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.

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

I think there’s a broader spectrum of jealousy than just “none at all” and “I’ll fight anyone who looks at my partner.” A little jealousy is normal, even in healthy relationships. We’re all human, after all.

Giving anon the benefit of the doubt, I’d guess they were hoping for just a healthy dose of jealousy. You know, as a treat.

He was a weird one. He once made me play golf with him, and acted all smug and superior that apparently he was better at it than I was.

I mean it's golf, who cares?
