Man Goes Viral After Listing Do’s and Don’ts for His Girlfriend Under His Regime

• A man has gone viral after listing a series of strict rules for his girlfriend under what he called his “regime.”
• The list, which included restrictions like not wearing certain leggings, not dining with other men, and avoiding contact with exes, drew massive backlash online.
• While some defended the post as personal relationship boundaries, others condemned it as controlling and toxic.

A social media user has sparked widespread debate after sharing an extensive list of strict relationship rules he expects his partner to follow.

The post began when a user named Terrance asked, “How strict are you?” prompting another user, Hlovo, to reply with a detailed list titled “Things you won’t do under my regime.”

He wrote:

“You’re not wearing those leggings that go in your a** outdoors.
You’re not having dinners and lunches with other men.
You’re not accepting random gifts, money, food, drinks, or flowers from other men.
You’re not speaking about our relationship to other men.
You’re not sharing every intimate detail about our relationship to your friends.
You’re not going out to clubs every weekend.
You’re not getting lifted off the ground by another man.
You’re not spending the night at any male friend’s place (I don’t care how close you are).
You’re not sending selfies and videos to other men.
No contact with any exes or people from your past.
You’re not taking any clothing items (e.g., shirts and hoodies) from other men.”

He concluded the list by saying, “This is just a tiny fraction of my list.”

The post quickly went viral, drawing strong reactions from social media users. Many criticized the list as “controlling” and “red-flag behavior,” while others argued that it reflected personal boundaries some people might agree to in relationships.
