Couple sparks fierce debate after revealing their VERY unconventional relationship 'rules'

A couple has sparked fierce debate after revealing their very unconventional relationship 'rules.'

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

And, in order to keep their relationship running smoothly, the pair have accumulated a list of rather non-traditional guidelines.

This includes Lexi, who is a graphic designer and social media manager, being able to accept free drinks from other men on nights out and server Jack flirting while on the job to secure higher tips.

Lexi Klimpfinger, from Los Angeles, has been with boyfriend Jack for nearly three years - but have a list of unconventional relationship 'rules'

This includes Lexi, who is a graphic designer and social media manager, being able to accept free drinks from other men on nights out and server Jack flirting while on the job to secure higher tips 

'There was never a clear moment where we decided these rules, they just naturally came up as the relationship went on. We both agreed they felt right for us,' Lexi said 

'None of these rules has ever caused issues between us,' Lexi explained.

'There was never a clear moment where we decided these rules, they just naturally came up as the relationship went on. We both agreed they felt right for us.'

The first premise is that Lexi is allowed to bag free drinks while out.

She said: 'If I am ever at a bar, with or without Jack, we both feel it is no big deal if I accept a drink from another man.

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

'I have never lied or said I did not have a boyfriend but almost always I am not asked.

'I am not lying or deceiving, I am simply accepting a beverage offered to me.

'I can see this being controversial. I know a lot of relationships do not have as strong a trust with each other and could be afraid this would lead to their partner cheating.'

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

Another rule that Lexi and Jack live by includes Jack flirting with women customers to get higher tips – with many of them leaving their numbers behind on the bill.

Jack also regularly messages Lexi's best friend but their trust in each other means it is never an issue.

Lexi explained: 'I can see how this could be controversial because of a lack of trust.

'But I have 100 per cent confidence in my best friend that she would never do anything to hurt me.

'We have been friends for over 10 years and I know her better than anyone.

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

'If you think they would ever do that to you maybe it's a sign to 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 will never find another person attractive when you're seeing someone is ridiculous.

'We have done this since the beginning of our relationship and it has never bothered either of us because we are secure in how attractive we find each other.

'It is not human to say that once you're in a relationship you will never find another attractive. That is simply impossible.

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

'I can see how speaking out loud could make someone feel insecure because they don't look anything 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 unraveled the rules previously in a now viral TikTok clip - but not everyone online was convinced.

One person asked: 'Do you even love each other?'

'Kind of weird to intentionally lead people on for your own financial benefit,' said another critic. 

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

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 is 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 in. And we have such a healthy, open relationship, full of respect for each other'

Weighing in on the online reaction, Lexi stated how not everyone has rushed to support her.

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

'The other half has been people thinking we're crazy and that one of us is bound to cheat on the other.

'Our family and friends are extremely 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 two-and-a-half years in.

'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.'
