Spot the difference! College student calls out her boyfriend for acting so affectionate in private while being cool and aloof on social media - prompting dozens of others to do the same
- Olivia O'Leary from British Columbia, Canada, said her boyfriend Cam is 'so affectionate and sappy 90% of the time'
- But his Instagram captions about her are less sweet
- The 20-year-old joked about how different he is behind closed doors and her tweet went viral
- Other women chimed in with similar comments, showing sweet texts from their boyfriends and less-than-affectionate Instagram captions
A Canadian college student has gone viral for her very relatable tweet about the two sides of her boyfriend.
Olivia O'Leary, 20, told BuzzFeed that her boyfriend Cam is 'so affectionate and sappy 90% of the time' — but looking at his Instagram captions, you might not think so.
She found the contrast between his romantic side and his public personal so funny that she wrote about it in an emoji-packed tweet — and inspired dozens of other women to share similar stories.
Relatable: Olivia O'Leary from British Columbia, Canada, said her boyfriend Cam is 'so affectionate and sappy 90% of the time' and shared this funny tweet about it
Evidence: She posted a text message screenshot and an Instagram post to prove her point
'I just find it funny how the minute the bedroom door close’s my bf is like "baby let’s get the cuddles GOING!!! Chugga Chugga CHOO CHOO cuddle train coming round, next stop cutie PIE village population YOU" but his insta captions r like “me and b****,"' she tweeted last week.
It's not that Cam is sweet behind closed doors but mean in public — in fact, Olivia exaggerated a bit for the tweet to make her point. Rather, he just tends to tone down his cutesy, affectionate language and be more 'bland' and 'vague' on social media.
Olivia, who goes to school in Victoria, British Columbia, illustrated with another tweet.
First, it included a screengrab of some recent text messages from Cam, which included, 'Falling more in love with u today than the last as always [heart] you are the love of my life.'
But captioning a recent photo of her on Instagram, he wrote: 'Hiking w/ my broski.'

Meanwhile, those same men caption Instagram photos of them with words like 'goth b****' and 'bum a***.'
The whole thing seemed to be taken in good humor, though, with men and women laughing over the posts.
