Love in SL?

Just read the whole thread and found it extremely interesting (like most of SL stuff) but this remark by FD Spark is something beyond my understanding and needs a reply.

The whole idea of a relationship is offering your parter some part of yourself, including parts of your mind and body (especially the sex related portions). The good news is that in SL we can give less and still have a nice relationship, or believe we have.

I agree with your last comment if you mean just one direction. Let's start living on two way streets and obey each other!

Aaahmmm

It almost embarresing to say that but....

...we are back gain.

Dude you need a blog for this.

Like I said, all advice is useless.

it seems to me like the OP is in need of attention and enjoys the drama

why offer advice? no one listens to you anyway

And now back to the hit soap opera, "As The Second World Turns!"

You definitely need to blog. Or, at least, let one of us take pics and make a SL-reality show from it.

Thank you for a nice evening, really enjoyed it.

Cute Idea

Likewise, Wolf. As you can see, SL is all about having fun. Try to keep it that way.
Until soon!

Love,

Wolf, Wolf, Wolf...when will we ever learn?

Never, I hope. This story is just too good to end! Been stopping in at Breezes to chat but haven't run into you yet. But I have met many interesting and friendly people there, and you'd be surprised (or maybe not) how many of them are living their own interesting stories in SL, and are happy to talk about them.

As far as the poster who said "...the OP is in need of attention and enjoys the drama," that would pretty much sum up all of humanity, eh?

Have fun.

BSL (Before SecondLife) I used to be shy, a little lonely, reclusive, enjoying the quiet life.

SL changed all that ... now I'm out there, living it, wanting it all!

Lindens? .. you've created a monster!!

I should have done a blog for this.


The story is getting a little interesting twist and would make a good start for a second soap.

Here is what happened:

Originally, I came primarily to second live for business reasons. I own the majority fo shares of an online marketing company. One new line of business will be advertising in second life. This just to make the following easier to understand. Here is what we will do: http://www.clevermarketingspain.com/second-life.htm

My wife (as well a shareholder) is not convinced about investing real money in an unreal world. We discussed that on several occasions me with enthusiasm about the opportunities and our projects in second life and she very reluctant if not negative. In the end I told her she can't judge about something she doesn't even know.....

You've guessed it already? Yes she is in-world now to discover this in order to form an educated opinion about second life. And she is not loosing time at all. Firstly she tuned her avatar (she said the standard ones are embarrassing, she can't have that) She ended up being a really beautiful second-woman.

She is making contacts in-world at an astonishing speed. Participates in lots of groups and really gets around. Her starting point was, of course, the Caribbean Breezes on my stupid recommendation.

By accident, Ginny stumbled into her Breezes and she is not very happy about it (Ginny). She doesn't want to share me in SL with nobody and fears I will spend my SL time now with my RL wife.

To be continued

Wolfgang

P.S.: Did you ever dance in SL with your real life partner? That was an interesting experience, especially bearing in mind we have not been dancing in RL for ages.

o.O

So wait, you have an online girlfriend in SL, and a RL wife who suddenly started playing Second Life, and your online girlfriend is jealous over your real wife whom you are married to? >.>

Does your real life wife know about your online girlfriend? And if not, are you aware that your RL wife can check the forums too >.> Just curious.

Hi

That sums it up pretty good. RL wife is not into Forums. However time to tell her the story I think. She won't take that serious anyway and its better she knows from me then from somebody else.

Wolfgang

OMG Wolfgang... I think you better should tell her now... if you want to avoid drama, in RL as well as in SL. And we all know that you've had more than your share of drama in SL already...

Other than that, time to start having some fun in SL!! Enjoy!

Feline

Yep! There will be no drama in RL, don't worry.

Wolfgang

P.S: I enjoyed Bogart's - thanks (again) for another nice dance.

How many times i heard RL Love in Sl? More then i care to remeber. How many wonderful people believing that finding love on sl is possible. Well it is but how long it last is another story. How many friends i lost because their rl love on sl was a nightmare and they left the game. How many land ownerships had fallen because their rl love had problems etc......SL and RL Love is possible but drama ia always too close. I know people that have been partnered over 30 times and they are still crasy enought to partner again and again. I met a few RL people on Sl and they are wonderful people. ENought to have a relationship. But rl pulls me back and says."WHAT IF" hence its stop there........


Usagi

Almost every night I'm not actually with her Wolfie

I wonder how long it will be before an SL relationship is cited in a RL divorce case?

Im possitive its already happened.

And it would be old news anyhow.

People have been having online affairs for over a decade now.

Yes, from time to time. And, btw, she knows my SL partner and her husband and I know my RL wife's partner and we all have fun together from time to time.

Yes, we are THAT weird

I agree with Colette. I think considering the cocktail of emotions that SL can inspire, induce and exploit there are probably already an SL suicide or two.
I think there will be a new generation of people requiring psychiatric or psychological help. Just look in this thread and consider what small percentage of the SL population are in the forum.

Very common for people to poo poo "that won't happen to me!"
Very easy to get sucked right in.

Edit: That is not to say I'm accusing LL of anything here. It's people. If it wasn't SL it would be There .. or WoW .. or anything that is to come.

With pen friends, people had to paint their own pictures. With IM the pace increased somewhat but still relied heavily on the imagination of the recipient. With the virtual world the unprepared can be dropped mercilessly into a stewpot of emotions.
Watch this space!!

Wolfgang

I must be weird too... I have no interest in owning anybody
