In a relationship, there are certain unspoken rules that cannot be broken. If your partner does any of the following things, break up with them. I’m not even joking. 

You can’t buy the same gifts for your partner and someone else

This one shouldn’t be an unspoken rule; it’s an outright obvious one. How will you, with your full chest, carry your money to buy someone else the same exact thing you bought for your partner. Don’t you have fear of God?

Some pictures are just for your partner

Some pictures make it to social media, and some pictures just stay in the dms. And I’m not just talking about nudes. There are just some… ahem, pictures that you’ll take, and you know that these ones should be for your partner alone. Dem no dey tell person.

Text your partner every day

I don’t even understand people who don’t talk to their partners every day. As in, you’ll go a whole day without talking to your partner and you’ll still be able to breathe properly? Something fishy going down. Please text them every day, let them not faint.

If your partner says they’re hungry, buy them food 

How will your partner tell you they’re hungry and your response is, “Go and find something to eat na.” What’s that? The moment they say they’re hungry, you should be asking what they want to eat and DMing food vendors. Don’t be wasting time. 

You can’t watch your favourite shows alone 

If your partner ever watches an episode of a show you’re both supposed to be watching together in your absence, break up with them immediately. Because this is a betrayal of the highest order. If they can do this to you, imagine what else they’re capable of..

Don’t be pressing phone when your partner is visiting

Okay, I don’t necessarily mean don’t use your phone at all. But, if you and your partner agreed to spend time together, why are you constantly checking your phone? Give them your undivided time and attention. You can use your phone when you’re by yourself and bored. Speaking of boredom, why should you even be bored? Why are you letting your idle mind become the devil’s workshop?

Be a good hype partner 

Nobody should hype up your partner more than you. If they send you pictures, don’t just simply send emojis or tell them, “Fire.”. Hype them up! Tell them that if they stepped out looking like that, accidents might happen because people would not be able to take their eyes off of them. Tell them that nobody in this world can match up to their beauty even if they tried. Bring the energy please..
