Perhaps the biggest surprise in this story is how uninvolved the husband was.

I was miffed but busy making sure Jeremy had everything he needed.
The netizen speculates that the husband might be used to his wife behaving this way.
After the interaction, he just pulled out a book and started reading, u/gayboythrowaway25 tells us.
Now thats some real nonchalance!
Other than the guy who told her to move, the otherpassengersin line were getting pretty annoyed.
She was kinda loud so people around us were turning their heads and all, the Redditor adds.
I dont regret keeping my seat, he reiterates nonetheless.
It was an earlyflightand I didnt sleep too well so I was a little irritable.
As far as his fiances reaction, he says it wasnt bad at all.
My fiance missed half the conversation so I dont blame him for saying to be nicer.
Frankly, I think if I saw her again Id avoid her.
He also suspects she mightve been a tad homophobic.
I dont know if it was homophobically motivated but I wouldnt be surprised, the Redditor tells us.
I said shoved but it wasnt an open palmed two-handed shove or anything.
