The man’s wife wanted to get coffee, and seeing a small market near the terminal, he offered to make the run for her. However, she specifically wanted Starbucks. Unfortunately, the Starbucks was a rail ride and a walk away.
The husband told his wife they didn’t have enough time, but she insisted she would go. He said:
“I tried to discourage her, but she was determined. She walked away, at a brisk pace for her, and said she would be back in time.”
The 15 minutes eventually passed, and the woman still wasn’t back.
She also didn’t answer her phone. All groups had already boarded the plane, but the man insisted the attendant wait for his wife. When the wife answered the call, she said the line to get coffee was long, and she was on her way.
Unfortunately, the attendant had to close the doors despite the husband’s plea. Knowing he couldn’t let his daughter down again, he boarded the plane. His wife called minutes later, telling him to get off the plane, but he simply said “no.”
“I said I told you we didn’t have time, but you decided to go anyways.
I told her to go purchase a new ticket for the next flight, and I would see her when she arrived,” the man said. The woman followed and acted like nothing happened. However, when they got home, she refused to talk to her.
The husband turned to the Reddit community to seek advice for what he did and mentioned that Jess was his daughter from a previous marriage. Since his post went viral, many agreed that the woman likely acted in such a way because she secretly resented the daughter. One person said:
“A lot of people agree that this is all because of her poor relationship with the daughter.
However, I think she is just incredibly entitled.”
Another social media user claimed that the “Wife was deliberately sabotaging trips to see the daughter,” making decisions that would prevent their reunion. Do you think that the man was correct to board the plane? What would you have done in his situation?
