My ex tried this shit with me talking to any women. I had never, even once, given her any hint of inpropriety.

I ended it there, that day, and just stayed single for the next year or so.

A person that jealous is a red flag for control

That or projection and they are cheating themselves... been there

What, she once said "no more talking to other women"!?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 days ago

A downward spiral that ended more or less there.

We had been together for a couple years, long distance. she was a couple months from moving back.

Start of conversation, I say: Kate said that the renfest tickets were about to go on sale

Who's Kate.

Kate at work, there's a crew that goes every year, we should go.

What else do you and Kate talk about?

Devolves into wanting an index of female friends and leading questions of if they are nice...

Mind you, we'd not been fighting; I was always accountable and on time. We had just spent most of a week together.

Near the end, she made it an "it's either me or her..."

Kate is gay... I could have went down that path, But at this point, "woah woah woah, give me your key, we're done"

I never regretted that.

This is the kind of healthy drama I want to see. It seems so far fetched it might actually make a good television show.

The older you are, the less fuck-giving you get.

Had a friend who's wife started assuming he was cheating or trying to cheat with any other woman in his life. It was very extreme. Like - he once held the door open for a random woman entering a restaurant and she started accusing the woman of being a whore.

He ended up staying with her for a few more years because their daughter was 16 and he didn't want to end up paying child support, and when they split up the 18yo daughter moved in with him.

she started accusing the woman of being a whore.

To her face? That's like BPD or something

It was shortly after covid that she went kinda crazy, so I've wondered if she had some long-covid issues.

Oh probably not even that. I know a few people that had the psychological whiplash of going from being able to pretend that they were safe and bad things happened to Other People, to InVisIBle THinGs aRe OuT tO gEt mE!!!!

And so they went antivax or some other psycho mindset
