Weird Relationship Rules I’ve Never Heard Of
My friend broke up with her long time boyfriend of two years. She felt that the two of them were not heading down the same path in life. She said there had been many things about him that disappointed her but primarily, it was not being proactive enough to getting a job. We were all college students at the time. So one day, she broke up with him much to his and everyone else’s surprise.
A few weeks later, her ex-boyfriend was now with someone else. My friend grew quite angry over the news. When I asked her to explain, she said there was a rule saying that the girl should always be the one to move on first. I had never heard of this “rule” and thought it was silly!! I didn’t understand why she was so angry because she was the one who ended the relationship. She goes on to say that guys and girls have different “rules” in relationships and break-ups and that a guy should “wait” or “mourn” over a lost relationship longer than the girl before getting into a new relationship.
Do you know any other weird relationship rules like this?
