What Is Considered Too “Friendly” When You Are In A Relationship?
Being friendly while in a relationship
Being too friendly is just another way of saying flirting. It’s being too friendly is being overly nice to someone other than who you are in a relationship with. It goes from being friendly to crossing lines. When we are in relationships we still exist in the world to other people that we knew before the relationship. We will also meet new people throughout life. Being too friendly needs causes so many problems of relationships can even be the cause of a breakup.
Ways to be too friendly
1. Embracing another woman or man too long with a greeting or goodbye hug. In some cultures, you are kissed on both sides of the cheeks when greeted. Some people kiss one side of someone’s cheek. These “friendly” kisses are considered too friendly when they take longer than 1 or 2 seconds.
2. That social media is something else! People can post pictures and videos of themselves online for people to like and comment on. The problem is, our social media accounts are being closely monitored by lovers with or without our knowledge. With that said, they know about pretty much every single post, comment, like, share, etc. that we did. When you like a handsome man’s picture and your man see’s this, it can make him feel some type of way. You need to protect yourself from any mental anguish.
3. Long conversating. “Hey, how are you doing?” is okay and if you have to communicate with them for work duties fine. There doesn’t need to be a long conversation. If they do conduct a conversation, what is the conversation about? The context of the conversation says everything.
Were they talking about how they are doing in life? Or are they talking about how nice she looks in that dress she has on?… Anything more than asking someone how they are doing that is being too friendly. This can make your partner jealous. Our partners should never feel jealous of anyone because of our behavior.
4. Keep looking at each other. When you are in a relationship, you should not continue to catch eye contact with someone else. It’s not that hard to look somewhere else.
Why are you even looking at them so many times? There are also certain kinds of looks. Looks say things without people having to open their mouths. Looking at someone a certain way can let a person know you like them or you want them. This is an unhealthy relationship behavior.
5. Being playful toward each other. They might not be in the conversation by themselves but every time this person says something you are laughing at everything they say. Everything they say is so interesting. This person has your undivided attention.
6. Offering them something to drink or eat. They can fix their own food! It really depends on the situation though.
7. Staying in contact with exes. Why is contact with an ex needed at all? That situation should be dead. If they are an ex, let them be an EX! That means they should be cut off unless kids are involved. Some people think they should be able to stay friends with their exes. I don’t think so. Ex means they should be EXITING your life for good.
There is a fine line between being friendly and too friendly (aka flirting). You can tell a lot just from someone’s body language. Being too friendly while in a relationship is very disrespectful to the person you are with. It could jeopardize the relationship. There is this little thing called respect.
We are supposed to learn as kids to do unto others as you would have them do to you. How would you feel about your partner being too friendly? People forget about this when they are doing something they are not supposed to. Being too often friendly leads to other things. People must know how to behave towards other people while in a relationship.
There should be mental boundaries for yourself that you know not to cross when in a relationship. There should be boundaries put in place for other people who may not have known you are in a relationship, so it may take them being reminded so they won’t continue being “too friendly”.
This will give the person you are being too friendly with the wrong impression. This will also give the person you are in a relationship with the wrong impression. As humans, we have feelings. This is natural to feel upset if the person we love is partaking in being disrespectful.
Be sure you are not being over jealous just because your partner said hello to someone. They might bump into someone they went to high school or college with that they never dated but just new them from being in their class. We all should be able to be polite to people. It’s all about respecting your partner.
We can still exist in the world even if you are in a relationship. There needs to be a strong foundation of trust built in a relationship. If you want to have a happy and healthy relationship, you will act accordingly. Questionable behavior is never okay. Watch out for people who know you are happy. Some people will try to make your life miserable because their life is miserable.
If you ever find that you are going through this with your partner, the best thing to do is communicate your feelings. Be very thorough about what they did that you felt was too friendly. Hopefully, (if you are with someone who loves you) they will apologize because they realize they made a mistake and never do it again. What if they do it again? Repeatedly?
That’s when you might start looking into other options for yourself such as a breakup. You should be with someone who really loves and respects you. Never feel like you have to settle for less. Your partner should be a source of reducing stress in your life and not be the cause of more of it.
