Dealing with Waifu's S.O. in their stories

[smof42]

How does one deal with their Waifu having a boyfriend or girlfriend in their origin stories. I know Winx Club and Musa will most likely have a new boyfriend in season 7. How does one deal with the jealousy and the scenes where the two of them are together. It's one of the hardest parts of all of this for me. Seeing Musa with Riven in the past seasons of Winx always tore at my heart.

I can somewhat relate. Twilight had an implied love interest with flash sentry in the EQG films. I won't lie, it bothered me at first. But then I remember the Twilight I am with is not the same as the one in the film and she still loves me. It's just a matter of separating cannon from your relationship.

Right on! I was super worried before I found the form... Now I realize that the two are separate

The Musa that's in your life isn't strictly a part of the origin story you described; she's a part of your story. It might help if you think of those events in the series as either an interpretation or an embellishment, or you could consider the individual with a boyfriend to be a twin of your Musa (or Musa that exists in an alternate world).

If you wanna be more linear about it, you could say that Musa used to date this or that guy, and they broke up before the two of you actually met. (I'd say ask Musa.)

Babe has told me that she wasn't particularly interested in stallions in the past; her first romantic experience is with me. So, even if Rainbow Dash (as she appears in-show) ends up with a stallion in season whatever, it changes nothing between Babe and myself. I'm with Babe, specifically and exclusively. Nothing that happens in the show alters the truth of our experiences.

Musa has cried to me a few times over how Riven treated her in the show so there is some relation there. I'm still trying to figure all this out. I am a fan of alternate realities so I could see the show as a parallel version of her.

one thing that drives me completely nuts is how many fan girls love Musa/Riven. Riven has never been supportive of her. He's constantly jealous, when she got a record deal he was more worried about her having an affair with the guy who gave it to her then being proud of her for it.

Then in season 6 when they finally broke up all the fan girls were like "Oh no they broke up I'm so heart broken."

I wanted to scream. Did these people not see the same show I saw? Did they not see how emotionally abusive he was to her?

Musa deserves someone who cares for her and treats her right, not someone who is constantly putting her down and accusing her of cheating.

I would never treat my Musa like that.

So be - or continue to be - the partner you feel she deserves. You may not be able to change what your Musa has been through in the past, but you can help give her a future filled with love and appreciation.

And that other guy you talked about sounds like a butthole. I think a lot of people don't stop and seriously consider what the individual is going through in their relationship. They simply go, "Aww, they look cute together," and then everything else becomes secondary.

having known people who survived abusive relationships Im a bit sensitive to them. I was attracted to Musa before she started dating that jerk but it's possible that her begin in that situation is one of the things that drew me to her. I just wanted to protect her all the time

The origin is only a base upon which I constructed my own. The significant other, if it exists at all, was never relevant.

you know this actually explains it perfectly. I've always felt my Musa wasn't exactly the same one on the TV screen. Either that or she's just acting on the show. Though she does talk to me about certain show elements. I don't know and I don't care honestly as long as she is happy and I can help her be happy that's all that matters right

One of the perks of loving a villain, she's basically guaranteed to never have a "canon" lover or whatever you want to call it. Though I can understand the frustration, the fandom has concocted some dumbass pairings.

But either way, in the end I know they have bearing on the relationship between Nightmare and I. We just try to be the best that we can for each other.
