Curious minds want to know.
A sneaky boyfriend utilized social media to see if his girlfriend of almost two years would cheat on him – and the outcome was messy.
His shocked girlfriend shared what happened in the r/TwoHotTakes forum on Reddit — because where else would a person go for advice in today’s day and age?
The Gen Zer explained how she randomly received a private message on Instagram from someone who turned out to be one of her boyfriend’s friends, unbeknownst to her at the time.
“At first, it was innocent, he said he saw me at a concert and complimented my outfit. I was polite but short,” she wrote.
She went on to explain, “After a few messages, he got flirty. I didn’t flirt back, but I wasn’t rude either, just ‘haha thanks’ type responses. Then suddenly, my boyfriend confronted me, saying I ‘failed his loyalty test.’ Apparently, he asked his friend to hit on me to ‘see what I’d do.’”
The girlfriend might not have thought she did anything wrong, but her sneaky boyfriend definitely did.
He told her she should have never engaged with the “stranger” and instead block him immediately.
“Now he says if I really loved him, I wouldn’t be so defensive,” the distressed girlfriend wrote.
As you might assume, many of the people in the comments ran to the girlfriend’s defense.
“If someone has to manufacture betrayal to feel secure, they’re not looking for love, they’re looking for control. You didn’t fail the test. The relationship did.”
“If you really loved him? No. If he really loved you, he wouldn’t play such stupid games. Let him know that he failed you by pulling this trick. You don’t need his nonsense.”
“…Even if you had passed his test, he would have tested you again in the future, looking for a new way for you to fail. That kind of insecurity doesn’t go away.”
“If anything, the bf failed by getting his mate to do it in the first place.”
However, to play devil’s advocate, this guy might’ve enlisted help from his buddy, but some women go to the extreme of actually hiring a “honey trap” to catch their boyfriend cheating.
“They slide into my inbox and ask me to flirt with their boyfriend to find out if he’ll cheat,” 29-year-old influencer Lana Madison, who makes a lucrative business doing this, told Jam Press.
“Spoiler alert — a lot of them will. I didn’t plan to become a real-life honey trap. But once a few girls online saw what I look like and what I do for work, they realized that I’m the ultimate temptation.”
Madion sees it as a win-win: she makes some cash and girlfriends find out if their man is loyal or not. “If your man resists my advances, he’s solid — and if not, well, then you’ve got your answer. I’m not out here ruining relationships — I’m just giving women the receipts.”
