I've been meaning to tell you this, you are such a W***E. Oh? Wife Of Henry The Eighth? I thought not. Completely uncalled for personal attack. Shame on you. ![]() |

I think that if she would have told me what she wanted to do, we could have made an agreement. I would never stop her from having the best SL experience that she could possibly have. Everyone has alts for one reason or another and I would never ask her to give up her alt. Hmmm...not everyone. I don't have an alt...nor do I want or need one for any reason. You're saying one thing.....but your emotions are clearly being very affected by her behavior with this 'alt'. So, while you may WANT her to have the best SL experience......apparently that is taking away from YOUR best SL experience. You have a dilemma....you need to talk to HER and tell her what you know, and how you feel about it. Personally I stay away from any kind of relationship in SL....but in the 3 years I've been a resident I've witnessed a lot of folks going through similar stuff because they're not communicating honestly with each other from the beginning. You really have to decide for yourself whether this constitutes cheating. If it does, then you've got to be true to yourself and honest with her. It may mean the end of an SL marriage....but it could very well save a more valuable friendship. If it doesn't.....then you've got to accept that she has other priorities in RL and in SL......certainly you should still talk to her, and hopefully with a bit more honesty, you two can work thru this. But, they key here is be honest with yourself first......what do you really feel> Once you know, then you will know how to appraoch it with her. Confrontation can be scary and uncomfortable...but the alternative can be far worse in the long run. _____________________

Wow, this became a really great thread for a while, with some really worthwhile discussion about an important theme, vis-a-vis. the individual vs. the commons. And then it suddenly stopped being a discussion of that theme, and became an exemplification of it.
I think. That professor went in there with an assumption that the place was a challenge game with no social community - and that the people with a sense of community were in the wrong for having it. People in communities do try to enforce norms. I think the professor is the one who has an outdated mode of thinking in not seeing that. He's not seeing that online communities are in fact communities. I think Puss is dead on here. Except that the community DID respond by becoming a mob. The prof in question may or may not be an asshat, but he was certainly deliberately destructive. But, in the end, both sides became that. Communities need better mechanisms for handling apparent "threats" than pitchforks, torches, and rope. There are some interesting analogues with SL here, although, not being a "game," SL is much more open to differing approaches and perspectives. As someone . . . Argent? . . . noted earlier, however, there are bound to be problems when "gamers" come up against "immersives," or those who blur SL/RL lines. Do you think that these breakdown along gender lines? My own VERY tentative and unscientific sense is that males are more likely to be "gamers" than females . . . _____________________

Joe....Billy Bob....Lester....is that YOU? But I explained all that to you on Day One. You agreed it was OK. Do you want to change the "Agreement?" Why the sudden change after 10 months of it being "Great?" Why must you call this "deceit?" Is that Fair? And why are you asking strangers in a forum.....instead of asking ME? ![]() we have a winnar! _____________________
There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

I must be the only one here vindictive enough that if I were in the OP's position and was sure about it all, would instead go talk to this alt's spouse about it. I'd bring beer and a clue to that poor fool.
I'm just evil that way I guess ![]() _____________________

I love you both. And all you my wonderful friends so gallant in my defence, thank you. _____________________

Can we make both Pip and Pep go poof? Amaranthim knows I am not Pip. Pep (Because she knows what I think of her, and it is anything but what that scumbucket Pip erroneously does.) PS Ray, I told you once that you're wasting your breath; my opinion regarding the OP's situation may be less long-winded and less "caring" than some here, but it is a lot closer to the mark. _____________________

Thank you Pep- As always, it is my pleasure to defend those for whom criticism is completely unwarranted . . . Pep ( . . . and now I'll get back to criticising those who deserve it - but *never* in such terms! )_____________________

SO the OP's question is?
Should he dump his two timing Online Girl Friend? Or put up with something that bothers him? My opinion is that once the telephone thing started happening it ceased being "just a game" Good luck OP ... No one can answer this one for you, its your call what to do about your girlfriend. |
