His shocked girlfriend shared what happened in the r\/TwoHotTakes forum<\/a> on Reddit \u2014 because where else would a person go for advice in today\u2019s day and age?<\/p>\n The Gen Zer explained how she randomly received a private message on Instagram from someone who turned out to be one of her boyfriend\u2019s friends, unbeknownst to her at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cAt first, it was innocent, he said he saw me at a concert and complimented my outfit. I was polite but short,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n She went on to explain, \u201cAfter a few messages, he got flirty. I didn\u2019t flirt back, but I wasn\u2019t rude either, just \u2018haha thanks\u2019 type responses. Then suddenly, my boyfriend confronted me, saying I \u2018failed his loyalty test<\/a>.\u2019 Apparently, he asked his friend to hit on me to \u2018see what I\u2019d do.’\u201d<\/p>\n The girlfriend might not have thought she did anything wrong, but her sneaky boyfriend definitely did.<\/p>\n He told her she should have never engaged with the \u201cstranger\u201d and instead block him immediately. <\/p>\n \u201cNow he says if I really loved him, I wouldn\u2019t be so defensive,\u201d the distressed girlfriend wrote.<\/p>\n As you might assume, many of the people in the comments ran to the girlfriend\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n \u201cIf someone has to manufacture betrayal to feel secure, they\u2019re not looking for love, they\u2019re looking for control. You didn\u2019t fail the test. The relationship did.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf you really loved him? No. If he really loved you, he wouldn\u2019t play such stupid games. Let him know that he failed you by pulling this trick. You don\u2019t need his nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026Even 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\u2019t go away.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf anything, the bf failed by getting his mate to do it in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n However, to play devil\u2019s advocate, this guy might\u2019ve enlisted help from his buddy, but some women go to the extreme of actually hiring a \u201choney trap\u201d to catch their boyfriend cheating<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThey slide into my inbox and ask me to flirt with their boyfriend to find out if he\u2019ll cheat,\u201d 29-year-old influencer Lana Madison, who makes a lucrative business doing this, told Jam Press.<\/p>\n \u201cSpoiler alert \u2014 a lot of them will. I didn\u2019t 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\u2019m the ultimate temptation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Madion sees it as a win-win: she makes some cash and girlfriends find out if their man is loyal or not. \u201cIf your man resists my advances, he\u2019s solid \u2014 and if not, well, then you\u2019ve got your answer. I\u2019m not out here ruining relationships \u2014 I\u2019m just giving women the receipts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Curious minds want to know.
