Lol. No it isn't.

My husband would have given me the seat.

That is what you wanted to hear from DCUM and you got it. it's the truth. (I won't waste my time reading all the posts, but I would bet my last dollar that they are 99% in agreement that your husband is a low life.

But here is the more sobering news. in marriage and in life, people get what they deserve. It does not reflect well on you that the best husband your could attract was this person. you should look in the mirror and be honest about what you can do to improve yourself.

what a sad, yucky story.

This person is an imbecile, OP. Ignore them.

Barf.

Sorry your spouse sucks.

Uh, no. “The best seat on the plane is the one next to him” was infantile, nauseating pablum.

-DP with awesome husband

DH is a duck. I get upgraded a lot and ALWAYS give it to DH.

I had high status and was traveling economy with my family. The cabin manager came to the back to greet me and said “Sir, we would have upgraded you but we saw you were traveling with your family.”

Because they were sitting next to me there was no way for me to say “what? These losers? I barely know them!”

I try to signal this with my eyes but no luck

Trading half way sounds embarrassing. And prole.

What are the consequences if a whole plane of people I don’t know think I am a prole?

Hahaha! Ok, I almost called trolled, then remembered I've lost upgrades because I had others attached to my itinerary and there weren't enough seats for all. Pretty hilarious and depressing to have them mention it on the plane, though.

No wonder the divorce rate is so high in this country- there are so many petty and childish, grudges and squabbles. I would’ve told my husband to enjoy the upgrade. Or, if I really needed that seat, I would’ve asked for it.

The PP is right and name calling won't change it. the truth hurts sometimes.

Why should he suffer because she was?

This happens to my friend a lot. His work travel is what earns the upgrade so he gets the better seat. She takes an edible and watches TV and is fine in economy

Oh stop. My dh would have never done this to me and I would not have done this to him. It's not the communication in this case it's the fact that he didn't hesitate to accept without even thinking that it would have been the kind thing to do to take the two coach seats so they could be together. And texting a picture of the cheese plate is just mean!

Why should both people suffer? If they are returning from vacation they have been together 24/7 for days and can endure a few hours separated on a plane. Good grief.

This is a troll, people.
