A new viral trend sweeping social media is causing havoc in relationships, as partners secretly test each other's loyalty—often with disastrous results.
What Is the Loyalty Test Trend?
The trend involves one partner creating a fake online profile to flirt with or tempt their significant other, all to see if they remain faithful. While some see it as harmless fun, relationship experts warn it can erode trust and even lead to breakups.
Why Is It Dangerous?
Psychologists say these tests often backfire, creating unnecessary suspicion and insecurity. 'If you feel the need to test your partner, there may already be underlying trust issues,' says Dr. Emily Carter, a relationship therapist.
Real-Life Consequences
Many couples who've tried the trend report fights, accusations, and even separations. 'I thought it was a joke, but my partner took it as betrayal,' one anonymous user shared.
Should You Try It?
Experts unanimously advise against it. Instead, they recommend open communication rather than secret tests. 'Trust is built on honesty, not traps,' Dr. Carter adds.
