Viral trend lets women share frustrations with their partners in a humorous way
On TikTok, a curious trend has caught attention: women using the phrase “I hate my boyfriend” to vent, with a dash of humor, about their partners’ annoying habits. The hashtag #ihatemybf already appears in over 90,000 videos, showing that the theme resonates with many.
In one video that surpassed 581,000 views, creator @anna_del_rey._ describes: “That phase when everything he does gets on your nerves.” In the comments, other women confirm they’ve been through something similar in their own relationships.
“When his touch feels like a snake bite,” one user commented.
“I thought I didn’t like kissing, but maybe I just didn’t like kissing him,” joked another.
“This happens even in the most solid relationships. Sometimes the best thing to do is take a break and stay friends until the feelings return,” suggested a third.
Sharp humor also marks other viral videos. TikToker @aaverythingisawesomee, for example, posted a clip in which she returns a letter of apology from her boyfriend, complete with critical notes. The video has already amassed 12 million views. In the comments, followers mocked: “He only printed this because it was made on ChatGPT,” wrote one. Another added: “Send that straight to the AI detector.”

The trend has even reached beyond personal relationships and into the world of celebrities. A compilation of videos showing Melania Trump in cold or awkward moments with former president Donald Trump went viral under the caption “final boss of #ihatemybf,” racking up over 2.3 million views. Comments went wild: “I know she’s enjoying watching these videos,” said one user. “Trump got elected, but Melania won the meme war,” another posted.

Meanwhile, other quirky trends like “probably just needed a hug, but…” are also gaining traction on the platform, showing how emotional venting is taking over TikTok — always with a good dose of irony.
