THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PARTNER STEALING

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PARTNER STEALING

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PARTNER STEALING

It does not exist. And I am tired of seeing people complain about others trying to steal partners from them or hearing friends accused of this ‘theft’.

How?

How do you steal a partner? Do you cross a great deal of distance, kidnap them and lock them in a basement, feeding them when they reply to your posts? Do you threaten them? Do you bribe them with castles and lavish gifts?

RP is for fun, we do this for fun, not pay. We have no obligations to play or not play with anyone. The same thing we say with replies counts for partners.

The idea of saying Bob stole your partner is as ridiculous as Lucy saying Cassie stole her boyfriend and so she dumps Cassie’s lunch tray all over her new blouse in the cafeteria. Instead of going to her boyfriend to ask if they’re over, if he’s cheating, call him out, she goes after Cassie, treating her boyfriend as some sort of prize to be won.

People are not objects. Your partner is not an object, they are free to play with whomever they wish, they cannot be “stolen”. Maybe they played with multiple of the same muse, maybe they’re drifting to one and it isn’t you. That sucks, maybe they don’t realize it, maybe they have the muse for that one thread they have with that other person. Maybe they are starting to prefer that version of your muse.

Talk to your partner, clear things up, get some answers. BE MATURE AND CIVIL. Don’t trash anyone and accuse them of “stealing” people.

What are we, twelve?

Can we spread this shit like wildfire?
