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.
