I’m a relationship expert – here’s why I expect my wife to block other men online no questions asked
A tough relationship coach has stated that women should immediately block anyone online if their partner asks them to, no questions asked.
Jake Maddock sparked heated debate with his new rule, claiming that women who “value a relationship” would immediately block anyone.
“If she gets a message from a guy you don’t like, say, ‘Block that guy for me,’” Jake advises in a video.
“Your ideal partner will do it right away,” Jake added.
The controversial dating expert claims he has cracked the code to finding and building a ‘perfect’ relationship after struggling for years.
According to the love coach, the ‘one sentence’ should always work immediately, without excuses.
And it worked for him with his ideal partner, now his wife, when they first started dating.
“The first few weeks I was dating my wife, she got a message from a friend. I asked her to block him and she did. One sentence, no discussion, great,” he said.

‘That’s how it should be. You should happily block someone from your partner if it makes him or her happy.’
A few people agreed with Jake’s philosophy but resisted it, saying that couples should have the conversation about boundaries and insecurities with each other.
‘[Blocking someone] should definitely happen if there is a chance of romantic interest. But if it’s an old friend with no romantic ideas or history, you can hang out with him as a couple, add him to the friend group for both of you. Should be a conversation,’ someone said.
Another added: ‘I absolutely don’t think it should be an argument or a competition, and we should be willing to do these kinds of things for our partners, but not asking questions? That’s a red flag and seems controlling.’
“Manipulation can occur even if the person does not have pure motives when he or she makes the demand,” they said.
A third wrote: ‘It’s important to talk about it because jealousy is still a potential issue in that situation. Sometimes a partner asking you to block or unfollow someone is an opportunity to discuss boundaries, needs, and even insecurities.
“It doesn’t mean the person has to be insecure to ask you to block someone, but it may mean there’s more that needs to be talked about to keep the relationship healthy. It shouldn’t be an argument, but it should be a discussion.”
Others criticized the relationship coach for his “backward” advice.
“Control, that’s a warning signal,” someone said.
“You mean isolate your partner from her friends? Maybe you should go to therapy instead! Advice to her: RUN!” wrote another.
“The uncertainty is excessive,” one woman added.
The controversial dating coach previously stated that men should pay for and plan all dates themselves, and that couples should have sex at least three times a week.
He also believes that ideal partners should “never argue,” spend as much time together as possible, and go on dates every week.
