Here's five things girlfriends do that are loser behavior. I've been with my wife for over 13 years. We have a great relationship, so I definitely have some authority on this. And I already made the boyfriend version, so this feels only right. And I already know though, one of you is going to have an argument with one of these. The first one is having a work husband. Not only is this weird and cringe, but if you're in a relationship, you don't need to pretend husband at work, and you definitely shouldn't be telling everybody about it at work and your friends and your significant other. The second one is taking him away from friends. I think this is the worst one and every guy knows someone like this. They get into a relationship and then suddenly they never see their friends again. The next one is making him unfollow girls he knows. Now, I stand by my last video, it's loser behavior for guys to follow all these girls on TikTok and Instagram that they don't know and comment and like and do all those things. I think that's totally wrong. But if he's following his family members, friends from high school, things like that and he's not being weird about it, it's fine. The next one is testing instead of just telling. Like doing some elaborate scenario to see how he reacts, having a friend DM him, anything weird like that. If she's creating a side quest to prove if her boyfriend is trustworthy, there's bigger problems. And the last one is comparing their relationship to a social media couple. Like you're not going to get everything in that 30 second video. Yes, they look great right here, but they're only showing you what they want to show. Do you agree? What did I miss? I feel like people are going to have stronger opinions on this video versus the boyfriend one. So let me know what I did wrong and let me know what you would add.
