TikToker @tessdhiggins shared a viral video breaking down why a man's reaction to his girlfriend showing up to a New Year's Eve party after he thought she had to work is so troubling.

We've all experienced that feeling of caring more about someone than they care about us.

But goodness, is it hard to watch other people go through it.


On New Year's Eve, a woman was so excited to surprise her boyfriend—after they both believed she would have to work—that she had someone film her surprising him at their friends' New Year's Eve party. But her boyfriend did not have the reaction she might have expected.

The woman came down the stairs in an adorable and sparkly short purple dress, sparkly feather sash, and her hair done in pretty, natural waves. Her boyfriend was at the bottom of the stairs, holding a beer and talking to friends, looking relaxed.

When she tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to see who it was, his demeanor immediately changed. She started loudly laughing a long, open-mouthed laugh while his face turned bright red, his mouth turned into a wide, nervous-looking smile, and he theatrically turned to scan the room in each direction before turning back to the woman.

But the moment escalated when she stepped off the stairs and leaned toward him to hug him, only for him to push her away by knocking her in the shoulder.

That man looks more than just surprised to see her... who is gonna tell her that he is couch guy 2.0? #couchguy #nye #surprise #newyearseve #newyear #redflag #Relationship #gossipgirl #gossipgirlhere #foryou #tiktokviral #unitedstates #usa #viral #trend #trending #fyp #CapCut

Viewers of the video were left cringing and concerned. It was clear that the guy was not interested in the woman being there, but it was not immediately clear why.

Some were reminded of Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo's book, He's Just Not That Into You, as well as the previously trending "Couch Guy," which featured a woman surprising her boyfriend at his college, only for him to be less than interested in her arrival.

One TikToker in particular argued that he should have at least been excited to see her and found the shove at the end of the video to be alarming.

@tessdhiggins

your partner should be excited to see you! This is a giant red flag! #dating #relationships #couchguy #redflags #breakup

Others went so far as to think that the guy was immediately worried about getting caught doing something he shouldn't do. The most popular guesses were that she was the other woman while his wife was at the party, or when he anticipated her not being there, he'd brought a side piece to the party in her place.

But some went darker with their theories and read into his body language fear instead of angst. The reddening of his face, nervous smile, and looking around, as if for an exit, might also be read as panic, especially if he were suddenly in the presence of a persistent stalker.

Some incorporated the woman's long laugh into their theory, reading it as a confirmation of, "Caught ya!"

No matter what the explanation is for this video, it's clear that the woman did not get the reaction from her man that she was hoping for when she was able to get out of work and attend the party by his side.

If two people were really into each other, the sudden appearance of someone who was supposed to be absent would be a cause for celebration, especially on a night like New Year's Eve when you no longer have to worry about who you'll kiss at midnight.

Trump Mocked For Bizarre Denial After Wall St. Journal Reports On His Creepy Birthday Note To Epstein

President Donald Trump was swiftly mocked after he denied he ever "wrote a picture" after The Wall Street Journal reported on a happy birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing Trump’s signature that included a drawing of a nude woman in sharpie pen.

The letter—reportedly sent by Trump at the request of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who compiled the messages into a leather-bound book for Epstein's 50th birthday—dates back 16 years before Epstein was charged with child sex trafficking by the Justice Department in 2019, during Trump’s presidency.
