shy man who seemed a bit awkward. I sent a message in the game to our group leader and asked who he was. "Just some guy I saw in town who was alone." I knew from that first day that I had to know him. I had to be his friend. And soon we were inseparable in that game. I got to know him and the more time I spent with him the more my friendly feelings turned into love. It didn't take long. That was August 2007. We married on April 12th, 2010. We are still inseparable in that game and in life. You see, I am autistic and agoraphobic and my husband has Asperger's Syndrome. We are a match made in heaven. We are both content to stay home and not be around a lot of people. I love him for all that he is. To me, he is perfect. Not because he does everything perfectly but because he tries his best to be the best he can be. And for that I try my best too.
