When a partner says 'stop being jealous, we were just texting' and refuses to acknowledge why constant contact with exes or others feels threatening, they're invalidating a legitimate boundary concern rather than addressing it. The issue isn't jealousy — it's whether the relationship's terms around outside contact are negotiable or unilaterally set. If your discomfort is treated as the problem instead of the behavior, you've already lost the argument.
