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.

Wanted you to fight for her affection. Time to separate and run away

This will NOT be the last test their partner does. Relationship tests are toxic.

Relationship tests are toxic.

Hah. The woman I was briefly married to really wanted me to be jealous, but I didn't realize that at the time. I was just happy for her whenever she told be about her great friends who happened to be men.

This culminated when she told me it wasn't fair that I had had other sexual partners in my life but she had not. I replied that if she was asking me for an open relationship and it was really important to her, then it would be something we could discuss. That was not what she wanted to hear.

She was not a nice person (to put it mildly) so I don't regret being so clueless.

I've found some people who act jealous and want you to be jealous are that way because they're cheaters. They may not be cheating now but they know they would given the right opportunity and they assume you're like them. So they worry about you cheating and they get upset when you don't worry about them cheating because they assume that means you don't care. It's a messed up and miserable way of thinking, and if you're not the cheating or jealous type but naive to their thinking, together you'll have a lot of conflict and confusion.
