Husband Totally Perplexed That His Wife Is Upset He Upgraded Only His Flight Ticket To A Business Class For A 12-Hour Flight
His wife became upset after he upgraded just his flight ticket to a business one on their vacation, leaving her in economy for 12 hours alone.
Being in a marriage is a matter of community. You choose your life partner to be your everyday companion in the usual daily little things, as those make your life meaningful.
You want to do everything together, like shopping, going to the grocery store, or taking a trip or vacation. However, it seems that women tend to feel the significance of those little things more than men.
For women, being in a marriage means being in everything together. But men, oh, most of them just don't understand the importance of those daily nuances.
Recently, a Reddit user asked the community if he was wrong for not understanding these little daily matters. Here is his story.
He and his wife were supposed to go on vacation, so they booked tickets. While booking, the husband had the option to upgrade his seat using miles to a business class, but his wife's seat remained in economy.
He seized the opportunity because it was just a 12-hour flight, and he thought he was doing nothing wrong. It seemed meaningless to him; he didn't assume that his wife could be hurt by the choice he made.
However, his wife wanted them to sit next to each other on their trip, and you can imagine how she felt when she learned they wouldn't be sitting together. She was sad and thought he had chosen business class over her.
This misunderstanding didn't end here, but the husband genuinely tried to make things right and apologize to his wife properly. See their whole story below.

It really was selfish.

According to Reddit users, the husband's behavior was rude and selfish, so his wife has every right to be upset. Even though the OP wasn't sure why it was important for his wife to sit together during the flight, he did upgrade her ticket.
Hopefully, he will understand one day what true commitment is. Until then, he is at least a good listener and is able to accept good advice.
