Complaining, jealousy and high expectations. These are all markers of a bad girlfriend, right? Wrong. If your girlfriend does these four "bad" things, then you may just have an amazing girlfriend.

She complains.

You know you’ve got a good girlfriend if she complains. There are two types of complaining: complaining to you or complaining about you. If your girlfriend complains to you, that’s great! It means she trusts you and talking to you about her problems makes her feel better. It means she’ll also be open to being your shoulder and listening to your problems, which is key in a good relationship. If your girlfriend is complaining about you, that can be good as well. Most people immediately think that having your significant other complain about you is negative, but it isn’t! If your girlfriend complains about you, it just means she knows that you can do better and she’s pushing you to be your absolute best. Her complaining, in either situation, is good for you and your relationship in the long run.

She makes you get off your phone, Xbox, Playstation, etc.

If your girlfriend gets upset and makes you stop playing on your phone or gaming device, then you’ve got a great girlfriend. This can mean several things. One possibility is simply that she misses you and wants your attention to be on her, which makes her a great partner. She may also make you get off of your devices if you have something more important to do. In this situation, she’s simply looking out for you and your best interest, which is also another marker of a good girlfriend.

She expects too much.

If your significant other expects too much, it’s probably just because she’s a good girlfriend. It just means that she knows that you can do better. This can seem very negative, but it’s actually a compliment. If your girlfriend thought you were as good as you were ever going to be, she wouldn’t expect more. But she does, which means she’s helping you grow and better yourself. She sees potential in you that you don’t see in yourself, which is most definitely a sign of a good girlfriend.

She gets super jealous.

Jealousy tends to carry a negative connotation, but it’s actually very endearing. Your girlfriend thinks you’re amazing and really cares about you. She sees all of your amazing attributes and probably thinks it would be easy for other girls to fall for you, too. But since she cares about you, she doesn’t want to loose you. If you’ve got a jealous girlfriend, then you’ve got a great girlfriend that cares about you and your relationship. If your girlfriend wasn’t jealous and didn’t care about losing you to someone else, then you’d have something to worry about. A lack of jealousy can actually be a marker of a bad girlfriend.

If your girlfriend does these four things, then you probably have an amazing "bad" girlfriend.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
