Would You Leave SL If Your Partner Did?

i don't have a partner, and for me, there's so much more to SL than 'partners'. having said that... (insert evil grin here)... that is all i have to say about that.

Oh here's Pep! If you havent met him before, let me introduce you to Pep. He is so over-awed by women he has a hard time conveying his deep respect for them. He is so calm he make Perry Como look neurotic. He is tactful and defines that certain "something" we all look for in a man ...
Lol, I must go ... but I leave "my" thread in the hand of a man whose dulcit tones ring true in sl forums for all to hear ...

Not quite universal. I don't build. I shop in solitude.

SLurl for Solitude please?

It's only happened to me once, but I think knowing he wasn't going to be here made it easier to come back in.

The odd thing here is that I kept meaning to rebuild my house, but did not do so until I started spending more time with a certain someone. We cuddle together while I build and he does inventory or photoshop stuff and he helps me learn the building stuff as I go. And we have gotten much closer during that building time even though we only talk off and on while I am building - lots of silent time.

That's great. I don't hear of that happening often, though. (Of course that doesn't mean it doesn't.) I do hear often of people choosing or advising others to "build" after a breakup.

My alt, who has become my main, is partnered and blissfully happy...BUT...if anything were ever to happen, no matter how sad, I could not leave SL. I may mope around for a couple of months and use a lot of crying animations.

I'm not naming any names, but some people will leave SL if their partner does because they ARE their partner.

Wow, tough question...No, I would not leave, but I seriously did consider it for a long time. Fortunately, someone came along at just the right time so I was motivated to stay and give her my support and that has become friendship. You'd get over the loss and stay, or you wouldn't and would probably leave. I can't offer a value judgement, though. I haven't read the rest of the thread but to anyone who would say, "this is just a game" I'd say, no, it's more.

Yeah that.

No, after the burn, I'm still here.

i came into this world with nothing and i will leave this world the same way on my own terms or if LL decides it's time lol

I almost left, but I didn't come to SL for him so why should I leave because of him? Our relationship had grown away from SL anyway, so the heartbreak was dealt with in my 1st life more than it was in-world.

I cut back on SL, but my friends here rallied and I'm involved in good projects in both lives.

It's hard to believe, but there IS life after the end of the relationship.

You may say your not looking for a partner, but I always catch you leaning back and watching my ass. You keep me reading this every day just to hear the sound of your typing every day,

Well, there are certain offers even I couldn't refuse.

Nope, mainly because partnering is not going to be on my SL todo list.

I did have a partner though, when we split, he left, then he came back, left again, came back on an alt, introduced himself, got partnered again with another. Now I have no idea if he is in or out of SL

LOL


I bet there must be something wrong.. not that I care

Excuse me? Could you explain that perhaps?

EDIT: Going to assume you only had good intentions in posting that rather unspecific phrase that could be interpreted a few different ways, and that you meant there must have been something wrong with my ex-partner. I agree, if not I would probably not have ended it like I did.

"Would You Leave SL If Your Partner Did?"

No partner, so no.. not leaving.
However, if all the potential "part-time" partners left... probably

Well, I never had an actual partner before until now.. But my enjoyment of SL is not specific and or dependant to my partner, which I have learned since he has been away.. I would certainly say my time on SL would be less (and has been) I do not see any reason I would leave if he did... If we broke apart, I might leave for a while.. lick my wounds then come back.. but I would doubtthat I would partner with anyone else when I returned.

My partner is my RL husband. We started out using SL to stay close when he was working 4 hours away and home only on certain weekends. Now he is living and working locally again and he is not in SL very much at all - hasn't quite left altogether, but we spend time together in RL and not so much online. I don't think his interest in SL was ever as strong as mine, and when he has computer time he has other fish to fry, mostly.

So, he's mostly left SL and I'm still here.

Now, if we ever split in RL, I don't know... on the one hand, I'd have a lot more on my mind and a lot more to do than SL. On the other hand, this is where I have a lot of my friends and social support. I might spend less time in SL as my time needed to be managed differently, but I can't imagine leaving altogether.
