Okay, so longish time lurker, swallowed the pill almost a year ago when I left home for school. I've been having really good success and credit a lot of that to the RP subreddit, this one too, and to my cousin who is kind of my unknowing mentor.

Basically, I moved in with my cousin and his wife right after Freshman year (have to live in the damn dorms at least one year) and it's been AWESOME. I've got the apartment above the garage and it's a sweet place in a sweet neighborhood (cousin and his wife are both doctors) and they are chill about letting me do my thing but still making sure I come in for dinner or to hang out every few days. His wife sends up food and little stuff to my place, which is pretty much a whole separate apartment from them, and has given me her car to take out and put me on her gym membership, blah blah, basically she's cool shit.

So I'm describing this to point out my cousin is like my unofficial RP mentor - he killed it with women in college, always had the hot girl, and now has the hot wife who's also not an entitled bitch about being married to a doctor. I'm not all about an LTR yet, but this is eventually where I'd like to end up.

BUT! So this last weekend they have a party, I come in for food and drinks even though it's not really anyone my age. Cousin and wife are chatting with some guy who's saying he's stuck going to his company party/fundraiser/whatever and it's a big deal at his work that people be coupled up or something. He's pissed or whatever that he's going to have to go with some date he doesn't even want to spend time with, so my cousin says "take Wife, she's into (insert whatever fundraising bullshit) and she can work a crowd." Wife says sure and friend is pretty much "fuck yeah, problem solved."

Maybe it's a small thing, but that threw me. I don't care if plates see other people, but sending your LTR or your wife out with some single guy?? It just bugged me. I'm looking for some outside opinions/insight. I know my cousin isn't self proclaimed RP, but up until now I took him as pretty Alpha??
