The following contains spoilers for This Is Us.

Y'all, we need to talk about Jack Pearson from This Is Us. Not his perfect smile, his incredible parenting, or his tragic death . . . but rather, his effect on men everywhere. You see, Jack's seemingly effortless propensity for romantic gestures big and small has set an especially high bar for guys, and their partners aren't shy about holding them to it. For better or worse, Jack has changed the husband (and father) game for good.

Fans of the show have taken to Twitter to express how Jack has changed their lives and relationships. The hilarious reactions run the gamut from run-of-the-mill jealousy to irrational annoyance — and oh yeah, there are some positives, too! Check out these responses to Jack's overwhelming goodness, and next time you're faced with a relationship hurdle, just ask yourself WWJD ("what would Jack do?").

People everywhere agree: Jack sets some pretty unrealistic expectations for husbands and fathers.

Men are straight-up jealous of Jack Pearson, and we can't blame them.

Women even admit to being irrationally angry at their partners for NOT being Jack.

Some of them have even told their husbands to behave more like Jack.

But some have realized that maybe they've been taking their partner's Jack-like qualities for granted.

Then there are those men who use Jack as an inspiration and are better because of it.

The point is, Jack is perfect . . . and gone way too soon.
