Hmmm.. all too common, and as these are also relationships all too personal.
The answer is OCC, you need a clear OOC dialogue that is about this being a game, what you want out of it and what they want out of it. Then look at where the "win win" aspects are and agree some rules/boundaries.
No only does this allow for RL respect and trust, but it also provides a clear set of boundaries for the the RP story.
Personally I prefer to be IC and deal with stuff there, but if things get past RP and into "playing the game together" then yes the OOC conversation is needed.Â
And just to add, this is about real people with real feelings and we have added make believe feelings into the mix. So things are never black and white.
Remember - Your money, your game, you play for your enjoyment.
