Give her my e-mail address. I’ll take all the erotic stuff she can plagerise.
Excellent point. If she plagiarized out of insecurity, telling her you prefer her writing will make her feel better. In addition, she may be encouraged to confess, which could open it up for an honest discussion about the erotica, the lie, and your relationship. The communication can make your connection to each other stronger, all the better for a very long-distance relationship. It’s often the painful things – even relatively minor infractions such as this one – that help strengthen relationships the most.
Go to the same erotic literature site, choose another story near the one she sent, cut and paste it and send it to her.
Chances are she’ll have already read this one while choosing the one she sent to you.
This is kind of a nod and a wink to let her know you’re on to her plagiarism.
Then at the end of the email, say “No, wait! I’ve got a better idea of what I’d really like to be doing with you!”
Then write something particulary hot and steamy, including some personal details to make it clear that your own fevered mind came up with this.
And be sure to copy us all!
Good luck.
A woman who can tell creative lies is not always a bad thing.
Glad you decided to let it drop. There are things worth getting your dander up and then there are things worth dropping. This belongs in the latter category.
Dude, you’re over-reacting.
But if you’re still unhappy, send her around to me. I’ll take good care of her, and so would other guys. In other words, be grateful–because she can replace you in a heartbeat.
Good women are hard to find.
Back off, boys, the lady’s mine! Yeah, I know how lucky I am, and Lord knows that I do my best to make her feel like the queen she is. I’ve had my fair share of girlfriends, but when I met her, I knew she was the one…
My main worry, though, is the culture shock. My Fiancee was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, and she’s never lived anywhere else in her life. I, however, live in a green and pleasant corner of Surrey in England. It’s about as far removed from the chaotic non-stop energy of Cairo as you can imagine.
She’s used to everything being open at all hours, and to a never-ending river of beeping, honking traffic flowing through the dusty city streets. She’s used to hanging out at trendy cafe’s with her friends and having no responsibilities other than finishing her degree with some respectable grades.
When we get married, she’s going to move to England to live with me. She’s going to leave behind all the friends she’s ever known, all of her family, the city she grew up in, everything. I will always be unutterably grateful for the sacrifice she’s making, but I worry about how she’s going to adjust.
Yes, she’s going to feel homesick - there’s no getting around that. But will she get bored when she finds that pretty much everything around here shuts at 10 or 11pm? Will she feel lost without her family, will she feel intimidated by having to make a whole new set of friends? By the way, she’s almost 21 at the moment, and by the time we get married next spring, she’ll be almost 22. So how will she adjust to the responsibilities of helping to run a home?
Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for an excuse to back out of this, and I’m not having doubts or second thoughts. I truly, madly, deeply love this woman and and want to start a family with her. I just want to make sure that her transition from “carefree sheltered college girl” to “young wife living in a new country” is as smooth as possible.
So at the risk of hijacking my own thread, does anyone have any ideas about how I can help her? Anyone been in a similar situation with their husbands or wives?
I suggest you both get shocked together and move to America. 
“Go to the same erotic literature site, choose another story near the one she sent, cut and paste it and send it to her.”
Sure, but what if it turns out that she wrote the original & then submitted it to the erotic
literature website herself? Then she also sent the guy a copy of that?
If you’re both keen on starting a family then go for it straight away and you’ll be that tired and exhausted all you will want to do is sleep when the babes arrive. There’s no time to be bored by shops closing early etc!
It’s the same thing I tell my husband as he moves us every 6 months or so. I can be happy in the worst place on earth, I could live on the moon, as long as I have my family (that is my husband and our two children.)
This won’t be the most popular view on the thread, but I’d say bring it up, discuss it, get it out in the open. This can be done in a friendly, non-threatening, non-hostile way. She needs to know that you’re not really mad, and how much you love her. But she also needs to know that you don’t want to lie to her by pretending you don’t know something you do.
My main point would be: this is a relatively minor, innocent ‘lie’ about a relatively minor matter (some excusable plagiarism). If you can’t be honest with each other about this, what’s gonna happen when there are bigger tests of honesty ahead (and there will be, believe me)? If you can’t discuss this out in the open, what hope is there for more serious tests of trust and open-ness?
Apart from which, it’s not a good idea to deny your own feelings or feel you need to hide them. It’s not just that she covered up her plagiarism. There is also the fact that you were making the time to do something creative and special for her, and she wasn’t reciprocating. If I were you, I’d want to get this out in the open. Reciprocation can be quite important in a loving relationship.
