People Are Furious Over Man’s ‘Possessive’ Relationship Rules

People are furious over one man’s relationship rules, which some onlookers have branded as ‘possessive’. 

In a video on TikTok, one man explained his thoughts on deal-breakers for a potential future girlfriend, including the likes of knowing her location, passwords, guy friends and overseeing her social media. 

The wannabe boyfriend explained that his partner’s location ‘has to be on’, either on Snapchat or Find My iPhone.

“Either or, I’m happy, but you have to have your location on. You don’t got a choice,” the man said in the video. 

The man went on to say how he ‘doesn’t really care’ about having access to his girlfriend’s social media passwords, but he would require the password to his girlfriend’s phone.

“You never know, I might just have to have a look on your phone,” he told followers.

He also wouldn’t allow his girlfriend to have guy friends, adding: “Guy friends? Definitely f***ing not!”

Social media users have since clapped back at the man, explaining that his views are ‘red flags’ for what information he wants his partner to share.

“Red flag,” one social media user simply said. 

Another person wrote: “Possessive.”

Meanwhile, the man replied to them, saying: “You don’t know the half of it.”

Someone else asked: “Is this a joke or?”

“It’s called ‘trust’. When you learn what that is then you can be a boyfriend,” someone else explained to the TikToker.

“Location and passwords are a big no-no, my ex always was suspicious of me yet he’s the one who cheated. Trust is earned not freely given,” a different person explained.

“HELL NAHHHHHHH,” another simply said. 

“You’re too handsome to be this insecure,” another replied.

Coercive control is a criminal offence, and it is a form of domestic violence.
