The gracious and gentlemanly thing to do would be to give her the first class seat, and the romantic thing to do would be to sit together, even if that means springing for another upgrade, or giving up your own so that you both fly economy. Happy wife, happy life. She may have insisted that you take the first class seat because your travel earned it (just a guess), but chivalry dictates that you refuse.

Damn you people are quick to pounce. My wife doesn't care if this happens - sometimes we don't have the same reservation.

It's just a metal tube hurtling through the sky and a matter of free drinks. You can't sit apart for the length of a flight? 👌🏽

Dude, you are paying for it later. I just found out yesterday evening that mine's mad at me because my entree tasted better than her at a dinner date 2 weeks ago

Wow. And as a gentleman, it didn't occur to you to offer the spot in first to your SO? Or get her a seat with you upfront?

Alright folks - so let's give some background.. I'm 6'2 and I got the upgrade and got the window with no one next to me in entire row and give my ticket to the wife.. she absolutely refused knowing I'll need the extra space -- she is 5'2.. I also took my breakfast tray to my wife so that she can enjoy the meal while I sip on the wood ford .. which my wife appreciated..save the troll / douche comments for someone else folks..!!

I feel bad for her.

Its it is delta. Also they would need to be flying on the same ticket. Maybe His wife will meet someone in Econ and all will be right with the world once again. Lol

Old-fashioned male here, who hopes chivalry is not dead. If you're both female, and I am making hetero normative assumptions about your gender, then I retract my negative view of your choice.

I am a female who travels weekly (first class) and spouse is male. When traveling together on flights we always sit together upgrade or not. It doesn't matter what your sex is, consideration is consideration. My spouse is so understanding about my crazy work schedule and frequent time away from home. Out of appreciation for this I do everything in my power to ensure our time together is truly together.

I've given up first for my SO on a 3 hr flight just so we could sit together in Econ. Don't regret it at all and would do it again.

Lol, you're fine OP, just means she values you and is proud to call you hers. Hahaha - all this noise about putting her on a pedestal and that "you'll pay for it now" is a bunch of weak beta/femmebot nonsense! Go have a blast with your woman and let her spoil you as much as she wants to - it's her choice after all and it makes her feel great! 🍻

My comment above is also coming from a female. My SO and I both travel for work, but I have the higher status. Regardless, time together takes priority no matter what.

like

Good for you OP. I totally get you. I think it's sexist to give your seat up for the sake of chivalry or being a gentleman. I would only give it up because I love my SO and I would rather suffer in economy than her. I understand rejecting the upgrade to a be romantic too. When we travelled, my SO felt the same way and she just wouldn't switch with my seat in business. I feel really lucky to be with her. Also logic says heavier and taller people need more space and she is about half my weight and a few inches shorter. Next time though she will definitely be sitting up in the front if I get upgraded. Again, not cause I am a gentleman or I want to be chivalrous but simply because I would gladly suffer economy to make my SO happy just as she did for me.
