Thinking about how when I started dating my girlfriend, she was dating a trans guy who repeatedly said he was fine with her being poly only to repeatedly complain when she would talk about how we had a nice date or I did something that made her happy and then she eventually realized I was treating her better than he was and rather than be a better boyfriend to her, he started telling our friend group that I was toxic and manipulative and encouraging her to develop bad habits when I've been helping her work on her mental and physical health since we started dating and she's overall so much happier and he started saying he felt unsafe around me because I'm so big and mean and scary (read: a trans woman taller than him who sometimes works out) and telling everyone I was threatening him and everyone took his side because he's just a smol bean and it's his birthday and now everyone around here hates me and acts like I pushed him out of his relationship and she treated him poorly when he was a careless asshole and I just showed her what it's like to have a partner who actually cares about you
