Lovequest Misc Open Relationship Emails -

[Thetan]

My apologies for the email titles not quite matching the order they appear in. I've got quite a few of them and I'm trying to get them in chronological order for the sake of clarity.

These emails are from about 1 month into the "relationship". Once again, it's important to note that Catie never referred to Chris as her boyfriend, nor did she ever say she loved him or saw him as anything more than a friend.

The blank spaces at the top of some of the emails are there because the emails were forwarded to Catherine, (I wanted to keep her in the loop with respect to my interactions with Chris).

The "fight" Chris had with Catherine was over finances. She was trying to point out that he needed to learn how to manage his money, live within a reasonable budget, etc. and Chris reacted exactly how you'd expect him to react.

The purpose behind these emails was to test Chris's understanding of an open relationship (which, remember, HE insisted on). I tried to come up with a realistic scenario to see how Chris would react.

Colin was only active for the purpose of this particular experiment and is no longer active. Shaina hasn't been active in months either. Both accounts have been deleted.

I'll post more material on this thread as I find it.

Fascinating. So Chris has no clue what an "open relationship" is (does he think it means "emotionally open?") and his response to the possibility of a rival winning the fair lady is "Please be less attractive." I mean, I know he expects everyone to do everything for him, but really this is a whole new level. Next he'll be demanding that all men make themselves unattractive because it's Highly Unfair that Ugly, Fat, Serial-Killer-Looking Lesbians can Not find TRUE LOVE when there are sooooooooooooo many attractive JERKS out there.

Desperation at work. Gotta get that china right?

So many threads with so much content... I'm already starting to feel like in CWCmas.

Wow, Chris is self-conscious about being poor. This automatic hatred for Colin the Blue Blood reminds me of his Future Message:

"Also, girls and ladies, don't just go over gaga, over the handsome rich boys... and men... because they may turn out to be disrespectful and distasteful in their personality. You should take into consideration all the other gentlemen that you may have considered, that may be less attractive, or equally—less or moderately. Because those will—because they will likely have a better personality that you will—that you will generally enjoy and like, and they may end up having a brighter future for themselves."

I hadn't really picked up on pushy Chris was being about the sailing incident. It makes his backpedaling all the more telling. I legit laughed at Chris spelling "Colin" and "Colon" at one point . . . I have to wonder if it wasn't intentional.

Also, UGH!!!!

"Better personality." "Brighter future."

too much responsibility here

Playing with Legos is such an admirable career.

I also love that he's never met, nor spoken to Colin, knows nothing about him and has only heard about what a great guy he is, but is sure he's a bad match for Catie and some kind of villain. Typical Chris.

So Chris has no clue what an "open relationship" is

I'd treat this as confirmation Chris had just assumed the relationship would be open on his end while Catie was fanatically loyal to him

 

[Kosher Dill]

Don't worry, Chris. Colin is a good guy. He's handsome and rich and has a huge, unbent duck.

That part about his cold, money-filled blood has me rollin' XD

 

[jemas42]

That was a wild ride. I'm glad Colin/Colon was a persona, because I can't imagine how a person who has no knowledge of the Chris-Chan...thing would react upon getting that e-mail.

Yeah, holy shit, it's Wes Iseli all over again. Chris has said that he wishes he could press a button and make all men disappear, to eliminate the competition, and here we see that irrational fear manifesting itself. His noviophobia is as strong as ever.

I thought Colin played it pretty realistically. A lot of people would laugh, or think that one of their friends was fucking with them.

If all men disappeared the world would be doomed because I don't believe there is a woman in the world who would want to repopulate with a 32 year old autistic old lady.

Oh Chris and those wacky men who like boats stealing his sweethearts!

 

[warongiygas]

"I feel certain he would not honor and respect her for the person and bisexual she is." He says, barely knowing Catherine and not knowing Colin at all.

Also, open relationships are about trusting one's partner and giving them space. It's funny that Chris suggested an open relationship because he's super clingy and possessive, the worst qualities you can possibly have in such a relationship. Chris literally says: "Catherine is MY girlfriend, heartsweet, hearthrob..." that's exactly the sort of bullshit people in open relationships are trying to avoid.

If Chris thought Lars was bad with his toy boats...

Real question: would women prefer Chris or Holden?

 

[Silver]

I don't think people would mind Holden, considering he isn't a 32 year old tranny lesbian soul who lives off welfare and still lives with mommy.

Not... not Judge Holden

 

[Gazelle_Bro]

Not... not Judge Holden

Are we talking Holden from Catcher in the Rye?
