Most relationship advice on the internet falls into one of two traps: it is either so vague it could apply to anyone, or so clinical it sounds like a textbook. We built Relationship Rules to be neither.
Where This Started
In 2012, a simple Facebook page launched with a single idea — that love, heartbreak, and the messy middle of relationships deserved a space for honest conversation. Not glossy. Not preachy. Just real.
That page found its audience faster than anyone expected. Within a few years, it had grown to over 16 million followers — people sharing posts at 2am when they could not sleep, tagging friends going through breakups, and saving quotes that said what they had been unable to say themselves.
The website you are reading now grew out of that community. It is still the same idea: a place where people who are dealing with the real, complicated, sometimes painful work of loving other people can find something useful.
What We Actually Do
Relationship Rules publishes guides, advice, and stories covering love, heartbreak, marriage, friendship, personal growth, and the psychology of how people connect and disconnect.
We cover topics like:
- Why people stay in relationships that are not working — and what finally shifts
- How to rebuild trust after it has been broken
- What research actually says about attraction, attachment, and compatibility
- The patterns that quietly damage relationships before anyone notices
- Moving on, healing, and finding yourself again after loss
We write for people in the middle of something hard, and for people who want to understand their relationships before they get there.
How We Work
Our editorial team draws on psychology research, attachment science, and input from relationship professionals to make sure what we publish is grounded — not just engaging. Every article goes through an internal review before it is published.
We have an Editorial Standards page that explains our research process, review criteria, and corrections policy in full.
