Difficult dating

Postby AlexisLexi » Wed Jun 13, 2012 6:46 am

I have a boyfriend and he has been fantastically supportive of my problems and alters. The only problem being that recently a promiscuous alter has reappeared. My boyfriend is very concerned about this, as am I, Or if an alter were to fall in love with someone else,We have talked a lot about what we would do if she were to sleep with or do other things with another person. The best he has been able to do is say he would absolutely try his hardest to move past it and stay with me for as long as he can. Any Advice for him or me??

I had a few promiscuous alters when I got together with my boyfriend and we laid down rules for them. One of them broke the rules and we built a cell for her and locked her away as punichment. Problem solved. As far as you boyfriend is concerned, he should understand that it's not you who's cheated on him but alters will be held accountable for misbehaviour.

At one point I actually had 2 slutty alters locked up because they couldn't be trusted. But they're not animals, most alters are rational human beings and will be reasonable. Just talk to the alter and your boyfriend and see how things go. BTW locking them up is, last ditch drastic action that should be only used as a last resort.
Friends: a good friend will lend you a shovel, a great friend will help you burry the body and your best friend will have a drink with you when it's done.

It is good that you are thinking about these things now, asking questions, and exploring your personal boundaries and the boundaries of your relationship.

What are your boyfriend's dealbreakers now? And what does "fall in love" mean to you? If you fall in love with another man (or a woman!), does that mean you should leave your BF, that you made a mistake getting being with him in the first place, or that the relationship has "run its course"? It is very common to fall in love with someone other than your SO, and probably can't be helped except by distancing from anyone who is even slightly attractive (which isn't much of a life). This happens to multiples and singletons alike.
