What is the 'husband test' which is creating a buzz on social media? Know all about this trend 

After the orange peel theory and ketchup challenge, social media is buzzing with the "Husband Test."

A new relationship test is going viral on TikTok; and, per usual, it's prompting passionate reactions and strong judgements in the comments − and experts say that's a problem.

What is the "Husband Test"?

It's about women calling their boyfriends 'husbands' to see their reactions. Many believe that if the boyfriend smiles or reacts positively, it indicates a green flag, while if they correct the girlfriend or react negatively, it raises questions about their loyalty in the relationship.

"If you really think of it based on common sense, like psychological common sense, if I come out of context and say something to you that you didn't expect me to say, you will be startled," says Sara Nasserzadeh, a social psychologist and author.

How did the 'Husband Test' trend start?

The 'Husband Test' trend started when Kenzie Greene posted her video wherein she deliberately called her boyfriend her husband to see his reaction. But this didn't go well with her boyfriend, who responded by saying, “I'm not your husband”. He also immediately switched off the video. Many netizens reacted to this video and jumped to conclusions about Kenzie Greene's boyfriend not wanting a commitment in the relationship. Soon, many people started posting similar videos on TikTok thus giving rise to the 'Husband Test' trend.
