If You Check Your Boyfriend's Location Every Hour, Your Relationship Is Unhealthy

If You Check Your Boyfriend's Location Every Hour, Your Relationship Is Unhealthy

Recently, there has been conversation on the internet about what constitutes a "psycho girlfriend," and to this point, this article was published. In this article, the writer talks about how she's not a "psycho girlfriend," even though she checks her boyfriend's location every hour, and makes him keep his read receipts on at all times.

To any girl doing this, your relationship with your boyfriend is unhealthy.

I'm in a long-term relationship, which at one point, was long distance for a few months. Throughout this entire time, I have never checked my boyfriend's location. I trusted that he was faithful and that he's always telling me the truth. Couples need to trust each other for a relationship to last. Checking in on your boyfriend's location is showing that you don't trust him. Maybe he did something that made you not trust him, but no matter the reason, if you can't trust him then why are you two together?

Wouldn't you rather be with a guy that you don't feel the need to check in on every hour?

People have busy lives. Sometimes I don't respond to texts for several hours because I'm studying, I'm in class or I'm hanging out with friends. Your boyfriend has his own life, so if he doesn't respond in an hour, it doesn't mean he's kidnapped or dead. Give him space. My boyfriend works, and if I text him during the day, I don't assume something is wrong if he doesn't respond within an hour. Understandably, he's busy and has his own life.

If you want your boyfriend to read all your texts, you don't have to force him to keep his read receipts on. If your boyfriend genuinely cares about you, he'll read your messages regardless of whether or not the read receipts are on. Making him keep his read receipts on won't change how he feels about you. By having the read receipts on means that he opened the chat, but that doesn't mean he read everything you sent.

To any girl making her significant other do this, take a step back for a second. Give your man some space and believe that he loves you and wouldn't hurt you. Trust him, and you'll both feel better about your relationship.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
