People don't seem impressed by this husband's considerate sacrifice for his wife

This husband certainly knows where he stands.

But in 2019 is the spouse who stood in an aeroplane for six hours, to let his wife sleep, perceived as a saint or a sucker?

A woman posted a photo of the gallant act online, reports the Mirror.

Feelings are mixed between people who thought it was a selfless, lovely thing to do, to others who were less impressed.

One commenter said: "If that is love then I rather be lonely."

Another remarked: ""That's not love, his wife is selfish and he is weak."

One woman said: "Sounds like that Rose and Jack situation from titanic. So silly.'

And a cynical respondent posted: "Lie. They don’t let you stand in the aisle for 5 minutes, let alone 6 hours. Come on man."

Perhaps we will never know what the person stands for.

It could well have been a massive act of kindness which makes this considerate chap a hero and certainly not a zero.

And with pretty good stamina, too.
