Watch: Singapore couple’s balcony fight over colleague calling husband ‘baby’ goes viral

A personal disagreement between a Singaporean couple has turned into one of the most talked-about videos on social media this week, after a heated exchange between the two was caught on camera in a residential area.

The cause of the dispute? A term of affection used by a female colleague, one word that sparked a public argument and sparked widespread discussion online, as reported by the South China Morning Post.Caught on camera: Balcony confrontation goes viralIn the viral video, the wife can be seen standing on the first floor of a housing block, angrily addressing her husband, who is on the ground below. Her voice is loud and firm as she accuses him of betrayal, making no effort to hide the argument from public view.“I want to let everyone hear. You betrayed me,” she yells from above, while the husband repeatedly asks her to keep her voice down.Watch the viral video here:

He tries to justify himself, saying, “She calls everyone in the office baby. Everyone.” But the wife is not convinced. She shoots back, “Are you sure?” – her tone making it clear that she doubts his explanation.“I tell you what to do”: Tensions reach a boiling pointAs the argument continues, the woman firmly asserts control.

“You do not tell me what to do. I tell you what to do,” she says. Moments later, she throws a pillow and a bolster from the balcony, telling her husband, “Go. Get out of my sight. I do not want to see you tonight.”The man, without engaging further, picks up the items and walks away, ending the confrontation on a quieter note than it began.Social media users react to workplace boundariesThe video has been shared widely across social media, with people divided over who was at fault– the colleague for using a personal term, the husband for not setting limits, or the wife for reacting so openly.One user wrote, “What kind of person calls everyone baby? She gave birth to everyone in the office.” Another user pointed out, “Even if she does call everyone baby in the office, it’s his responsibility to have a boundary and tell her not to call him that.”From a viral moment to a broader conversationWhat began as a private disagreement between a couple has now sparked a wider conversation about workplace language, emotional boundaries, and relationship expectations.

Many people found the situation relatable, while others wondered if such personal matters should be shared publicly.

The couple’s identities remain unknown, and no official statement has been made so far. Still, the video keeps spreading, highlighting how quickly private conflicts can become public discussions in today’s world of smartphones and social media.
