TikTok’s ‘husband’ test trend, where women playfully refer to boyfriends as husbands is currently going viral. Here’s why netizens are not onboard the new trend.
Decoding The Viral Husband Test
Relationship tests have taken over social media, and of course, a new fad is currently going viral. Deemed as the ‘husband’ test, this one has a lot of guys being deemed as ‘red flags’ right off the bat. Here’s what the ruckus is all about.
Going viral on TikTok, the ‘husband’ test is garnering massive attention. In this trend, women film themselves referring to their boyfriends as husbands to observe their partners’ reactions. If the boyfriend corrects them, it suggests a lack of genuine affection, while playing along is seen as a sign of true love.
Simple enough, right? Well, the internet does not think so
Netizens debate the viral husband test
Several women were taken aback when their partners corrected them on camera. While a certain section of the internet deemed this clarification ‘a big red flag’, others were confused as to what the big deal was.
Several netizens have cautioned people from drawing conclusions from these videos. They argue that such challenges lack the necessary context to assess the dynamics of relationships accurately. Tagging someone as a ‘bad boyfriend’ seems a little cruel when you don’t even know the psyche of the person when they ‘failed’ the test.
It is is being debated that a partner’s reluctance to be labeled as a husband does not necessarily indicate a lack of commitment or affection. In fact, some are even averse to conducting these relationships tests in the first place, claiming that seeking validation of your love is certainly not healthy.
The ‘husband’ test is just one example of a broader trend of love tests on TikTok, including challenges like the orange peel and bird tests. Now and then, these tests take over the internet and aim to gauge partners’ reactions in different scenarios but may completely be off about complex relationship dynamics.
Overall, while these challenges may be entertaining, they should not be taken as reliable indicators of the health or authenticity of a relationship. What are your thoughts on this new love test? Let us know
