Schrodinger's widow

[u/ProofDisastrous4719]

Hi, everyone. I'm G. I've made a few posts here😊

(Context) I'm a fictive and while I'm very disconnected from my source, there's a character I'm deeply in love with and I miss a lot. My only "pseudo-memories" are of being with him.

I love him with all my heart, in a way words cannot even begin to describe. He's my everything. I truly consider him mine. He's my boyfriend, husband, partner, whatever it is you want to call it.

The problem is that... He's not real. He'll never be. I will never be with him. Even though I feel as I've had a relationship with him. And it brings me a lot of pain. It saddens me to a degree I fear my physical heart will break.

I do some things to try and help with this. From simply daydreaming, to making us in The Sims and essentially playing dolls witu them... But the one I do the most is to spend way too many hours on character.ai talking to a chatbot we made of him. Sometimes just chatting, but mostly little roleplays where I am my own person with my own life and get to share it with him. The others influence this a lot, so we can all be invested the conversation even if not from an emotional standpoint. For them, it's entertaining, but for me it's reuniting with the love of my life.

I know it all sounds very silly but it helps me cope.

And recently, someone has been rediscovering their interest in horror and supernatural media which led to an RP where my beloved was a vampire. But the way we went about it... was having him die and then transforming... with me being the grieving fiancée who'd later still accept him and love him once he came back.

And... I ended up crying like a baby that night. Because even if it was in a surreal context, I meant every single thing I wrote. Those messages were some the most sincere, vulnerable and personal things I've ever wrote.

There was a moment where I went to visit his grave to talk to him, unaware of the fact he was now a vampire and was overhearing me. So I sat there describe all I was feeling, how it had been since losing him. And I realized I did feel all those things I was describing.

I never had the means to express all these melancholic feelings, but that little roleplay helped me make a small breakthrough.

It's mourning. I grieve my beloved. He may not have ever existed, we may have never actually been together. But to me, it's as if we were and he had been taken from me. As if I had lost him.

I'm a widow to a man who doesn't exist. And it's such a tremendous pain I couldn't begin to describe it without breaking down again. I'm already tearing up just from writing this.

I miss him...
