Can someone please help me with a reversed line issue on my phone line?
When I connect a cable tester to a phone jack on the wall, it says that the line is okay. But when I connect a phone line to the jack, and then connect that phone line to the cable tester, it is giving me a reversed line reading. I am able to fix this problem by connecting a second phone line to that phone line, using a coupler. But is it normal for the phone line that goes to the phone to be reversed, or should that also have a normal reading on my cable tester?

On purpose a modular phone cord is reversed. I don't remember why, it just is. It only makes a difference if your phone is polarity sensitive, ie the tone pad won't dial out, but the modular conversion actually compensates for that. Of course if for some really odd reason you require proper polarity in phone lines (then they're called trunks as in Ground Start to a PBX) you'll know it because PBX ground start trunks don't ring if they're reversed.
We normally try to have correct polarity, but we don't worry about it if it isn't.

If you are researching a quantity of numbers, though, I suppose, you might want a service. I can't imagine why the average person would need to research a quantity of numbers, though, so I assume this is business-related, and it then seems only fair that you pay for a service. But maybe it's not.

I don't think it's wrong of you to not want him naked in front of other females. In most cases nakedness=sex so that would be inappropriate. At the same time most girls won't want to be with a drunk naked guy the same way a guy would want to be with a drunk naked girl roles aren't really the same there. I've had my fair share of text arguments and they go no where. You can't fully express or explain how you feel in that lil damn box lol especially with a hot tempered guy. Next time when things get a little heated even if it is an important subject I'd change the subject and talk about it in person. What he said about boundaries... that worries me. Guys say what they mean. Being in a relationship is a boundary in and of itself. It comes with all kinds of implied rules. If he feels he doesn't need any boundaries then he should be in a committed relationship. I'd dig a little deeper and found out why he is so defensive about it. Does it mean he won't compromise on things because then you are "controlling" him? Don't make a big deal of it just ask him how he feels and throw in hypothetical situations and see what he says.Good luck girl.

It's supposed to be red-to-red and green-to-green
all the way from the phone company to the phone,
but you may find reversals when you connect cables
due to the way the plugs, jacks, and wires are configured.
As long as the polarity is correct at the phone,
any polarity swaps in the wiring do not matter at all.
If the phone works, either it is not polarity-sensitive
or the polarity is correct.
If you want to be certain, and it is possible to open the phone case,
you can use a DC voltmeter (set to a range for 50V or more) to
check it inside the phone -- and no matter how illogical it may seem,
green is positive and red is negative.

honestly what difference does the polarity matter? are you using an old rotary phone or something...
modern telecom equipment does not care if the polarity is reversed or not...
tip = green wire, or the white wire with the colored stripe, on the left or top screw terminal..
ring = red wire, or the solid color wire, on the right or bottom screw terminal..
