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.

too crazy - didn't read, tl;dr, alphabet soup

I can't believe I read the whole thing.

My head hurts.

Same. I'm washing this down with some rum and going to bed.

nonmonogamous April 15 2011, 01:18:02 UTC

This.

Whiskey for me, but I'm giving up on it, too.

The mysterious year-long disappearance with no ability to contact each other is the weirdest part of the story. Rampant speculation abounds. Did N fail to pay her internet bill? Get committed to a mental institution? Get her WoW account hacked? Lose all of her typing fingers in a combine accident?

What kind of person would agree to wait for someone (monogamously at that) indefinitely?

I was thinking N's mom cut off the bliz account or internet access.

Your subject line says it all

Wow, OP was asked about the nature of N's disappearance and responded,

I don't really feel comfortable detailing the reasons why N vanished. Suffice it to say that she was unable to contact C - for reasons outside her control. And C was unable to contact her.

Jail? Alien abduction? Mommy too away someone's computer?

If this really wasn't Ns fault then why assume the relationship was over? That's what I don't get.

Realm transfer, faction change...

siriel April 15 2011, 12:02:40 UTC

Now A has stepped in and "clarified" the situation.

canis_ridens April 15 2011, 14:41:29 UTC

Oh, my!

My theory is that the OP is trolling and making this entire business up. Monogamous e-relationships? Someone goes into something "like prison," but with less outside contact (except for letters; I guess physical letters aren't real and magical in the way that email is)? The online partner agrees to leave the somewhat real-life partner (and the poly community is updated about it so quickly)? This sounds like romantic fiction written by a thirteen-year-old.

I have a tingly feeling that "C" is not telling the whole story. The 2nd poster said that she was reluctant to visit them and all of a sudden the old GF pops up and trouble ensues. I think that C didn't want to meet them and made the whole thing up so she'd have an excuse.

The whole lot of them are a bunch of braying jackasses.
