Her Husband Got Angry After She Didn’t Ask The Person Next To Her To Switch Seats On The Plane
When traveling on a plane, there are few worse feelings than getting seated next to someone who makes your flight unpleasant for one reason or another.
One woman recently upset her husband after refusing to ask the person sitting next to her on a flight if she could swap seats with her husband to make him more comfortable.
She and her husband, Thomas, are in their 20s and recently took a trip to visit her parents via plane.
They booked ‘basic economy’ tickets, which meant they weren’t allowed to select their seats either way and would likely be sat in different places. However, their flight was only two hours, so they figured they’d be fine.
After boarding the plane for their flight home, which only had two seats per row, they realized they were both in aisle seats, just one row apart.
She and Thomas agreed that if one of their seatmates didn’t show up, they’d sit next to each other.
“The seat next to me was empty when I sat down; however, Thomas’s seatmate was already in his row,” she said.
“When Thomas sat down, I noticed that his seatmate, a middle-aged woman, was very overweight and could not put the armrest between her and Thomas down.”
“She was probably taking up a third of his seat, and he was squished next to her. I felt bad for Thomas and hoped that my row would end up being empty so that he could move.”

“However, my seatmate showed up soon after that. She looked to be in her early 20s, like me. I sent Thomas a ‘sorry’ text and then put my phone on airplane mode, not thinking much of it.”
When their plane landed, she was greeted by an angry Thomas. When she asked him what was wrong, he told her she should’ve asked the young woman sitting next to her to switch seats with him during the flight.
“He said that she was smaller than him and could’ve fit next to the overweight woman more easily,” she recalled.
“Then, he and I could’ve sat together. I told Thomas that I wasn’t comfortable doing that, especially since it was obvious that I would’ve been asking the girl to be okay with having her space encroached on. I said that it wasn’t a fair trade, and I thought it would’ve been rude to ask.”
Thomas became more upset, telling her she cared more about her seatmate than she did him. Then, he told her she should’ve switched seats with him, which she found ridiculous because she’s not much smaller than him.
Since their flight, Thomas has been upset and has even told some friends and neighbors about their argument.
Should she have asked her seatmate to switch with her husband, or was she right to respect that woman’s space?
