“AITA for ignoring my husband during our flight when he expressed anxiety over flying?”
In this scenario, a newly married couple embarked on their honeymoon trip to Mexico via a three-hour flight. The wife, who frequently flies for work and had accumulated a considerable amount of miles, had the possibility of upgrading their seats to business class using her points. However, she initially forgot about this option until the day of the flight. Upon check-in, the husband was unexpectedly offered an upgrade to business class while the wife was not. Despite her initial refusal for them to be separated, the husband insisted on taking the upgrade, citing his lack of experience in business class.
Feeling shocked and upset, the wife reluctantly agreed, feeling abandoned as she was seated alone next to an elderly woman with a baby. During the flight, the husband expressed anxiety over flying via text messages to his wife, seeking comfort and reassurance. However, feeling hurt and ignored, the wife chose not to respond to his messages, causing further tension between them.
Later, the husband attempted to reconcile by offering his wife half of his business class breakfast and expressing his fear of flying, hoping for her support. However, the wife responded with sarcasm and resentment, emphasizing her disappointment in his decision to leave her alone during their honeymoon.
Upon landing, the wife tried to move past the incident, but the husband continued to guilt trip her for not providing comfort and reassurance during the flight. Now, the wife is questioning her actions and whether she was unreasonable in not offering support and reassurance to her anxious husband.
