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.

Okay so yes it's green text but...
I know people who work at inpatient acute facilities and they are constantly having to cockblock people to prevent truly horrible things from happening (think anorexia dating borderline or NPD + NPD)
So while this particular story may not have happened, this general story happens daily.
yeah you really really want to prevent them to have kids on accident. hell on purpose too.
those poor kids
one fucked up parent already fucks up a kid. imagine two
its a place where people calm down for the first time in forever, bored and together with others in the same situation. ofc romance ensures
Worse yet a lot of mental health conditions have genetic components so the kids are basically getting the worst hand you can possibly deal them.

The essence of the story: Meeting people in person in the real world always is better than looking for someone special on some scammy dating site...
Also it helps if you have stuff in common and are not there to meet people as your first goal.
especially considering that the dating service is interested in you looking for a partner, not actually finding one
If this story doesn't convince you that birth control should be free to anyone who wants it, then you're an idiot.
I never thought some people shouldn't be allowed to breed until I heard the stories from my obgyn wife. Holy shit is it heartbreaking, sometimes.
I'm sorry I can't upvote you multiple times!
He can fix her! She can fix him! I believe in Love!
At the very least they're taking each other off the market for the rest of us

Maybe this is a Sodium (explosive) + Chlorine (corrosive) = salt (delicious) type of situation?

30 day alcohol program is to encourage not drinking for 30 days right?
And not to be plastered for 30 days like the name implies.
The court has sentenced you to a month long bender. May Bacchus have mercy on your liver.
Pretty sure given Bacchus is over both alcohol and madness, he's going to preside over their entire relationship. Fertility too, so they may want to be extra careful with protection.

yeah we're both trying to stay sober
Also dating during the first stages of recovery is widely discouraged. The point is to focus on yourself and feel good about yourself, not dump all your energy and focus into a new relationship.

When she's literally your kind of crazy.
> True story
> Written in Greentext
🤔🤔🤔🤔
I knew a guy who met one of his wives while locked up in county jail.
Lmao at “one of”
By comparison, I know of a couple (met their kid), who had divorced and remarried each other so many times (often but not always with another marriage in between) that the last time they had to go to a different state because my state refused to do it yet again. Apparently the state will let you get married and divorced as many times as you'd like, but only so many times with the same partner.

Anon goes off the grid on the crazy hot matrix.

No where in that does it say to write your own greentexts, screenshot them, and then post them here.
But it also doesn't say you CAN'T do that either, so it is free game!

Can confirm. Got more actual dates with people that are legitimately interested in me from psychiatric hospitals and group therapy than online dating apps.

Involuntary committment to psych ward, you say?
My odds have just increased significantly
I fear that when I was young I would have read this post and immediately committed myself in the pursuit of love.
oh hey I married mine actually. 5 years in now.
