40+ Pics That Hilariously Show the True Struggles of Being an Instagram Husband

Different Perspective

Finding the right angle is another factor that’s important when it comes to getting the perfect photo for Instagram. This may mean thinking outside the box and really being creative regarding where the camera should be situated when taking a photo.

Different Perspective

Now, being in it for love is one thing but putting your life in danger is quite another. This guy has got to get a lot of points for doing this!

Hands Up

It’s always fun to have clever images to share with your Instagram following. Sometimes, it takes a little bit of planning, which means that the person with you may have to do a little heavy lifting.

Hands Up

Though this is an amazing shot, we’re sure it also sucks that this poor guy had to hold his breath for so long. At least people aren’t as heavy in the water, so there’s always that.

Hold My Hand

It’s always nice to get those epic and romantic shots, like a couple walking towards the ocean. This woman is just trying to make it look like they’re having a wonderful time on their vacation at the beach.

Hold My Hand

Maybe this is the only time they get to hold hands and he’s just happy that it happened. On the flip side, if that’s the case, then maybe they shouldn’t be trying to post these romantic images.

Floating By

Having epic adventures when it comes to travel is one of those rare moments of enjoyment. Since the invention of Instagram, though, it’s not as spontaneous as one might think.

Floating By

This guy had a unique opportunity and had to take it. Though it looks dangerous, at least if he falls, he’s falling into the water and can’t hurt himself too badly.

Overhead Shot

Overhead shots are usually thought of more for food, but they can be really beneficial if you’re trying to take a shot of a large group of people. Unfortunately, when you’re the husband and trying to post on Instagram, you may be out in the cold when it comes to the celebrations.

Overhead Shot

This guy doesn’t look like he’ll get to cheers in this situation and that kind of sucks. Also, he seems to be in a precarious situation. There’ll be a huge mess and bad stuff if he makes a wrong move.

No Fun

When you’re traveling and doing fun excursions as a couple, it makes sense for the guy to think he’s going to be involved in this situation. But it may not always be the case when you’re getting an image for Instagram because somebody has to take the picture.

No Fun

This poor guy probably had dreams of sitting and driving in one of those cars forever. Instead, he was stuck clicking the button on a cell phone to ensure his wife got the image for her Instagram.

Up Here

When you’re out at the beach, you want to ensure that everybody knows you’re having a good time. This is especially important if you’re someone who’s looking to become an influencer.

Up Here

But sometimes, as an Instagram husband, you’re just not tall enough to get the right viewpoint. We assume this other guy came with the group; otherwise, this could be a really awkward situation.

Too Much?

When you’re the significant other who loves to post on Instagram, you wind up sometimes being in front of the camera. But they want the image to remain the way they think everybody wants it to be, so that might lead to some time flexing.

Too Much?

This poor guy had to keep sucking in his gut for two hours, and that’s just not right. We’re sure it felt great when he was finally able to exhale!

Hold On

Everybody knows the best shot is always from above when you do a layout for food. But because there are so many things in the way, it’s always challenging when you try to do this alone. This might be a good reason to find yourself a significant other.

Hold On

That’s what this woman must’ve thought of when she finally found someone willing to help her out. It seems like he’s taking it all in stride, though. At least he’s enjoying himself!

Here I Come

Sometimes, finding locations where you can do magnificent photo shoots and do it for free is a must when looking for the perfect Instagram post. This woman seemed to think a Christmas tree sale was a perfect place, and she probably was right.

Here I Come

We kind of feel sorry for him when he’s the one who’s asked to deal with it after all; it’s not his Instagram feed. He must’ve been very embarrassed.

Photoshoot?!

You see the perfect location for a photo shoot as you drive by. No matter how much the husband says he doesn’t want to do it, he knows he will have to stop the car. Unfortunately, this time, there were other people involved.

Photoshoot?!

We wouldn’t have helped her set up a tripod because we wouldn’t be there if snakes were involved. The fact that she wasn’t worried about it just goes to show how fearless you can be when you’re looking for that perfect Instagram photo opportunity.

Too Many Plants

Sometimes, when you’re looking to fill your Instagram feed, you wind up with an aesthetic that has you standing in front of the same thing over and over again. So this woman was just trying to be a little inventive and promised her husband they would get a little nature in their life.

Too Many Plants

That said, it had to be hard to figure out where to put all those plants. But she looks happy, and we all know that every husband’s life is a lot easier when the wife is happy.

More Than Me

Having pets when you’re on Instagram can make your followers blow up. Finding just the perfect dog for you and your family should be a family deal that has to do more with emotions. But this time, she chose to go with choosing pets according to the aesthetic.

More Than Me

We’re not sure that if we were this husband, we’d agree to allow our wife to get two dogs that were intended to match her outfit and the room. One might’ve been enough!

Eat This

A lot of the time when single women go out on dates, they tend to try to document it on Instagram. This is a great way to give their followers insight into their lives and show some pretty exciting moments.

Eat This

For this woman, it appears she decided she would go with a third person to ensure she got all the right pictures to show just how great her date was.

Perfect Shot

Sometimes, you want to do fun things when you’re a couple, which might mean getting a little creative about poses. Typically, the wife gives you some sort of notice before she begins jumping on you like this.

Perfect Shot

Though this looks like it was a lot of fun, it was probably a little unsettling and uncomfortable. We just hope this poor guy didn’t have to hold that pose for too long!

In the Corner

As an Instagram husband, sometimes it’s your job to just be invisible. Sure, you might wind up behind the camera, but sometimes your partner just want a nice selfie, and you can’t be in the way.

In the Corner

This often means you’ll wind up like this poor guy. We know this is a cool place, but it’s kind of messed up that he was shoved in the corner and not included in the photoshoot.

Right There

Many Instagrammers like to travel around their areas, meaning they go to the same place multiple times. In order to make sure their images are fresh, they tend to go at different times of the year.

Right There

No matter what time of year, the husband is always dragged along with them, giving them plenty of memories. We’re sure this guy is really tired of going to this giant piece of wood!

Whip Your Hair

Sometimes, you want to imitate the images you see on TV and in advertisements. Having a beautiful backdrop like this woman did, we can understand why she wanted to do a little bit of a hair flip.

Whip Your Hair

However, her picture probably took multiple takes and left the husband standing there, just watching her. He was probably worried that perhaps one time, she’d whip her head a little too hard and wind up heading over the edge and into the water.

A Natural Face

There are some Instagram wives that decide they want their husbands involved in everything they do. This means they wind up taking images their husbands may not be the happiest to take.

A Natural Face

Most of the time, you try to make a good face, at least. This guy, though, has a face that says it all. We’re sure that all the Instagram husbands can relate to this.

I Need Them

Food is always a big thing online; if you tie that in with a beautiful woman, it’s more likely to get likes and follows. But to make the perfect spread for a picture like this, you must have some assistance.

I Need Them

We’re sure that when this husband was asked this particular favor, he wasn’t shocked by the words that came out of his wife’s mouth. However, he probably felt silly when he carried out 75 cheeseburgers all by himself.

Too Scary

When traveling, the perfect place to take images is before any type of mural or graffiti. This not only gives one an edgy look but it’s also enticing for people to look at. After all, who doesn’t like a good piece of art?

Too Scary

This guy was probably pretty frightened when he saw his wife run towards this mural. After all, he knew what that meant: standing in the heat in front of this very creepy mural for several minutes.

Act Casual

Many Instagrammers trying to share their day with people want to go for a more casual and natural look. However, most of those amazing pictures you see aren’t just randomly taken.

Act Casual

This guy knows all about it, and we feel kind of sorry for him that he spent so much time just standing there with a stack of clothes. Maybe next time, there should be a little more planning to get that “natural shot.”

Just Woke Up

It’s hard to be normal and natural first thing in the morning. Wanting to get that perfect light and that perfect shot of what you’re eating or doing, right out of bed, can be vitally important for somebody doing a vlog-style feed.

Just Woke Up

But when the husband is the one that has to do everything and the wife just slips into the bed, that says something about the relationship. We think that maybe this couple needs to work on some boundaries.

Multiple Angles

If you’re really good on Instagram, you know that having images from multiple angles is always a good idea. It’s always easiest to do this when you have more than one cameraman hanging around.

Multiple Angles

That might mean you don’t only have to enlist your husband, but maybe also a friend of yours, to hold a camera and click while you strike a pose. We kind of feel sorry for these guys, it doesn’t look like they’re enjoying their day at the pool at all.

Hold My Purse

It’s just naturally true that a lot of women like to carry their bags with them. Of course, some don’t use purses, but most do, and when you’re an Instagram husband, you’ll wind up wearing said purse.

Hold My Purse

This poor guy, though, didn’t think about that and wound up wearing the wrong thing. That purse doesn’t go with that outfit!

Your Turn

Sometimes, Instagrammers focus on their husbands instead of focusing on themselves. By showing images of them doing fun things and occasionally shots of him alone, this Instagram woman is just trying to increase her followers.

Your Turn

But that means the husband has got to be game for just about anything. We give this guy credit as he seems to be all in, and we’re sure it’s simply just because he wants to make his wife happy.

Cameraman

The most important tool to have when you are trying to build your Instagram is a camera. But as a solo person, you often don’t have enough hands to take the perfect picture. That’s why having a significant other allows you to have a built-in cameraman.

Cameraman

Regardless of if they agree to it, once they say ‘I do,’ that means that they’ll forever be your Instagram cameraman and will have to deal with it.

Parkour Required

Okay, there’s always better coverage and light when you can get higher up and get a tilted angle. That may mean that there are some unique situations that you may find yourself in. But few of them have you having to have expert-level knowledge of parkour.

Parkour Required

We give this guy a lot of credit. It’s clear that he really loves his woman because he’s putting his life in her hands just so that she can look good to her followers.

Almost Done

When you’re a couple, the way the other one acts and reflects on you means you might be a little embarrassed if you’re a little crazy and do stunts like this woman does to take that image of the food.

Almost Done

This guy seems to be used to it, though, and that might be the saddest thing ever. Whatever happened to just eating something and enjoying it?

A Little to the Left

One of the ways you get plenty of likes is by having a little bit of a sense of humor. This woman is trying to have fun while traveling, in order to get a unique image and a little chuckle from her followers.

A Little to the Left

But that trick will come at the cost of her husband having to stand, for what seems like hours, while she tries to do some goofy things. Not only is he the cameraman, but he also has to watch his wife make herself look silly.

Unique Image

Sure, you can do the tried and true same old same old Instagram pictures as a couple, but you might get further if you choose to do something kind of unique. We’re not sure this is unique but hey, whatever you want to do.

Unique Image

It just sucks that the husband had to do this publicly and make a spectacle of himself. We’re sure she owes him something pretty big.

I’ll Be Right There

Epic scenery is always a big win when it comes to Instagram. Everybody dreams of being in these places. If you can find a great way to take an image that looks even more luxurious, it’s even better.

I’ll Be Right There

Unfortunately, this was a precarious situation, and there was a chance of some serious injury. We just hope they were careful and that she really appreciated everything her husband did for her.

Can You Believe It?

Sometimes, the funniest thing is getting a candid image of something going down. This guy was just having lunch and found the most unique use of a husband, when it comes to Instagram, that we’ve ever seen.

Can You Believe It?

At least this woman doesn’t seem to have any shame in her game. Though we’re not sure doing this next to a restaurant was quite what her husband would’ve liked if he’d known what everybody would get to see.

Looking Good

Making your life seem more glamorous than it is, is something on a lot of people’s To Do List when it comes to Instagram. That’s especially true if they follow celebrities that make it look super easy, like this. It just goes to show you that no matter how rich you are, you can still wind up being an Instagram husband.

Looking Good

It doesn’t seem like this celebrity really minds being the person who has to take a shot of his beautiful wife. But we’re sure that sometimes it gets a little frustrating and annoying.

I Need to Sit for a Minute

Spending the day finding the perfect post for Instagram can be very exhausting. Going from place to place just to find the right spot for a quick shot and detailing every aspect of your life can be overwhelming.

I Need to Sit for a Minute

So we understand why this woman needs to sit down. But this Instagram husband has admitted he’d be willing to be a chair. This poor guy’s back had to be pretty sore after that day!

Another One!

No matter who you are, if you’re hanging around with someone who loves to post on Instagram, you probably get tired of them having to stop and take pictures every five seconds. Not only that, but they take multiple pictures at the same spot with different angles to ensure they get the right one.

Another One!

This could be frustrating, so we understand why this husband felt a little overwhelmed when his wife just wanted another couple of shots. One thing’s for sure, her husband must be pretty patient.

Who Do You Love?

There are just some things on social media that are considered ‘money shots’. Anytime you have a cute pet and post pictures of it, it’ll be a winner. But when it seems like you care more about your pet than your husband, that could be a problem!

Who Do You Love?

This poor guy is left sitting on the road while his partner is out there taking pictures of their dog. Sometimes, we bet he feels more like a chauffeur than a husband!

Dance With Me

Sometimes, as a husband, you’re going to wind up pulling double duties. Whether that be taking care of the kids and cooking dinner or being a cameraman and a prop in an Instagram post.

Dance With Me

This guy seems to be pretty happy doing it, but we’re sure his arm will get a little tired at some point, and he’ll get bored of being the one always behind the camera.

False Perspective

When you’re an influencer, people sometimes send you products to promote. But if you want to be a little more creative, you’ll be like this woman. Though we’re not sure why she can’t do that with her husband on camera, it still looks like it works.

False Perspective

We think that this person’s back is going to be torn up by the end. Though it’s a good workout for their legs and so maybe they should be saying ‘thank you’ for the hours of posing in this position.

Good Light

In order to get a good image, sometimes you have to be a little creative when it comes to lighting. Not only do you have to think about lighting but also the composition of the picture, if you really want a perfect Instagram post.

Good Light

This guy seems to have wound up being the cameraman and having to be afraid his wife would fall down. Not to mention, she’s up there in a bikini for everybody to see and he’s probably not happy about that either.

Street Shot

Sure, having epic travel pictures and wonderful nature or near historical monuments is great for your Instagram feed. But sometimes, you just want a candid picture of yourself out on the street during the day, which is still quite challenging when you’re alone.

Street Shot

But if you have an Instagram husband, you don’t have to worry about that. You just hand him the camera and ask him to take a few snaps. This is cool, as long as he’s down for it, but maybe ask before handing him the phone.

Laying Down on the Job

As an Instagram husband, getting everything in the image your wife wants may mean getting yourself into some pretty interesting positions. But that doesn’t mean that they should be dangerous. Laying on the road is not the right way to go about this.

Laying Down on the Job

At least we can say he’s in a red zone, which means there’s no way he’ll get run over by a car unless something goes terribly wrong. On top of that, he’s going to have to wipe himself off because there’s plenty of debris on that road.

Multitasking

When it comes to Instagram, it’s all about the aesthetic. These Instagram influencers, no matter what niche they’re in, go the extra mile to ensure that their images are just perfect. Sometimes they go so far that their husbands aren’t quite sure what’s happening.

Multitasking

That being said, the fact that she didn’t even ask him to find the leaves, is a start in the right direction. He should be thankful for that!

Not in the Picture

Many Instagram pages are filled with magnificent images of foreign destinations as these Instagram “influencers” travel the world. But just like when you’re at home doing something to get that perfect image, there must be a man behind the camera.

Not in the Picture

Unfortunately for this guy, he’s the man behind the camera, and instead of getting a cool image of him and his girl in front of the Colosseum, he spent 15 minutes trying to get just the right one so she could post it.

I’m Hungry

One of the things that get posted the most on Instagram is food pictures. Whenever you go out to a new restaurant or try something new, you have to take a picture and post it so you can share it with your followers.

I’m Hungry

But this poor guy was the model and had to stare at a donut for however long it took her to get the right image. We bet he was starving and we felt kind of sorry for him in the long run. But hey, at least you got a donut!
