Tip to finding out if your partner is obsessed with their ex

A TikToker has come up with a photographic trap to test if your partner is still obsessed with their ex – and it’s been labelled “genius” online.

One TikToker has found a “genius” method to detect if your significant other is caught up on an ex and still stalks their social media.

User Daniel Hentschel posted the clip, in which he suggests suspicious partners can lay a photographic trap using one of the ex’s pictures on social media as the bait.

“Find out if your partner is ACTUALLY over their ex,” he captioned the clip, New York Post reported.

Mr Hentschel proposes that people should crop the ex out of the picture, leaving just the background, and then frame it in a conspicuous place in their house.

If the ex reacts to the image as if they are familiar with it, that is clear evidence they have been spending so much time on their ex’s Insta that they’ve subconsciously burned even the backgrounds of the photos into their minds.

In his viral clip, he demonstrates the plan using an Instagram image of Boom Clap singer Charlie XCX, from which he removed the singer.

“[Then] frame it in your house,” Hentschel says in a voiceover. “To everyone else it’ll just look like a normal stupid picture nobody cares about it.”

If your partner seems to be familiar with the pic, he says that’s “odd” and may be cause for concern.

“It means that they’ve been checking their Instagram and they subconsciously remember the background of every picture because they’re in love with them,” he said.

Some declared the trick a “genius” move, saying they’re keen to try it out.

“You need to be working for NASA or something,” one user joked.

“I would actually do this and that’s my issue,” said another.

However, others were doubtful their partner would recognise the new addition to the house decor.

“I don’t know any man this observant. I change my hair colour and months later they’ll ask if I got a haircut,” one person said.
