Gotta post this for the hustlas, yo. RIP Ryan Davis.
#1 there is one or two that she does wish would just go away. these are the "primal" alters, one is just made of pure hate for the world because of what happened in her childhood, and the other is one that hates herself, all this particular alter wants is to commit suicide. thankfully, they NEVER come out, she has…
there are rarely any personalities that are inherently angry, with my girlfriend at least
sometimes they just come out randomly, but that happens rarely. it usually takes a "trigger", something that she sees or experiences that causes one of the other alters to "take over". the easiest example is one that I mentioned before. say were in the mall and we walk by a build-a-bear workshop or a toy store, if she…
no actually, trying to "make" one of the alters come out is incredibly rude and slightly cruel, it's like saying "oh I don't want you right now, I'd rather talk to [another alter]"
I wish I could reccomend this more. that's the worst part of our relationship, my mom. she doesn't understand it. each of the alters have different names and she thinks it's very "inconvenient" that she just can't call her by one name.
there are none I like more than the main, in a romantic way (she IS the one I originally fell in love with) but I do love them all in their own way. One of them is a housewife from the '50s (I shit you not) who loves to cook and clean. but no, I love the main host more than anything.
yes they are all aware of eachother. in her mind there is a "house" where all of the alters live. they all look different on the inside, different ages, different ethnicities...
Oh yes. she's seeing a therapist and psychiatrist at Stanford weekly.
to answer your question better, she (the main alter, and one i'm proposing to) doesn't mind it actually.
this is the question I get the most. No it's not, I've only had sex with a different alter once (the aforementioned alter who uses me like an object) and she.... fucked me so hard that a vein in my wing-dang-doodle ruptured and got horribly bruised. thankfully it healed in a couple weeks.
while there is a way to "integrate" the alters together, it takes a lot of therapy, and also, she doesn't want to do that. each personality is their own person, their own goals, hopes, dreams. to collapse that is like telling the alters "you're not allowed to exist on your own because it inconveniences me".
I'm not sure she'd be up for that. while she accepts that she has the disorder, I don't think she wants to be treated like she's an anomaly. we just want to live a (relatively) normal life together.
I'm proposing to the "host", the main alter. she's the one who is in control of the body the majority of the time, and the one I fell in love with. some of the other alters "entered" the relationship later on. but no, no other alter is allowed to interefere in mine and the host's relationship. they made a contract…
yes, not all of them are "into" me.
Oh, like I said, it's ok, I get questions about it all the time. This is why I want to get into psychology and help people with it, and their partners.
Oh don't worry about it. despite what you might think, it's not very difficult at all, there are time where I feel like I'm living in a sticom though :P
It makes life interesting, also, if you wanna get technical, I have over 10 girlfriends :D
Thank you for this...
