On Sunday, May 18, 2026, Nigerian relationship commentator Solomon Buchi sparked widespread reactions online after criticising the use of Snapchat by married men questioning their intentions and raising concerns about trust in modern marriages on social media.
Debate erupts over trust and digital boundaries in marriage
He said, “I can never understand why a married man is on Snapchat What are you doing there Whenever I see a married man who uses Snapchat regularly I believe you’re cheating.”
He added that in his view the platform has become associated with secret communication and explicit content sharing arguing that such behaviour raises suspicion in committed relationships.
He referenced growing concerns about disappearing messages and private chats often linked to relationship secrecy on the platform
The statement quickly triggered mixed reactions online with some users agreeing with his concerns.
While others argued that social media platforms cannot determine infidelity without evidence sparking debates about digital boundaries and marital expectations in modern relationships online
“One of the top activities that happens on that app is sending and receiving of nudes. How can you be active on Snapchat as a married person he added”
Critics and supporters cpash over infidelity claims linked to snapchat
Similar debates over Snapchat and relationship trust date back to 2023 when viral discussions in Nigeria linked the app to secret affairs and digital infidelity concerns among couples.
Experts often caution against generalisations noting that while misuse exists social media platforms depend on user behaviour rather than defining morality in relationships.
He stressed not all users misuse the app but perception has become a major global relationship issue today.
