Especially as with the marriage, chances are high you’ll have to hold down on the exploring? (Although that may depend whom you marry.)

This might sound strange, but as there is no RL sex involved, and most people don’t care much about SLex monogamy – not even when married – why SL-marry at all?

At a minimum it makes relationships harder to maintain and keep healthy.

I’m coming up on a year, too. And, I don’t want to jinx myself, but within a few days it will also be the 5th month of Chloe and I being together.

Unfortunately, I don’t really have any advice or comment to give you other than “Oh yes, I understand. Hmmm.”, which isn’t very helpful, I know =/

I was thinking I had catch some disease, like fungus or something similar hehehe… your post really helped put things a bit on perspective. It’s all about us being close to one year I guess. We’ve done all that, huh ? We’ve wandered, had fun, engaged into relationships, we’ve built empires and communities… we laughed, and cried… and NOW what ???

Within a few weeks of going in-world, I surprised myself by falling into a rather hot and heavy SL relationship. I spent the next week sneaking off to the computer when my wife wasn’t around to IM my “buddy”. When my wife opened an account last week I of course had to change my approach towards SL females; after all, not only was she in the same SL room she was sitting next to me on the RL sofa. I never told her what I did, as she’s too precious to me in RL to hurt her — I just had to try that stuff.

As it turns out I am now having the most fun ever in SL and we have an agreement: no buying and no slex..with other av’s. All this to say that a light approach makes the SL experience so much better.

PS: I am allowed to dance and flirt at least and I’m getting good at those . Thanks for your blog, Veyron.
