Currently watching an episode of Good Luck Charlie. PJ says that a girl he's dating told him that her mom used to know his dad. PJ tells his parents this and Bob says she was the last girl he dated before Amy. Amy gets upset for absolutely no accountable reason. He hasn't been talking to this woman or even thinking about her, much less doing anything romantic with her. How dare he have dated other girls before Amy. How dare he not have just waited around for her his whole life. How dare the women he dated not retroactively disappear from existence. To be fair this is Amy Duncan, the irrational drama queen. Sidenote, I'm pretty sure the actress is MAGA and currently does conservative kids shows.

Yeah, that's one of the idiot plot tools that bothers me too. It happens in real life, but hopefully not in people who have entered adulthood.

Not wanting to hear about it? That's fine.
Irrational feelings of retroactive possessiveness or jealousy? Also fine.
Wanting some relationship reassurance? Also totally fine.

The key part is being mature and recognizing that it's about your needs, and not the other person's behavior. Being upset with someone else because of the above is unreasonable. Letting them know you'd like a reassurance isn't.

People be silly sometimes though.
