Spied on, watched, then berated following questionable activity by the individual's alt. The 2nd, an individual's alt took a liking to me, but due to their main's relationship and the OOC agreement and discussions they had about alts, made it unlikely that the alt and me would ever move forward. The 3rd, was that the individual had multiple alts that had multiple relationships going on simultaneously, that were shared with other partners, causing other partners to follow, get jealous, stalk, etc.
What I'm trying to say is, you have to look at the other side as well and your "alts" lifestyles. If you are crossing alt boundaries, then you're not keeping in IC whatsoever. I also can't imagine what type of mindset, nor time someone could have to run and maintain multiple relationships at the same time. It's just not fair to the other party. It's also not fair that the individual be expected to remain loyal to to multiple characters in an IC sense.
Multiple characters and their involvement in the relationship is really the downfall in many relationships IG. Hence why monogamy is the staple lifestyle when it comes to IRL.
