In a digital age where love languages range from Spotify playlists to shared Google Calendars, one boyfriend has raised the bar with code. Sehaj, an X user, took the internet by storm when she revealed the hilariously wholesome “Grievance Portal” her boyfriend Ishan built just for her. Designed to handle every minor complaint with flair and affection, the portal is peak Gen Z romance—techy, thoughtful, and just a little bit dramatic. Naturally, social media couldn’t get enough of this charming relationship upgrade.

The portal, decked in soft pink hues, greets Sehaj with the cheeky message, “Welcome to your very own Grievance Portal, mouse,” immediately setting the tone for this blend of sass and sweetness. A playful jab follows: “As requested, you can submit your lame, made-up grievances for my viewing pleasure,” turning classic couple bickering into a delightful UX experience. Once logged in, Sehaj fills out a form complete with a mood selector—her pick was the angry emoji—and a severity level that read, “A chunky KitKat would fix this.”

After hitting submit, she’s met with a tongue-in-cheek message assuring her that her grievance has been sent to Ishan, who will “think about it” and respond soon. The thoughtful, lovingly sarcastic tool quickly became a hit online, with users applauding Ishan’s creativity and humour.



Social media reacts
One user questioned the tone of the portal, raising eyebrows at phrases like “lame made-up grievances” and “viewing pleasure.” Another suggested the creator should be hired by the government, proposing that such a system could be put to use for real issues like railway complaints, potholes, and broken streetlights. Someone playfully speculated about the presence of email and password authentication, joking about the possibility of multiple girlfriends. Others appreciated the thoughtfulness behind the project, calling it a unique expression of care, while one likened the relationship dynamic to an HR department at Google.
