Lovequest The Relationship Vows

[Marvin]

Chris was trying to get Catie in the bag. Aha, you signed it and took the ring, no turning back now!

Wow this really does highlight the whole 'Colin' freakout a lot better; he vows that he'll tell her if he ever chases strange but then doesn't write in that she can do the same. Chris wanted a clause so he could sleep around but wanted Catie to not be able to do the same.
Am I still meant to be feeling sorry for Chris cos she 'wasn't real'? Cos even if he knew she was fake writing in something like that is a pretty huge dick move.

Open relationships are a difficult thing to deal with even if you're a well-adjusted, mature adult. Chris doesn't even understand what a relationship is, so he had no chance once Colin had her warmin' his bunk below decks.

Most definitely. If she'd taken him up on his offer of staying over Christmas, she'd have discovered that the guest room only has a door handle on the outside.

I like how it starts relatively innocent (if a bit stupid with the class ring) and then delves quickly into crazy town.

-to fully maintain honesty and loylty (sic) to
you at all times, now and forever.
Even when and if I should feel need for
a break, or to find fun with anyone else,

I know it was an open relationship but am I the only one that thought this was mad douchey?

-I vow to inform you of such times
and with who, and all other details.
of such.

Well at least she'll be informed of your indiscretions.

-to keep you topmost on my heart
and soul (alongside my mother, who
remains of my utmost loyalties, honesty
and such that goes in the mother-child
relationship, respectfully), and all relate
priorities as well.

You'll be the most important woman in my life....... besides my mother who I'm absolutely devoted too.

Thanks to @Thetan and @Unbovvered for the translation.

His Madonna-whore complex gives his Oedipus complex a run for its money.

Of course it never occurred to him just how incredibly creepy this is.

Remember we don't have context for this yet. It's entirely possible that Colin was nothing more than a friend in the platonic sense and that Chris still flew into a jealous fit... even though he sees nothing wrong with screwing around when it's him.

I sort of put the blame for that sort of thinking on Barb. If that's what he was thinking, Chris was trying to trick Catherine into being in the relationship. It's a shame that this kind of manipulation is one of the only things she taught Chris.

At least he never mentioned Sonichu?

 

[Muncie Anderson]

Remember in the past how he would just draw porn of himself fingering his latest object of affection?

Not that these vows are any less creepy, though.

I know I'm late to the party here, but I've just got to point out how fucking creepy this is. If the texts released earlier were anything to go by, Chris and Catherine were never in a relationship at all, and Chris just sent her what amounts to wedding vows. I know this is Chris we're talking about, but how clueless do you have to be to send this shit?

Spoiler: about this clueless

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

I busted out laughing when I got to the last page which vowed to write more shit once he feels like it/she does something wrong and he needs to add more rules.

 

[blackie toy]

The other thing I noticed is he doesn't talk about what he expects of catherine in this arrangement - I feel like what he's really saying is he expects her to passively agree to these terms and not question then, so later he can say (in fact he basically did when he was trying to manipulate her in those texts) "I'm upholding my part of the contract - you uphold yours!" and whatever that is is up to Chris.

Yeah, I caught onto that as well. Ultimately I figured that since it's a set of vows it's not something by which you dictate terms to the other party, but something you pledge on your own part.

But yeah it's entirely possible he expected her to just give the same in response.

I would say it's the responsibility of Catie to specifically shut Chris down if she's uncomfortable with him thinking they're dating. (I don't remember the details behind their situation and how much she's at fault.)

However, it's blatantly obvious that Chris is trying to "seal the deal" with these vows. I wish Catie called him out on that, just so we could see his panicky backtracking. "Nonono, dese aren't wedding vows!! (they just resemble wedding vows in every other way but the name!!)"

 

[Reno]

That's my boy writing an escape clause into the contract so he can get snizz on the side. I hope the next troll gal pal to come along is as fortunate as Christine (Catherine) to be offered the class ring.

Chris honestly believes that "no takesies backsies" can be forcefully applied to a romantic relationship.

 

[Meeko]

When I read these vows, this was the first thing that popped into my mind:

[Tubular Monkey]

So this was to be a holy relic in the joyous uniting of two young lovers? If that's the case, maybe write a version where you haven't scratched out mistakes and started over again. Nah. Effort. Here, sign this and you can't leave.

Actually, it doesn't matter if the proponent can prove by clear and convincing evidence the intent of the testator.

Law school finals. My bad. =(

 

[Zim]

I'm sure Sonichu told him this would work for sure and was part of how he got Rosechu.

Beyond that, I have no words.
