One woman is asking the internet if she’s the “toxic” one in the relationship after finding something suspicious in her husband’s work truck. Ally (@allymtz326) shared a TikTok of her discovering a pink Stanley cup inside her husband’s Chevy–and the consensus is that she should start a fight.
‘Am I being tóxica?’
Ally’s clip begins with her filming the inside of her husband’s work truck.
“I came to my husband’s work truck, which I never set foot in, because I was looking for something,” Ally says. Then she zooms in on a pink Stanley tumbler tucked in the passenger-side door. “And there’s a pink cup?”
“Hmm, am I being tóxica or should I start a fight?” Ally asks. As the name implies, “tóxica” is a Spanish slang term that refers to exhibiting harmful or toxic behaviors in a romantic relationship, such as jealousy or possessiveness.
Ally writes in the caption that the cup is not hers, which begs the question: whose is it?
People think she should definitely start a fight
Ally’s clip earned over 800,000 views as of Friday, with the majority of her comments siding with her. Several urged her to start a fight with her husband, or at least to confront him. Others shared their own experiences with discovering suspicious items inside their partners’ cars.
“GIRLLLLLL that’s how I found out my husband of 23yrs was cheating,” a top comment read. “Always the work truck.” Another wrote, “Passenger side girl you are not overthinking.”
Many commented that Ally was for sure being cheated on, with one user advising her to go detective mode before confronting her husband.
“Keep the cup! Check credit card statements and bank statements for this said purchase before you confront,” they said. “Withdraw all shared funds, then we showing up to job site to find out who the cup belongs to.”
But are the viewers overthinking Ally’s situation? Some certainly think so, and one user provided a possible explanation for the pink Stanley cup.
“I’m blue collar and sometimes our wife’s gives us their cups or Tupperware for our lunches so one of the guys may have used their wife’s cup,” one wrote.
And it seems he wasn’t far off track.
‘It’s Matthew’s’
In a follow-up post, Ally films herself confronting her husband about said cup. He casually sits on a gaming chair, his arms crossed as Ally asks, “So whose is it?”
“It’s Matthew’s,” he tells her.
“Why does Matthew have a pink cup?” she replies. According to her husband, that’s what Matthew’s girlfriend gave him.
Ally isn’t buying it, so her husband ends up calling Matthew to confirm. Ally tells him not to manipulate Matthew into confirming his alibi, so all the husband asks Matthew is whether he left anything in his truck.
Matthew confirms that he left his Stanley cup inside the Chevy. After being asked what color, he appears to ask his girlfriend, who was on the call with him, whether it was pink. She says yes.
At last, Ally’s husband is free from her interrogation and the video comes to a close.
What is it about cars being the ultimate test in a relationship?
This isn’t the first time a woman has gone viral for finding something out of place in their partner’s car. The Mary Sue recently covered a story where a woman found a single earring inside her boyfriend’s car. Once again, her viewers thought her man was cheating. While she never made an update video about it, another woman who found a Louis Vuitton purse under her boyfriend’s driver’s seat said it indeed belonged to another woman. She ended up breaking up with him.
When you can’t be with your partner 24/7, it makes sense that you’ll look for evidence of infidelity in the place he frequents most. For many, that is their cars. While Ally did not give any indication she had reason to suspect her husband, that doesn’t mean cheating isn’t as prevalent as ever. Infidelity occurs in 20% to 25% of marital relationships, per Psychology Today. Perhaps Ally was just making sure her relationship was not part of those statistics.
