From my understanding of that form, she would put you in Section A if you were her spouse or common-law partner. From the sounds of it, you are neither.

I met my wife on May 11th, 2008. We chatted every day through audio/video chat and during this time we fell in love. I understand that this is sometimes viewed as suspect, and this is really unfortunate because I'm sure it's happened to others and I don't see anything wrong with it in this day...
