  I think they’re trying to say that he doesn’t even feel like her backup, he’s her backup x times removed. Which kinda undercuts his point a bit, but does set the stage for a complete removal of attraction and the very particular manic ending they wrote for their story

    There’s something insulting about being the one she wants to settle down with after a bunch of flings etc.

    When’s my turn to have fun?

      I hope some day you can reflect on this statement and realise the toxicity behind it.

        What’s toxic about wanting better than being the backup option?

        I think the toxic part is what was added by ilovethebomb. They never asked this and seemed to have genuinely moved on.

    Why are you being charitable to a greentext poster lmfao. It’s like when the skinhead starts saying dogwhistles and someone is like “well maybe he doesn’t know it’s a dog whistle”.

    Idk man, maybe you’ve not been exposed to enough 4chan.

      sure, let’s just assume malice or ill intent whenever possible, and forget about any empathy or sympathy.

        Bro. We are talking about a 4chan greentext poster. What more do you want me to fucking say? Are you joking?

      Or maybe he has experienced enough 4chan to the point where he realises those hidden meanings.
