This reminds me of my extremely jealous girlfriend I had when I got out of the army. Back in the era when hugging in the workplace was still normal, a short (5โ€™1โ€ณ or so) woman hugged me completely platonically for a major project Iโ€™d helped her with, leaving a little bit of lipstick on my collar. I didnโ€™t notice it.

When I got home, my girlfriend sure did and tearfully accused me of cheating on her, then progressed to screaming, then asked how many of the girls at work I planned to sleep with before proceeding to kick me out. After I said, โ€œAs many as it takes until you get tired of screaming at me,โ€ I went and stayed at a hotel. I shouldโ€™ve broken up with her so much earlier, but she was also financially dependent on me and I was attempting to be nice, in part.

Hint: donโ€™t be nice. It just makes your life miserable. Looking back, I never shouldโ€™ve allowed her to behave the way she did to me. But you learn.
