My GF is a vampire what do I do???

[Umbran]

Heh, mom asked bout the razor blade cut today, and I told her I just scratched myself, if she only knew.

Now, much of the stuff I let slide. Very much a "use your own best judgement and tolerance of risk" kind of thing. But this is an issue you ought to think about -

It has you starting to lie to your family.

Sure, you probably think one lie is no big deal. But do you really expect to ever stop lying about it? Imagine a year or two from now, after you've built up a whole stack of lies. And then something goes horribly wrong. Maybe someone winds up in a hospital or the like. And you have to explain. And your family finds out you've been lying for a long time...

Lies between loved ones are bad.

I concur wholeheartedly.

Umbran, it is rare to read sensible advice on an internet forum. You've done an admirable job with that last post.

Okay, if she's been a 'leader' of this stuff before, than that's a good and a bad thing. Good in that she knows what she's getting into.

dema, is she into the whole mythological aspect, or does she simply have a blood fetish?

'Cause it's one thing to have a fascination with the consumption of human blood (creepy and possibly evident of psychological instability), but to believe that one is a mythical creature thought up by Bram Stoker and turned into a damn good STORY, and that dragons, faeries, werewolves ect. really do exist when they have all been explained away as legends, mass madness, etc. is simple idiocy. IMO People who fall under this category should either wake up and realize that they are being delusional, or recieve madatory psychological help. Because really, it's all in their mind.

It has you starting to lie to your family.

Agreed that this is a flashing warning sign. Any relationship that causes you to lie to your family and friends is cause for concern. Look at it this way... you are now covering up aspects of your relationship when talking to your own mother which you are sharing with perfect strangers on an internet forum. Admittedly, most people do so because with your mother you aren't anonymous but to the forum you are, but consider the implications of your behavior and the hiding of it you've already begun.

too much weird drama for me. sometimes people get into weird stuff, then drag an unsuspecting S/O or friend (who may be thinking to themselves, "ah, i can handle it, and if anything is too weird for me i just won't do it" - yeah right!) along for the ride... i've seen it happen before IRL. it's important to know your own limits in life.

Well, not so long ago (before airplanes, before the Internet, before TV etc) it was easy to be unique/special, you didn't really know what others were doing. Nowadays most people have 6 billion others to compare with. See what I mean?

Why kidnap them and sell them into slavery! If they want to engage in wreckless behavior, why don't you try to make a few thousand $$ on the way and ship them off to Singapore to toil away for the the rest of their lives? I mean, honestly, do we expect these people to contribute beneficially to society anyway?

:\ I would just like to clarify that slavery is illegal in my country. I know we get a bad reputation for strict law enforcement and modron-like qualities, and a bit of teasing in those areas is only to be expected. We don't keep slaves, though. Really.

The whole discussion is about religion. To this girl being a vampire is her religion. She says she is a vampire the same way that I say I am a Christian. If we are not to talk about religion on this board than this whole thread is in violation of that.

A fetish and delusions do not a religion make.

Shhhh!

And Vampire as a lifestyle? Give me a break. Therapy+jailtime=winner here.

Jail? What would the charge be? There is no US Federal law nor state or local statute that prohibits the behavior of such "vampires" so long as it is mutually consensual and does not involve minors.

Please, enlighten us all. Quote the specific statute or statutes that would apply in this particular situation.
