What are the boundaries of infidelity?
Do thirst traps count, and if so, was the relationship doomed to fail from the start if thirst traps, ever popular on the internet today, are a deal breaker?
This is the question TikToker @lyjones0 sparked when she posted a video of herself spying her husband scrolling through thirst-trappy videos on TikTok from her interior second floor balcony.

The video appeared to have been made in good humor, but several viewers immediately jumped to the defense of the man scrolling through videos.

However, a bunch of other TikTokers were weighing in with the opposite advice—dump the man for looking at TikToks of other women.

Facetiously responding to the people who told her to back off her husband and not spy on him from the second story balcony, the original poster dispelled all myths around her relationship with her husband.
"You don't own him," wrote the user. She replied:
"According to the city of Tallahassee, I do own him. A lot of people say that marriage is just a piece of paper. No, it's ownership."

And in a second video, she followed up by throwing a flip flop at his head, which, again, seemed to be in good humor.

The comments were definitely divided.

The couple are still married, and he is consistently appearing in her TikToks, so all seems well on their end.
The question of whether or not he did something wrong by society's standards remains an open one.
