Man stands for 6 hours in flight to let his wife sleep - but not everyone is impressed

A man stood for six hours on a flight to allow his wife stretch out on his chair to sleep.
 

A woman who witnessed the man's selfless act while on board a plane shared a photo on Twitter, writing: "This guy stood up the whole 6 hours so his wife could sleep. Now THAT is love."

Twitter users agreed it was a lovely thing he did but most felt it was unnecessary as he could still sit while his wife lays her head on his lap, reports the Mirror .

"If that is love then I rather be lonely," one man commented. 

"That's not love, his wife is selfish and he is weak," another Twitter user said. 

Another said: "Sounds like that Rose and Jack situation from titanic. So silly."

Someone else even suggested the picture had been taken out of context, writing: "Lie. They don’t let you stand in the aisle for 5 minutes, let alone 6 hours. Come on man."

But as one person pointed out, there could be more to the story than we realise.

 

Perhaps the lady in the photo had been unwell and was in need of some rest?

Maybe her husband was in the dog house over something?

Either way, as lovely as this is, we're not sure we'd stand for six hours!
