This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Especially the idea of withholding conversation or sex as punishment.

What if the withholding is driven purely by emotion rather than being premeditated?

Like, someone is angry, so they dont talk for awhile? They are sad, so maybe no fuckey tonight? Etc. Thats fine. I dont mean to say they should always be talking or fucking.

Withholding to punish, or to steer the partner a certain way is what seems problamatic.

Yeah, like that.

My point being, what we end up saying is that two people could do exactly the same thing, but it is only acceptable if there is no premeditation and everything is completely emotional.

I feel like we are making the same point
