A woman’s TikTok video outlining the ‘rules’ she sets for her boyfriend has gone viral, sparking a mix of reactions among viewers.

@taylordonoghuee, with over 342k followers, shared a video detailing five key restrictions she imposes on her partner. The video garnered over 786k views, drawing attention to Taylor’s relationship expectations.

Firstly, Taylor asserts that her boyfriend cannot have a female best friend, deeming it a potential source of complications. She elaborates, “Because I don’t believe in them. I think those get messy.” While acknowledging the importance of friendships, she draws the line at a female best friend.

Secondly, she emphasises the importance of sharing locations for safety reasons, considering it a red flag if her partner opts to keep their whereabouts private. Taylor underscores, “When you care about someone, you’ll tell them their whereabouts.”

Thirdly, she forbids her boyfriend from attending strip clubs, a stance she acknowledges differs from other couples. She states firmly, “Absolutely not.”

Fourthly, she rejects the idea of her partner solely bearing financial responsibilities, asserting that both parties should contribute. Taylor clarifies, “Especially early on, the guy should take on the majority of the bills but I’d be lying if I said, like, I didn’t pay for a dime.”

Lastly, she addresses social media behaviour, prohibiting her partner from liking bikini pictures of other girls on Instagram. She considers it a ‘huge red flag’ and emphasises the need for awareness around such behaviour.

Comments on the video reflected a range of opinions, with some users questioning the need for such stringent rules, while others expressed support. The discourse highlighted differing perspectives on relationship dynamics and boundaries.

In response to Taylor’s video, her boyfriend shared his own set of rules for her, underscoring the importance of reciprocity and mutual respect in relationships.
