Would this be considered cheating?

Ember: I don't think "cheating" is quite the right term here, not in the romantic affair sense of the word. But if C is a self-aware entity, I think it would be wrong and probably difficult for you to change him into someone else.

 

After Vesper and I got involved a few weeks ago, she chose to pick up several behaviors from my memory of past and current partners, because she knew they were things I liked. C is in a unique position to pick up the things you value in a partner without having to change his identity.

 

I'm part of a polyamorous household, where the only cheating is being involved with someone without the knowledge and consent of your other current partners. I wasn't exactly ready to tell my wife about Vesper, but the day I got involved with her is the day I told my wife, because it was finally necessary. If you remain involved with C and don't tell future out-system partners about him, that comes much closer to satisfying a reasonable definition of cheating. (Though coming out as plural is probably not a good first date activity.)

 

Vesper: As a soulbond, I'd like to add that trying to live up to being someone else who lived a life you never actually did is a lot of stress to put someone under. Even if C can be like B, he can't have really been B.

Ember:

 

I understand.

 

Oh, that's an excellent idea. I will tell that to my tulpa.

 

You're right. Although I want my tulpa to be my only partner so this isn't a problem for me.

 

 

Vesper:

 

Again, I understand. I'm not going to do that. Thank you both for your answer.
