A man sparked debate online after standing for six hours on a flight, allowing his wife to lie across the seats and sleep comfortably.
A recent story has created a buzz on social media. A man reportedly stood for six hours on a flight so that his wife could lie down and sleep across three seats.
This act, described as a romantic gesture, has sparked a lively debate online about love and sacrifice.
Man stands in a plane aisle for six hours so his wife can sleep comfortably across the seats
The incident took place on a long-haul flight, where getting comfortable can be difficult.
An entrepreneur named Courtney Lee Johnson shared a photo of the man standing in the aisle, leaning on two seats.
His wife was lying across the three seats, resting comfortably.
Johnson added a caption to the post, saying, “This guy stood up the whole six hours so his wife could sleep. Now that is love.”
The photo quickly gained attention on social media, receiving over 13,000 likes. However, the reactions to this gesture were mixed.
While some praised the man’s dedication, others questioned whether such a sacrifice truly represented love.
Social media reactions
Many users expressed their opinions about the situation.
One user said: It’s easy to judge. She could be a controlling monster or a woman who was extremely ill.
The second user wrote: He did it in an act of love, but that woman has cero love and empathy for her husband.
The third user commented: His wife shouldn’t have been so selfish!!!!
The fourth user added: Stupidity of the highest level…..and it’s obvious the wife wears the trousers in that marriage…..how can she be that selfish….
Another user said: So sweet!!!!
Someone said: If his wife was sick etc then I totally respect him doing that
Similar acts of kindness in air travel
This incident is not the first time a selfless act on a plane has gone viral.
On Reddit, a user named ‘therra123’ posted a photo of a father holding his daughter’s head so she could sleep comfortably.
The post received positive feedback, with many praising the father’s dedication to his child.
Comments on that post suggested that such acts of kindness are part of being a parent.
However, similar to the recent flight incident, not everyone agreed that these gestures were the best approach.
Some Reddit users suggested there were better options available for both the father and the daughter.
