Boyfriend’s separate business class seat booking divides internet

A woman has vented her frustration online over her boyfriend’s business class move following their first trip together, with many divided by his act.

A woman was shocked after finding out her boyfriend had booked himself a seat in business class for an upcoming holiday, while leaving her in economy.

The couple had been together for seven months when they planned their first getaway.

They had agreed to go halves on accommodation while paying for their own flights, The Sun reports.

However, the woman hadn’t expected her partner to give himself an upgrade – and when she found out he was going to fly in luxury, it didn’t go down very well.

She reached out to parenting site Mumsnet to ask if she was being unreasonable for reacting negatively to the situation.

“You both discuss going to European city, half of accommodation each and paying for own flights,” she wrote.

“Boyfriend messages to say they’ve booked their flights, you message to say, ‘OK I’ll book mine now, did you reserve your seat?’

“Boyfriend says, ‘Oh I’m flying business we can just meet up on the other side.’ Thoughts?”

The woman received a lot of support from other users, with plenty of people saying they didn’t have high hopes for a long-term relationship.

One wrote: “I’d not bother going. He sounds lacking in both charm and self-awareness.”

Another said: “He doesn’t sound like much of a keeper to me.”

However, others were less annoyed by the boyfriend’s behaviour.

One said: “I don’t actually see the big issue. If you booked separately, at separate times, chances are you wouldn’t be sat together anyway.

“You obviously didn’t plan on ensuring you sat together on the flight, so it doesn’t really matter where he is sat.”

Another argued: “Perfectly reasonable considering you’ve only been together seven months.”
