A woman explained how this bizarre sounding âorange peel theoryâ works in a video and to be honest, on the surface itâs a little more sweet than sour.
Anna Birmingham described: âWhen your partner does an act of service for you thatâs something that you are perfectly capable of doing on your own.â
She explains this is for âreally small stuffâ like, you guessed it, like âpeeling an orangeâ.

âLetâs say that for whatever reason I hate peeling my oranges, but I really like oranges. I ask my partner âhey babe would you mind peeling this orange for me?â

âAnd they can either respond with âof course love not a problem at allâ. Or they can say âno, you are perfectly capable of peeling that orange yourselfâ.
âOr maybe my partner already knows that I really donât f*ck with citrus and has the orange already peeled and prepared for me.â
Anna claims the response reveals a lot about their âattitude towards you and your relationshipâ.

She urges people to ânever begâ for their partner to be like that because they already should be, and if not, there lies the red flag.
Turns out itâs important to a lot of people too as users commented: âMy love language is orange peel theory.â
Another sweetly said: âThis immediately made me think about how my dad always peels my mumâs oranges without asking because she hates it.â
Others say theyâre âso luckyâ to have a partner who does their versions of âorange peelingâ for them.

And people revealed theyâve ended up divorced because they had to âbegâ their partner to do things. Ouch.
Now the âtheoryâ has become a viral trend on TikTok as users share what their partners do for them.
One baker even shared how their boyfriend gave her a container of eggs with all the whites already separated from the yolks because sheâd been struggling with her long nails. She actually cried over his kind act.
So, this âred flagâ isnât really one to be worried about, itâs more just making sure your partner knows youâre looking out for them.
Go on lads, peel that orange with all your might.
