If you haven't seen the trend going around on social media, women have been getting into the habit of putting their significant others through "relationship tests."

These "tests" usually involve ridiculous or arbitrary situations that are then captured on video and posted to sites like TikTok or Instagram. These tests include things like the "orange peel" test, where a woman will ask her beau if he can peel an orange for her. The test is supposed to indicate the health of a relationship through the man either refusing or accepting the task of peeling an orange for their lady. //

Moreover, this isn't just about a test. What this ends up is a forced subjugation of your boyfriend or husband's worth as a partner to the whims of the public. You're allowing others to tell him whether he is or isn't worth anything in place of you, his partner, //

Ultimately, however, this is more of a reflection of the person conducting the test as it shows their desire for attention, their willingness to betray their partner's privacy, and the invitation of the public into one's relationship without the knowledge of another. None of these things reflect well on the woman administering the test.

Let's hit the bottom line here, though.

At no point should anyone on the internet be allowed to pass judgment on the success or failure of a couple's marriage or relationship. The internet does not have everyone else's best interests in mind as a general rule, and most of what happens on the internet is ultimately self-serving.
