Twitter user @courtneylj_ posted the photo, absolutely floored by one husband's kind act to his wife. "This guy stood up the whole 6 hours so his wife could sleep. Now THAT is love," he wrote.
The post immediately went viral with more than 16,000 likes and 3,00 retweets.
Some people were absolutely touched by the husband's clear love for his wife.
"Goals [to be fair]," wrote on person in the comments.
Another person guessed that "It could that his wife was flying to or from treatment. If it was my wife, I would definitely do it."
"That is the ultimate love," a third person chimed in.
Meanwhile, many more people were unimpressed by the 'selfish' wife: 'If that is love then I'd rather be lonely,' one person commented.
Some people pointed out that his wife could have made it comfortable for both of them but failed.
"She could have just rested her head in his lap and take turns sleeping????????" one commenter wrote.
Others claimed they'd never let their partner do something like this for them.
"I'm not letting my husband stand for six hours so I can nap…..let me lay this head in your lap bae," wrote another person.
"He spent all of those six hours planning the divorce," joked someone else.

All that really matters is how the people involved felt about the situation.
See, this is why we can't have nice things! Instead of slamming it, let's just appreciate this man lovingly helping his wife get some sleep.
After all, we don't know these people – or what happened in their lives that might have meant it was especially important for this lady to get some rest. There's no doubt her husband came away feeling good that he was able to do something for someone he loves.
