1. You hate your ex

No matter how much you hate your ex, you should never talk down on him in front of your boyfriend. You may think it’s your own way of showing him that you’re a loyal person or whatever, but it might have the opposite effect. You’re giving the impression that you still have strong feelings for your ex. Let your ex be your ex. In other words, whatever happened in the past should remain there. Don’t bring it into your new relationship.

2. His friend is hot

Exactly, that would be really awkward. What’s your concern about his best friend’s look? Babe, mind yourself o. It’s okay to admire and even give compliments to attractive people. But never voice your admiration for your boyfriend’s best friend to his face. It may mean nothing to you but you’re only going to create a growing hatred between your boyfriend and his best friend. He may even think both of you are having an affair.

3. Your closest friend is hot

You may inadvertently put the wrong ideas in his head. It’s either he will request a threesome to “sample” her or he will go right behind your back and cheat on you.

4. You think chivalry is overrated

We’re all for feminism and stuff but every woman is a little girl at heart. We still want to be treated like delicate flowers by our men. If you tell your boyfriend that you’re a “strong woman” who doesn’t need him to open the car door for her or take off his jacket for her during a cold date night, then you’re telling him he shouldn’t bother doing nice things for you. Believe me, you will regret it.

5. You think so and so is good in bed

Ha! That’s a big red flag for him. It’s fine to tell your boyfriend you’ve had sex before. But must you advertise the people you’ve slept with? As much as we agree that freedom of expression should be encouraged and couples shouldn’t hide anything from each other, there are certain things that should never be revealed unless it is necessary. This one ranks high among them. Don’t do it to avoid heartbreak.

6. You’re not a romantic type

Wait, you don’t like breakfast in bed, surprise gifts at work, or surprise dinner at your favorite restaurant? Girl, what kind of planet did you come from? The worst of all, you think Valentine’s Day is the stupidest of all. Babe, I’m looking at you with a 5G camera. Don’t tell your boyfriend that. You will just make him comfortable with being lazy around you.

7. You have secret money stashed somewhere

Even if your father is Aliko Dangote, you shouldn’t flaunt it in front of your boyfriend. It feels good to have a financial cushion that provides comfort especially in trying times. Everyone should save money for emergencies that shouldn’t be revealed to anyone. The essence of having a secret stash is that only you can have access to it. Telling your boyfriend you have an emergency fund is a bad idea. Suddenly, he will remember he needs money to solve a certain need “urgently.”

8. You’re a flirt

We live in a society where double standards reign supreme. A man can flirt with a random woman and dismiss it as nothing to his partner, expecting to be forgiven. But a woman can’t without being labelled a prostitute. Even when she doesn’t know she is flirting, it gives a wrong impression about her. To avoid problems with your boyfriend, please don’t flirt with anyone except him. Even if you feel it’s your right, after all he’s doing it too, please don’t. Relationships also involve compromise. You should apply that to yours.

9. You hate your body

Here’s a fun fact, you will be treated the way you treat yourself. It’s fine to express some insecurity issues about some parts of your body once in a while. Don’t make it a habit. Your self-esteem should never be questioned. Treat yourself like the queen you are and watch your boyfriend treat you like one. But treat yourself as trash and you will be trash to your boyfriend, comprende? Do you want to be treated like a queen or trash? Only you know the answer.

10. His family is trash

His family may probably be rude, uncouth, or just plain terrible towards you. He probably knows that too. But it’s not your place to tell him. If you’re hoping for an engagement ring from him, don’t tell him terrible things about his family. Unless you don’t care about staying in the relationship any longer, don’t divulge the extent to which you loathe his family. If you can’t handle their wahala, then just call it off and leave.

Overall

When you’re in a relationship, you want to open up to your partner about everything under the sun. That’s your own way of showing that you love and trust him which is fine. But don’t divulge everything you think or feel because they may do more harm than good to your relationship. Apply wisdom in everything that comes out of your mouth.
