What is this I don't even.

TL;DR

You all need to step away from the computer and go like, outside. And do stuff.  Away from the computer.

"You can't sleep with your dysfunctional ex who you're getting back together with."
"But..."
"No! I mean it! I'll even stop sleeping with you! Or with my primary! Anything to convince you it's okay for me to tell you who you get to have sex with!"

I'm not even sure how much this is "having sex with" and how much if this is "having contact with"... If I'm making my way through the alphabet soup properly, this all sounds like it's going on online with occasional real world meetings between 2 of the people... or maybe between 2 pairs of the people (A and the OP and C and N) - but I'm absolutely unclear whether or not the OP has even met this person in real life.

Maybe I just fail at reading... or maybe these people need to lay off the Warcraft.

Pretty sure it's all cyber. Possibly in SL or WoW, and they get off on bumping their toons against each other.

I'm all about exploring the frontiers of human interaction, but this reads as all kinds of sad. Time to get off the computer, go to a bar, get drunk, start a fight, get laid.

I think it's two pairs of people, where each pair is in person but the two pairs are not?

But I don't want to invalidate online sexytimes. If I had a partner five hundred miles away, most of our sexytimes would be online too. It's just as ridiculous to want to control that as to want to control in-person boinkerings.

and if I were the primary, I would be damn pissed off that my partner offered to stop boinkering me in a bid to control their other partner.

Y'know, it's stories like that that make me think off-the-grid celibate hermits are the sanest people imaginable.

That's only because you never actually talk to them.

I kinda didn't see the problem here, If you Joe is my BF and he wants to go back to his sketchy ex Cathy who cheated on him, I'm buying them a new blender and waving "Bye!" as they go off to live in their own space.

And what is it with people feeling the need to merge households ASAP? This problem wouldn't be nearly as thorny if the shared GF was living on her own.

[teal_cuttlefish]

They are in different countries. The poster and her spouse are in Australia. The girl they thought was exclusive to them is in Canada or the US, and the former and now current sweetie to that girl is in the other North American country. They aren't merging households; other than the initial couple they haven't met in meatspace, unless the other couple had done so in the past.

And that's clear as mud anyway.

Short version: four people, three countries, mostly online except for the couple living together in Australia.

I'm slow and finally figured that out. This makes this whole thing so much more redonkulous to me.

[teal_cuttlefish]

Yeah, I gather the sex she wants to restrict is cyber except between her and her partner. Seems a bit compulsive to me.

[canis_ridens]

The first thing that popped to mind was, "Oh no! If they have sex, your computer could get a virus!"

I am curious as to whether they'd made plans to be together in meatspace, or or whether the poster and her partner are expecting this other girl to forsake physical contact in favor of their online relationship for an indefinite period of time. Leaving aside the issue of whether or not a particular potential partner is a wise choice, if she's normal, in a "Her or me!" situation, she's probably going to pick the person she can physically touch.
