But inside, it seems, they harbor only one fear: "What if he does the same to me?"

It's as if they're testing. They're seeing how jealous their partner will be, how willing they are to fight. But in reality, they're not testing him—they're testing themselves. They're afraid that if they easily attract attention, he might too. And then they'll be betrayed too. So they create the very situation they fear most.

It's a strange way to love. Instead of honesty and openness, it's a game. They watch his reaction. And when he gets jealous, a strange relief appears: "That means I'm still needed." But it quickly gives way to shame. Because they themselves sow doubts, which then destroy both of them.

I think many are simply tired of this game. They want to learn not to test, but to trust. Not to provoke, but simply to be. Because true intimacy begins not when you make someone afraid of losing you, but when you stop being afraid of losing them.
