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.

Well yeah, this is basically describing an obcessively jealous girlfriend with a complete lack of self confidence and no life of her own.

I'm sure if the post continued further we'd find that his mommy/child bride/servant is also terrified to ever leave the house without him.

Am I just more charitable to anon, or is it just me? I thought that he just wants to hear these words once in a while occasionally, while being wanted by another person, just like he would want the same person.

You mean like "when you talk to strangers it makes me jealous"?

You mean the only thing in the post resembling a red flag?

Being 4Chan, I was keeping an eye on the vibes of the post, and apart from that nothing sticks out as particularly off. And even then, being a bit jealous is understandable so long as it's not acted on or causes mental issues

Nah, the other stuff

Having a jealous partner is absolutely awful. They only think they want this they absolutely don't.

I had a friend who had a jealous boyfriend and he was convinced I was trying to sleep with her, at one point he tried to challenge me to a fight for her love or something. When I told him I wasn't interested in her he got really mad and accused me of insulting his girlfriend. Unsurprisingly she ended up dumping him which frankly the entire friend group was relieved by.

These people are nutcases if they think they want that

Then there are the people who make their partners jealous and suspicious, even if they never were before. Have an ex like that, I remember her talking about her ex early on in our relationship and how he'd constantly think she was cheating, even to the point where he went and looked for her at the bars she'd normally be at when she's out with friends. I thought that was fucking nuts, but just a few months later I understood him. I never did what he did, but it didn't take long for me to feel no trust for her. Many times it almost felt like she consciously made it seem like she was cheating and then freaked out whenever I even hinted at how it looked to me and others. And even when we were out together she always found some guy who fell for her right there and then did all the things people do when they flirt, but denying that she does flirt and saying it's all subconscious. As far as I'm aware she has never been caught cheating, but I'm absolutely certain she does. It's been 5 years since we broke up and I still feel like my normal trust and view of people is damaged because of her. And they guy she got together with after me, less than a week, had the same experience as me. She broke him in the same way. I had never before fully regretted a relationship of any kind, no matter how short or long, but with her I do. She's gorgeous and generally has a good personality and is easy to fall in love with, then she breaks you and moves on within a week after.

This thread made me realize that I have never really been in a relationship before.

What's scary is that this fantasy seems so desirable to so many, that it's an ideal anyway

I blame anime.

It is easy to forget all the toxicity that comes between each line

Tohru deserves better than this. I think. I'm only on Episode 6.

Hah, my texts seem like I'm playing wheel of fortune and I'm out of vowels.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I’d wanna be able to fly, or teleport, or use magic, if I was in heaven, but I guess that means I have a good life.
