Hello

Hello.

I'm an 18 yr old female and I have MPD. We are functional, except for the little *coughs* in the system. I am dating a 23 yr old male who is simply amazing. I have recently confided in him about the MPD, and he as expected took it greatly.(His best friend also has MPD)

Because of the fact this is a relationship between a singleton and a multiple, and I have little to no prior experiance with this I am looking for some help on how to make this work without making it awkward. The last thing I want is problems due to this. 

One of my alters is male, and in no way gay, and hates even holding hands with my boyfriend when he is fronting. This is the main reason this was confided into him-to go from touchy me to 'get your hands off of me' me I could tell was confusing the boyfriend. This alter has a bad temper and is very protective/possessive towards me, and can barely tolerate the boyfriends presence. My question for the alter is how can he politely tell the boyfriend to stop touching him-before he goes into a rage and intentionally hurts him. The alter has only been well behaved for the deals we have made for his good behaviour-however his patience for this little game is waning.

Any tips would be greatly appretiated.

Thank you for your time.

And yes, as Toni of catskillmarina said, it is more appropriate to refer to people within multiple or plural groups as people, rather than alters. It's considered offensive by many, including me and the rest of my group.

Regards,
Richard (who really should have included this in his other comment)

Did she call you an alter? This was kinda my point to people above. I double checked, I didn't see her calling the rest of the community alters. How she talks about her own group is her business, if it's what she wants.

I shall concede that, I suppose. I wasn't meaning to censure her usage and I shan't start a debate about the merits of the term. I don't care to use it myself.
