DADADEL
An Instagram influencer named Mariah Fernando, boasting hundreds of thousands of followers, stirred controversy by sharing a video suggesting a single sentence can signal a partner’s infidelity, as reported by the New York Post. According to the influencer, when uttered by a man confronted about his faithfulness, this common phrase carries ominous implications.
The “test” begins when a woman harbors suspicions and seeks to confront her partner about them. If, during questioning about fidelity, the man responds with “Go ahead and believe what you want,” it’s deemed ominous. According to the Instagram influencer, this concise seven-word reply suggests potential infidelity and indicates he’s been caught.
In a short video clip, the 23-year-old Instagram influencer asserted, “If you’re confronting your man for cheating and he says [that], I hate to break it to you ladies, but that man is guilty. He is guilty.” The video quickly garnered tens of thousands of likes from viewers who resonated with the message, prompting many to voice their agreement in the comments section.

Some viewers resonated with the sentiment, with one commenting, “So true. I remember hearing this. Never let a man turn you into [fictional detective] Sherlock [Holmes]. It’s not worth it.” Another concurred, stating, “I agree because if he was innocent he would be aggressively defending himself,” while a third alleged, “True, they don’t know what to say because they’ve been caught.”
However, divergent opinions emerged on the internet. While some debated whether the statement hinted at a guilty conscience, others were incensed by Mariah Fernando’s sweeping assertion. “It doesn’t mean he’s cheating. It could mean he isn’t going to argue pointlessly with an insecure, childish person,” one rebutted.
One defender justified the statement, having expressed it themselves. “I do this but not because I’m guilty [but because] I don’t have the energy to argue,” they stated. Another urged for evidence before accusing someone of cheating, considering a single remark as proof absurd.
The most plausible counterargument suggested the man’s indifference stemmed from frequent accusations. Some concurred, proposing the phrase indicated a history of baseless accusations.
Some cautioned that employing this tactic, regardless of the presence of infidelity, could swiftly terminate a relationship. “It is what I would say and I’ve never been a cheater,” one commenter stated, offering it as a cautionary tale. “I am innocent unless proven otherwise, and at this point, I would end it because I won’t be with someone who doesn’t trust me.”
Whether allegations of infidelity hold truth or originate from imagination, resorting to such “tests” bodes poorly for the relationship’s future. What’s unequivocally proven by such measures is the absence of trust, crucial for a healthy bond. Without it, a relationship lacks safety, security, and mutual fulfillment.
If doubts about your partner’s fidelity arise, your relationship is already facing issues, irrespective of their response. Trust forms the foundation of any relationship, fostering comfort, security, and stability. Without it, the relationship lacks the vitality needed for a healthy, happy bond—this concern should take precedence when questioning your partner’s faithfulness.
