what do you want him to ‘defend’? And ‘lol’? Really?
You believe you are his territory and you want him to defend it? Against who or what?
If you aren’t doing anything, there’s no one to defend his territory against?
Sounds like a fucked up situation. He is a cheat, you are now playing games trying to get him to show he is jealous as it’s the only way you can feel wanted and desired
But if he was jealous, that doesn’t mean you are loved or desired. Lots of people who get jealous, only do so to assert control. They don’t want the other person, but they don’t want to lose control of that person. Sometimes people stay with cheaters, because they love the drama and toxic situation. They thrive on it. They need the drama of partner having a choice of someone else, but coming back to them.
and no, love isn’t irrational. Staying in a shitty relationship where both people are toxic isn’t love. It’s certainly not an environment children should be brought into.
