A woman has divided the internet after sharing the five strict rules she has for her boyfriend.

Content creator Taylor Donoghue (@taylordonoghuee) took to TikTok last year to reveal the 'five things I'd never allow my BF to do'.

In the caption to her viral video, she acknowledges that it may be a 'hot take' but that it is 'just my opinion' at the end of the day.

But the 24-year-old from New York received a bit of backlash after opening up about the various red flags that could come up.

Best friends

The first no-no for Taylor is having a girl best friend.

She told her 380k followers: “Because I don’t believe in them. I think those get messy.”

While she did say that it's okay to have acquaintances and friends, but a girl best friend is absolutely off the table.

Notifications

Next up, she highlighted that it is key that her and her partner have their locations switched on for each other, mostly for 'safety'.

The 24-year-old clarified: “Am I stalking every hour? No, but I feel like it’s just one of those things that when you care about someone, you’ll tell them their whereabouts.”

Taylor also calls it a red flag if your partner doesn't want you to know where they are.

Strip clubs

Third of all, she says that her boyfriend is not allowed to go to the strip club, even though some couples 'go together'.

Advert

She states: "You can go to bars. You can have a guys’ day, but strip clubs? Absolutely not."

Paying your way

Taylor then said that she wouldn't let her boyfriend pay all the bills, saying it is 'wrong' for men to pay for '100 percent of everything'.

She clarifies that she's talking about dating and not marriage though, explaining: “Especially early on, the guy should take on majority of the bills but I’d be lying if I said, like, I didn’t pay for a dime.”

Instagram pictures

Finally, she says that her partner cannot like bikini pictures of other girls on Instagram, labelling it 'a huge red flag for obvious reasons'.

Advert

She says there's a lot more awareness around the problem, but concluded: “It always makes me sad when I see someone that’s married with kids or just in a relationship and they’re liking girls’ photos, especially provocative ones.”

Viewers in the comments were divided on her 'rules', with one user commenting: "But when guys say this we are insecure."

However, one user commented: "HEAVY on the strip club one!!!!"

A third said: "OK so true I don't understand how people's boyfriends are paying for everything like where is that money coming from!??"

Her boyfriend has since made a video of his rules for her, which include not flirting with guys at the bar, not liking other guys' Instagram pictures, making sure she texts him while she's out and not getting lip filler.

Advert

Guess it goes both ways.
