In the 30 second video, the woman from Denver, can be seen posing for the camera - which is being held by her husband.

After the wife walks over to him, the recording shows him pan away from where she was standing and then back where a bikini-clad woman is in the water just behind where his wife was.

She then explained that in the video, she was getting closer so that the camera would just be on her, adding: "I figured I'd give him a few poses. Thinking I was the main character the whole time.

"Until I saw who he was really recording."

Many people jumped to the woman's defence in the comments section, with many feeling offended for her. One wrote: "Girl. I'm mad at my husband now and he didn't even do anything."

Another added: "I'm a married man.. if this man doesn't treat you like the MAIN character... then I'm not sure you should allow him to be a character in your story AT ALL." Deep.

And a third commented: "We are all collectively mad at him. Please notify him with a passive aggressive text and ignore him for us. Thank you ~ all women around the world."

Trying to make the woman feel better (and not realising that she's actually absolutely fine) someone else wrote: "You are the main character though. I didn't even notice her until you were totally out of the frame."

But don't worry too much because she cleared up anyone's worries and explained that the whole thing was just a joke... who knew people could still make them, eh?

The original poster wrote: "Everybody, this is a joke. He was filming me, and she happened to just be in the background. He loves me very much!"

Phew. Everyone can calm down now... well most people. Some still weren't convinced, with one continuing: "Riiiight... it's not really a joke if he turned the camera back to her, when you walked out of frame... [just saying]."

A second said: "He panned back to the girl after you walked away for a joke? I genuinely hope so because that would break my heart."
