let him have it with their absolutely correct perspectives on why he was an asshole and how a healthy marriage would have looked in this situation. Let's break it down...First of all, not only did the OP abandon his wife in economy seating, but he also made fun of her feelings about the situation.
"'Just' a 12-hour flight isn't a sentence I hear that often. I've done 12-hour flights several times and they suck even when you have company you love. That flight is going to be even more awful for your wife if she's stuck next to a stranger. Whether you understand why or not your wife has made it clear how she feels and you're the asshole if you ignore that.
"Why wouldn't you want to cuddle, talk, and be with your wife too? Aren't one of the perks of marriage never having to be alone on a plane again?""You're the asshole. Business class comes with more space, better service, and a quieter atmosphere. You're sending a message to your wife that you deserve all that but she doesn't.
Divorce.
My husband would have given me the upgrade
Girl, just throw the whole husband out.
If he's treating his wife like this at 24 years old, when they're young and should be head over heels for each other, how is he going to treat her at 64, when they've been together for so long routine and familiarity has settled in?
