16. No Bitching Without Purpose

If you’re having a talk or argument, talk about the problem. Don’t go throwing his hygiene in there, or cussing to make your point, because it won’t work. Have an end that you would like to work towards, and focus on that, or nothing will be solved and you’ve just wasted each other’s time.

13. No Talking About Your Exes

You hate it when he mentions his, so why mention yours? Especially early on. We’ve all done it, and felt guilty after.

Look, no guy wants your baggage, so leave it at the door. At least for a while, anyways.

10. Keep Your Mouth Shut

If he doesn’t want it repeated to the girlfriends, respect him for it. We hear girls complain constantly about boys and their ‘locker’ talk when girls are just as bad. As desperately as you want to report back to the group, if he asks you to keep it on the down low, keep your mouth shut. Same goes for what your girlfriends tell you. It’s not your place to tell the boyfriend all your friends’ dirty little secrets.

On the other hand, if he doesn’t say keep it quiet, it is fair game! However, you might want to make that clear to him.

6. No Stupid Questions

You’ve all done it.

“Am I fat?” “Do you think she’s prettier than me?”

Ok, obviously you’re a bit insecure about it. So why ask? I made the mistake of asking one guy I was dating if he thought I was beautiful. His response? “I like.. parts of you.” Needless to say, the relationship was over a few hours later.

Look, either you’re gorgeous and you know it and you don’t need to hear it but he’ll say it anyways to appease you, he’ll lie, or he’ll be honest and say that yes. Yes those jeans make you look like a hippo stuffed in a tight place.

All guys I know think it’s annoying. They like to be able to just compliment you out of the blue, not have it wrenched out of them whenever you feel like it.

5. No Jealousy Without Cause

Ladies, please. He is allowed to have female friends, just like you can have male friends. Don’t lie. You know when something’s up. If you have total reason to believe he’s into her, or she’s into him, say something, but if you know they’re just friends, don’t be a bitch. Leave him to it. As long as he’s not hiding it, you’ve got nothing to worry about, and you gain mad props for being the chill non-psycho girlfriend. We understand if you’ve been cheated on before, but they’re not all dirt bags.

In addition:

5.1. No controlling

This is under the same category, because this is totally in the same area. The point is, you can’t control who he hangs with. Guys or girls. They need their guys, just like we need our girls. Don’t try to take that away from him unless you haven’t seen him in like a month.

4. No Facebook Relationship Drama

We all know that couple who takes up the entirety of our news feed. And we all hate them. No one wants to be that couple, so we’ve come up with a list of BIG no nos. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • No ‘it’s complicated.’ You’re either in a relationship or you’re not. Deal with it.
  • No loving / heart broken lyrics to express how you feel. More than half the people on your friends list DON’T CARE. If you need to talk about it, talk to your closest girlfriends. Don’t share it with the entire internet. You’re just pissing everybody off. Honestly, no lyrics in general.. They annoy us.
  • No heartbroken messages. We get it. You broke up, it’s sad. But you’re making the rest of us feel bad for enjoying life!
  • No “I <3 u” “I love you” “I luv you” or any other variation of it. Anything you wouldn’t say to / infront of everybody on your friends list, don’t post as your status. No one need to know how ‘in love’ you are.
  • Finally, constant relationship status changes. “Jane is single” “Jane is in a relationship.” “Jane is single” “Jane is in a complicated relationship” Jane. STFU.

Got more to add? We’d love to hear about it!
