No normal human would just sit still while watching someone trying to confess to their partner…From experience, it’s way more effective to let your partner crush their hopes than acting possessive. Also, it shows your partner you trust them.

You’ve just never dated someone hot enough.
Seriously, when people trying to hit on your partner is a weekly occurrence, you either learn to take it in stride or die from the ulcer your rage ends up giving you.
Never dated anyone cause I have no interests in dating.You’ve just never dated someone hot enough.

Still cant understand why you would just let someone hit on your partner even if its weekly
I guess if you’ve never had a partner, you’ll have trouble getting it. One thing to take into account, is that there’s an aftermath to the “encounter”. If you get angry about your partner getting hit on, that anger isn’t going to just magically disappear once that person goes away; and during that cooldown time your partner is the one who has to deal with that anger. (#) So while your partner may feel flattered that you get jealous about them (not guaranteed), that’s quickly gonna get outweighed by having to cool down your anger on a regular basis. Especially since getting jealous also means you aren’t confident in your relationship and somehow don’t trust your partner. Like, do you really think they’re gonna get wooed away by some random ass stranger?! So in the end, your partner has to manage your anger because you can’t trust them: that’s really not a good standing ground for a lasting relationship.
(#) Worst case scenario, the person doesn’t back down, you get into a fight, and your partner has to deal with you getting hurt. Whatever chivalry bullshit fiction depicts, nobody likes seeing their partner get hurt, and if you deliberately get into a fight over something avoidable, you are definitely getting an earful…
Also, in the case of someone who gets hit on a lot, it’s a hassle for them too: they’re in a relationship, they don’t wanna get hit on by random strangers all the time. So it’s already a bad experience, and by getting angry, you make it worse. It’s actually a sign of empathy to be understanding about what they’re going through and to be mature about it. Which makes you a better partner, by being supportive instead of possessive.

Though, just cause you dont sit still and just lets some stranger hit on your partner, doesnt mean you get angry or into a fight. You can easily tell the stranger to f off without getting angry.
Also we have seen times and times again that “Like, do you really think they’re gonna get wooed away by some random ass stranger” do happen way more often than people like to think.
