+12 If you are upset your significant other got upgraded to first class and left you in economy on an airplane, you are a terrible partner and likely a selfish person. amirite?

Exactly. We rarely fly and there's no way either one of us would do this. Not to mention that I have extreme fear on planes due to horrible claustrophobia, being alone would make it worse.

First class would help those claustrophobia fears

Not to mention he'd not let his wife have first class unless it was impossible for him to take the seat for himself. And if some imaginary scenario came up where the airline forced his wife to take the seat instead of him, he'd make sure to inconvenience her by making her leave her seat whenever she got any snacks/perks to walk back and give him some. The irony of him calling someone selfish is some of the best I've seen in a while.

Literally. I'm 27 and have been on a plane maybe less than 10 times total in my entire life lol.

I usually fly with my wife once or twice a year (one international, one 3 hour flight) If they upgraded my wife id be thrilled for her to get a better seat but also id thank heavens she isnt snoring on me, because I take the middle while she gets the window

I don't know, the point still stands. I would be happy for my partner to get to enjoy that experience and wouldn't want them to turn it down just so we can sit next to each other on a flight.

But you'd probably, I'm assuming, also understand that if you got the upgrade and your partner wanted you to stay with them, you would.

the point is only a partner who views the relationship as some zero sum game where an improvement in the others life is a negative would demand their partner not be able to sit in first class.

Well sure, any relationship that consists of one-sided demands and no consideration of the others feelings is doomed. I would assume though that the situation is more nuanced than that. If I took the upgrade I know my partner would suffer with the lack of company and anxiety. So I wouldn't do it to them.
