HEY HEARTUN ~ I met this woman in Second life and we were 100 percent compatible. I honestly love her. One night I decided to spice things up by getting naughty and picking a fight with her. It backfired big time! She got really upset. I tried to explain, but she didn’t believe me. When I told her that I love her she really flipped out! (We are both married in real life, to others).

So now she’s muted me and I have no other way of communicating with her. If I can’t get her back I am going to publicly commit Second Life suicide by deleting this account. ~BOBBYBROWN ROMEO

DEAR BOBYBROWN ROMEO ~ Let me get this straight… you intentionally picked a fight with your baby so you could get your rocks off better, didn’t tell her that this was a role play scenario for you, and are surprised that she got hurt and left you?

I don’t know if anything I tell you could possibly make sense to you because in a world that is enmeshed in role play (Second Life) you violated the cardinal rule of role play. You must, and I can’t stress this enough, have an informed and consenting partner.

Everything about your question just feels like a manipulative lie. I feel like you asked it because you thought I was going to somehow normalize or justify your behavior, and you would use my answer to exonerate yourself in her eyes (or some other crazy fantasy). At the very least, your attempt to manipulate her by dropping a love-bomb instead of making amends reveals a lot about your lack of character. Regardless, she is absolutely within her rights to do whatever she wants to protect herself from you.

As to your flippant, and dramatic, threat to delete your account I could not care less. I’m here to help people who don’t intentionally bring shit down on themselves. Clean up your own messes, asshole. ~ HEARTUN BREAKER
