"Girl these are basic healthy relationship rules," one user commented.

"These are very valid and basic rules every relationship should have," another said.

"The thirst trap thing is very true, because anytime a guy w/a gf likes a selfie of me on my Insta story it gives me 2nd hand embarrassment," one person shared.

However, a lot of users circled back the the concept of trust, speculating that the rules meant the couple didn't trust each other.

"It is very weird to have rules in relationships if you trust each other..." one person said.

"'We totally trust each other' – proceeds to list 15 reasons they don’t trust each other," another commented.

"Skipped at location. Are you under house arrest," another joked.

"Sounds more like controlling and avoidant methods, rather than dealing with and communicating each other’s insecurities and working on your own stuff," another stated.
