We actually like each other, thank god. This isn't to say we're free of conflict or disagreement or grudges, but we've generally worked through them.

That said, knowing that we can't escape each other is a strong motivation to KEEP liking each other. It's not like we can just kick someone out if we don't like them; we're pretty much stuck with each other for life.

Okay, I'm going to ask two more - but feel free not to answer them, because I realize they might be personal or unpleasant, but I'm just curious (and well you made the thread)

First, you said you're married (and I swear, no it's not a sex question, it's really more like a logistics question). If you say you're married, then, who exactly is married? One of you, several of you? Did you all agree on it? Is your husband aware of who he's interacting with?

Second, I read on your info page that one of you died - which sounds awful (I'm sorry!). But, how does one of a multiple "die" exactly - I mean, obviously the body doesn't die, so how does that work? Is it through an event or do they just stop showing up?

My husband is another system member. So yes, he is fully aware of what's going on. *snrk* And we're monogamous, so it's just me and him. The system has avoided other relationships because of the remaining five of us, three are asexual, and two have polar opposite sexualities. (A straight guy and a straight girl.) There's just no way we could manage the logistics.

The general rule in our system (note that this is just ours, can't speak for others) is that a system member will continue to exist until we become so overburdened with trauma that we break apart, or if we are no longer 'needed' and integrate with someone else.

If it's a split, it's an unspeakably painful process of having your soul hacked apart and then having the parts rezed because the system still needs foot soldiers. If it's an integration, it can be peaceful and gentle or sad and rough, depending on what trauma caused your existence in the first place. Either way, it's a little more complex than someone 'just not showing up.' It's their essence being obliterated from the headspace, never to return. (Well, except for one. But she was a very special case.)

Oh, I had no idea your husband was another system member! That sort of does clarify things, yes!

No problem! I didn't say so outright, just because again, didn't want to hog threadspace, and some folks have trouble with it. But yup, married five years!
