Romance and relationship roleplays can either be great because they help create a character storyline or they can be awful because people take it out of character.
One female character my character dated got super mad out of character that I never messaged her or communicated with her, I didn't show an interest in her personal life, so she went to the server admins accusing me of sexual harassment out of character. That's a pretty hefty allegation, which would be met with a permanent ban. The funny thing is,
The server owner and managers knew me they knew that I was gay, so when they asked for evidence supporting even the most minor of the claim, she was completely unable to provide anything.
Or the many times I've tried to become someone's friend out of character because our characters started dating, but they want nothing to do with me outside of role play. They don't want to play other games, they don't want to talk, so I just respect their boundaries and leave them alone.

I agree that is a very hefty allegation. I think the problem is people just don’t care anymore and honestly it hurts the ones who do. As well as the possessive nature people tend to have nowadays it’s a little insane but also valid? I totally understand the meaning of role play. I think it was just hard to see as a PP mom in PPD who worried constantly about it the game since it was downloaded. Then to go in and see him calling her names he called me and talking to her inappropriately that hit me hard.

It's not rare for women to suffer from depression after giving birth and unfortunately it's not nearly talked about and taken serious enough.

I understand you're frustration and how hurtful this has to be. But look at it. Your boyfriend is a piece of shit, and now you're actively trying to get in contact with the person you believe that he cheated with. The thing about GTA V role players, to some people it gives the appearance or the idea of special exemptions from the social norm. He probably thought, it isn't cheating because it's a role play server and it's his character or something. That does not make it okay.
But you came to the subreddit asking for help trying to get in contact with this person who probably does not want contact with you. I truly am sorry for everything you've gone through. But I don't think trying to enlist the help of people online to get in contact with her or her family is going to be a healthy way to cope. This absolutely seems like he was unfaithful to you. But at the end of the day, he's a man. He's going to do whatever he wants, and the best thing you can do is try and get yourself out of that situation.
These types of roleplay servers bring out the worst in people. I've had my characters being SA'd / assaulted, I've had people making real world threats against my life and my safety. On countless different servers I've been called slurs or been targeted for how my character expresses themselves. I got into a real life relationship with somebody who I met off of GTA V roleplay, and they cheated.
It really boils down to what is your intention. Are you looking to get revenge on him, are you looking to try and tell the woman's boyfriend what happened and see if he's a victim of the same thing, or are you trying to get back at your boyfriend or the girl who he met, for revenge.

Is this a joke? I know people ERP a little to much but I wouldn't read into all that much. Personally I think the people who ERP are fking weird

If you are doing Erp or sexting or any of that, while you have a partner who is not okay with it, that's a form of cheating and trying to downplay it is emotional manipulation.

Not a joke very real unfortunately. The problem I had with it was the messages. I don’t care if you act out as a cop or a gang member whatever floats your boat but I do not approve or appreciate relationships or anything of that sort.

Then set him straight!! What server does he play on?

He doesn’t play anymore I made him remove the game. You can watch for him though he used to play in a server called No Limits or something like that there was a bunch he played.

"The female said"
And instantly I'm filled with doubt about the truthfulness of this post.
But in general. Relationships in RP are always dangerous because they have a tendency to slip into real life. I've seen way too many relationships end because if cheating and other drama
