Couple sparks fierce debate after revealing their VERY unconventional relationship ‘rules’

A couple have sparked heated debate after revealing the ‘rules’ of their very unconventional relationship.

Lexi Klimpfinger, from Los Angeles, has been with boyfriend Jack for almost three years.

And to keep their relationship running smoothly, the couple has put together a list of rather non-traditional guidelines.

This includes Lexi, a graphic designer and social media manager, who can accept free drinks from other men on a night out and server Jack who flirts while at work to get higher tips.

'There was never a clear moment when we set these rules, they just emerged naturally as the relationship progressed.  We both agreed they felt good to us,” Lexi said

“None of these rules have ever caused any problems between us,” Lexi explained.

‘There was never a clear moment where we set these rules, they just emerged naturally as the relationship progressed. We both agreed they felt good for us.”

The first premise is that Lexi can grab free drinks while she’s away.

She said: ‘If I’m ever in a bar, with or without Jack, neither of us will mind if I accept a drink from another man.

‘It is the responsibility of the man who offers to either make his intentions clear or ask if I am in a relationship.

‘I’ve never lied or said I don’t have a boyfriend, but I’m almost always not asked.

‘I don’t lie or cheat, I simply accept a drink offered to me.

‘I see this is controversial. I know that many relationships don’t have such strong trust in each other and I might worry that this would lead to their partner cheating.’

Another rule that Lexi and Jack adhere to is that Jack flirts with female customers to get higher tips, with many of them leaving their number on the bill.

Jack also regularly messages Lexi’s best friend, but their trust in each other means there is never a problem.

Lexi explained: ‘I understand this may be controversial due to a lack of trust.

“But I have 100 percent faith in my best friend that she would never do anything to hurt me.

‘We’ve been friends for over ten years and I know her better than anyone.

‘If someone is concerned about their best friend and boyfriend getting together and cheating, then there is clearly a trust issue.

“If you think they’ll ever do that to you, maybe that’s a sign you’ll get better friends and a better boyfriend.”

The couple, who met in college when they were neighbors, are also open about celebrity crushes.

Lexi explained, “The idea that you’ll never find another person attractive when you’re with someone is ridiculous.

‘We’ve been doing this since the beginning of our relationship and it has never bothered either of us because we are confident in how attractive we find each other.

‘It is not human to say that once you are in a relationship, you will never find someone else attractive again. That is simply impossible.

Lexi shared: 'Our family and friends are extremely supportive and think we have a very open and healthy relationship'

“I understand that speaking out loud can make someone feel insecure because they look nothing like that particular celebrity. And if it makes your partner insecure, then definitely don’t do it.

“But if it doesn’t bother either of you, then it’s all good!”

Lexi previously unraveled the rules in a now-viral TikTok clip – but not everyone online was convinced.

One person asked, “Do you guys even love each other?”

“Kind of weird to be deliberately egging people on for your own financial gain,” said another critic.

“I was with you at first, but it just got worse,” someone else said.

On the other hand, others insisted the rules were fine.

One person commented: ‘These aren’t controversial, this is just a healthy relationship.’

“I honestly think free drinks are valid,” another user agreed.

Lexi added, “I would like to add that my boyfriend and I are so in love, even two and a half years later.  And we have such a healthy, open relationship, full of respect for each other'

In response to the online reactions, Lexi stated that not everyone has rushed to support her.

Lexi said of the ‘split’ online reaction to her post: ‘I would say half of the reactions are very positive, praising us for how healthy and trusting our relationship seems to be.

‘The other half are people who think we’re crazy and that one of us will cheat on the other.

‘Our family and friends are very supportive and think we have a very open and healthy relationship.

“I would like to add that my boyfriend and I are so in love even after two and a half years.

‘And we have such a healthy, open relationship full of respect for each other.’

“He is truly one of a kind and I couldn’t have dreamed of a better relationship.”
