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.

are you and the 93 people who upvoted you crazy??
lmfao in what fucking world is serving divorce papers and then tearing them up right after they’re signed not even just a little bit toxic, if not emotionally abusive?
maybe a fucking adam sandler movie but this is real life.
think before you do stupid shit? other people don’t owe you discretion bc you’re an idiot? “uwu but what about the wife’s feeeeelings????” brother man grow tf up this isn’t a high school fling it’s a marriage. if you wanted to pull shit like this, why did you change it from girlfriend/boyfriend to husband/wife? was that about feelings too?
oop shouldve ran when they had the chance and the papers were signed.
sorry as someone who grew up as a child caught between this stupid shit people like you piss me off so much. this is traumatic for all involved.
we did it guys, we found the REAL anon
Fuck man, I don't disagree with you. Don't construe my words as me saying there's nothing wrong here, but I also am not in the "omg just get divorced" camp, either. I've been in great and terrible relationships and I've seen behavior like above in both. There's a massive difference between "I'm serving you these papers to cause suffering or as a shit test" and what OOP's wife did. YES, her behavior was toxic. Toxicity doesn't happen in a vacuum.
I've been around plenty of guys like the greentexter, too. Aloof, unaware, "women say the darnedest things" types. If he doesn't see the situation and say, "Damn I got some problems with this relationship that need fixing" then he's insane. But this guy says, "I love you and I've always tried... Man this is weird, better post to 4chan!"
Perhaps she's been trying to talk to him about it but he's been acting like a dumbass and this was her last ditch effort to shake some sense into him. AGAIN, her behavior is unhealthy. But if his response to it is to show love, and hers is to break down and back away from the edge, then perhaps there is more foundation here than we're seeing in the context of this message.
I love my partner dearly and I regret to say I've acted in ways like this before during difficult times. Love is fucking hard sometimes. It's about how you pick the pieces up and move forward.
Your empathy is commendable but this is fake, homedog
