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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My current SO is similar. They asked if I'd be okay with them watching a movie with a friend of my gender online. I said, "sure, go for it" offhandedly. They were flabbergasted and said they expected me to be jealous. They then asked how I'd feel if it was in person instead, and I said, "I'd want to meet them first because I don't trust them, but I do trust you." Again, flabbergasted.
My SO is a nice person though, just a little protective. We're happily married and we make sure to inform eachother about anything the other may be uncomfortable with. We just differ in what we're comfortable with, and I think that's fine.
That sounds like they might have an insecure attachment style.
Yeah, perhaps. But it's not too hard to work around, and the benefits of the relationship far outweigh any inconvenience. If I wanted to hang out with a friend of my SO's gender, I would either bring my SO along or at least have them get to know each other first.
