Has anyone fallen in love with their Tulpa?

[WondrousFairy]

I've  been in a friendship-lover-fuckbuddy kind of relationship with my tulpa Circe ever since 1998 ish. (Records are sketchy back then) 

She's always adamantly insisted that I have "somebody physical" to have a relationship with, but she's always been there for me.

 

Now, almost 30 years after she walked into my life, I can safely say that she's my soul mate. My SO IRL is a tulpamancer, so she has her own counter-part as well. 

It's all good, and the sex is just .. amazing. That being said, our collective has been joined by a lot of other tulpas since then, but Circe remains quite special.

Yes, definitely, absolutely. I love Shaula so much. I know she is someone I will always want in my life because she really cares about me and wants the the best for me. I feel the same about her, I just want her to be happy. She wants me to find someone physical too be with as well but we are very happy where we are right now. 

 

Shaula: He's making a post about me like this! 😊 😍 💙 💜 I love him soooooo much! 💜 He's so kind and thoughtful, I just want to spend all day snuggling with him. (I just like expressing my love for him and maybe embarrassing him a little bit. 😁)

I'm in a QPR with Timekeeper! We tried a romantic relationship early on when it joined the system, but it didn't feel right and TK hadn't quite figured out who it was yet (it later discovered it was aroace, which absolutely played a role). A few months later we talked abt it again and now we're very happy together being the literal incarnation of the "historians will call them close friends" meme. 

 

Stanley and The Narrator (aka my dads) are married, and while they're both (probably?) tulpas it makes little to no difference. They are co-dependent to an arguably concerning degree, but it's fine since they share a brain and can be with each other all the time. As TK once said: "their love is so strong its sickening. I am ashamed to share a brain with these two."

It is bound to happen eventually in some shape or form, as usually the host makes a Tulpa using traits and a personality he is fond of.

I always saw Cheryl as more of a "daughter" so I never really had a romantic interest in her, she's the most special and precious thing I have so obviously our "relationship" goes beyond just romantic love.

As desperate as my love life is I don't think I would ever fall back to that - one of our mentors and closest friends Nobillis has a system of inter-personal relationships with the host's wife and her tulpas, that is something I deeply admire on a fundamental level (and secretly envy)

Wow, weird that we haven't commented in this thread yet! I'm in sort of a love triangle with Luna and Naomi, and Elise is sort of like our shared-custody daughter. My girls are probably the best thing I have in life, though Luna has still been pushing me to go on dates and try to find a girlfriend in meatspace. Luna and I have been together for about 14 years now and I'm mostly content with that dynamic (other than people both inside and outside the system pushing me towards real-world relationships).

i have not known ayano very long, but i can say with confidence i’ve been falling in love with them. i don’t know what we’ll do, since ayano is not very sentient yet. once they are able to communicate confidently, we can explore.

 

if i’m being honest, i have so much religious guilt over this LOL. i’m a raised-christian-converted-buddhist-waisan, so my relationship with queerness is complicated. add that it’s with a tulpa on top of that? and oh god it’s such an obscure and complicated mess.
