I was with my gf for 7 years and knew her for about 12 in total, wouldn't even have dreamt of marrying her for atleast another 5 years together after that.

To be honest if you don't know whether you want to marry someone after dating for 7 years you were right to finish it anyway (sorry if that sounds harsh).
 
holidays and breaks are not routine life together under the same roof, different attitudes to things that you do normally, like even so much as going out of the house without her, can cause a problem, one of the biggest problems we had was getting her into a job that she enjoyed doing, its so hard to find a job here as an immigrant unless you join an agency and want to work in a warehouse, this caused a lot of depression to my wife, plus you can only have so many holidays a year also, i wouldnt call it anywhere near enough time to truly know this woman, she may not even like to live here, are you prepared to move to russia for the rest of your life?

TBH, we dont have much choice. This is the only way we can live together. If there was another way, i would do it, but we are both happy to make this big step in relations.

If it all fails, then thats that, but if it doesnt, we are happy living together.

Serious question, did you meet her through an agency of some kind? If so, what made you go through the 'Russian Route' as opposed to the 'English online .com etc'. :)

The start of that 7 years was when we were 17 though, knew eachother since the start of secondary school, so being so young prob was a set up for disaster (which is pretty much how it went in the end, and still is)

this is not the attitude to be going into marriage with, you are treating it very lightly, a very foolish thing to do
 
I take it that if you do go down this road you're going to get a pre-nup set up. Just so you don't suddenly wake up one day to find out applied for a divorce and invested all your cash into some dodgy Russian gas company.

I wish you the best of luck, but after reading the whole thread I have to agree with some of the others. A year does seem a bit short. But, t'is your descision to make and I don't think strangers posting on an internet forum is going to change your mind.

Hope it goes well.

Mount picchu or that restaurant in new york with the 360 degree glass ontop of the tower thingy. Can't remember what it's called.

LOL NO! :)

We met in a bar/club in St Petersburg playing funk music, i managed to get the courage to say Hi how are you in Russian, and thats that really.

Mm, reason i ask is that i watched a documentary on TV about guys who 'search for love' in Russia and all the girls explain why they like English girls and 9/10 it is simply access into the UK and nothing more. They just couldn't explain why/if they loved the guys and to be blunt, they weren't the most attractive guys in the world.

In other words, be careful and i think you're diving in too soon but let us know how things go and prove us all wrong. :)
