To catch those up on what "second life" is... It is a virtual 3D avatar game where you interact however you please with others... You build your character however you wish.
Now, my bf played it.. Hasn't recently due to being busy. But he reassured me though in the "second life" game he may have met some people "the feelings are not the same as in person". These people he met, are married and live across borders and seas.
Maybe it's just me... But would anyone feel... Upset? Hurt? Jealous? If their loved one played such a game? Does online RP just cover "the lack of feelings" they have in person? Throw them into a delusional reality to avoid "facing the music" so to speak? Or is it really as "innocently played" as some suggest?
Personally I won't do such things when in a relationship. But... That's just me. And I will say I don't like the idea of it... But being messed over too many times, it would be hard not to feel that way... I believe I did tell him (when he even offered to let me read anything between him and another SL), that I did not want to see, hear, or know about it. It would not satisfy me to know... It would destroy me internally and in turn destroy what I have because of my incompetence to just "speak about it".
(almost like a convo on reading steamy romantic novels and their effect on relationships....)
So, how would you feel? What would you do? What wouldn't you do?
This is just curiosity at my end
