A man's behavior on the way to his honeymoon has left people divided, after he snatched his wife's business class upgrade on their flight to their honeymoon, leaving her in economy.

Getting married is usually one of the happiest times in a couple's life, and a relaxing honeymoon together is often the icing on the cake.

But one bride started newlywed life pretty put out after she ended up having to sit in economy on their flight, while her husband used her air mile points to live it up in business class without her.

The story, which the bride shared on Reddit's famous 'Am I The A**hole' forum, was soon flooded with comments - including some urging her to reconsider the marriage - after she revealed how the situation went down.

She explained: "I [33F] recently married my husband [30M] and we took a 3 hour flight to Mexico for our honeymoon.

"I fly a lot for my job, so I have racked up a lot of miles. My husband isn’t a big fan of flying, though he has gotten better and tends to just hold my hand and close his eyes during take off and landing (mostly okay when in the air).

"When I booked our flights I requested to use my points if an upgrade to business class became available, but made it clear I only wanted this upgrade if two seats became available and then basically forgot about it."

However, things went wrong when it came to the day of their flight, as the excited newlywed bride checked the couple in online for their flight to their honeymoon.

As they arrived at the boarding gate, the person checking them in revealed that her husband's ticket had been upgraded to business class - but not hers.

She continued: "She says it seems that my husband was upgraded to business class, but ONLY him and asks if that is okay. I immediately say no, we are on our honeymoon and would like to stay together.

"But then my husband jumps in and says, 'No it’s fine, I’ll go to business class!' I look at him in complete shock and he tells me that I fly all the time and have been in business class before, but he hasn’t. So he deserves a chance to experience it."

The unnamed bride said she felt pressure to agree with it as they were now holding up the line to get on the plane, but added: "To say I am p**sed off is an understatement. He is all smiles, taking his seat and I go back to my seat where they sit me next to an old woman with a baby on her lap where my husband should be sitting.

"Within maybe 5-10 minutes of sitting there, trying to hold back tears because my husband left me alone on our flight during our honeymoon (and uses MY points for his upgrade no less), he starts to text me saying he feels anxiety over flying. I ignore the texts and stop looking at my phone."

Around an hour into the flight, having had his requests for reassurance about his flight anxiety ignored by his bride, the selfish groom walked back to the economy section, where he offered the woman half of the fancy breakfast he'd been served in business class.

"[He] asks me why I was ignoring him - that he was scared and needed me to tell him it’d be okay since I am such an experienced flyer. I told him maybe he should have thought about that before leaving me alone before our honeymoon even really began," she continued.

"He gets angry, tells me that this may be the only time he gets to fly business class and he was giving me half his breakfast to make up for it so I could at least be supportive of his genuine fear. I roll my eyes, sarcastically say 'thanks' and he goes back up to his seat."

Things didn't get much better when they got to Mexico, as the woman wrote: "When we landed I tried to just move on and forget about it so that we could just enjoy our honeymoon, but he guilt tripped me about not comforting him via text before take off and now I am wondering if I am being unreasonable and should have just let him enjoy his time in business class and ensure him it’d be okay. So AITA? [Am I the a**hole?]"

Unsurprisingly, most people deemed the groom's behavior a serious red flag, writing: "NTA [not the a**hole], but I’m afraid that you’re confused. You didn’t just get married. You just adopted an adult child," and: "NTA - he was happy to ditch you when the chance arose but he’s mad that you weren’t 'there' to comfort him?"

Others suggested the pair rethink their marriage, commenting: "NTA - He thinks flying business class is more important than spending time with you at the start of your honeymoon. His priorities aren't straight...." and: "NTA. Dear, this is not a good beginning. Please do not combine your finances or make any big purchases for a couple of years. You may wish to reconsider this marriage. I am sorry, but he has just shown you who he really is."

One even added: "I don't understand why the two of you are married. You don't seem to really like each other much."

Another wrote: "NTA. So on your honeymoon he took an upgrade you earned and let you stay back in coach? YIKES. I'm honestly surprised he wasn't flying home alone."

Others believed both were in the wrong, writing: "ESH [everyone sucks here], maybe slightly YTA [you're the a**hole].

"All the NTA votes shock me to be honest. Both people in the story are selfish, the OP [original poster] incredibly so (read OP's post again, it's all about her, her points, her seat, her, her, her, she doesn't care about her husband at all), and both have contempt for the other. You're on your honeymoon and you're sarcastically responding and eyerolling at your new spouse, why the heck did you even get married in the first place?

"OP has flown many times, knows her husband is a nervous flier, has been in business class before and her husband hasn't, and instead of just saying 'this would be a nice thing I can do for my husband', it's me, me, me, mine, mine, mine. My perspective, my points, MY seat.

"This woman is ridiculously self-centered. Husband is also a k**b."

Some people wondered why the couple ever got married at all. Credit: Peter Dazeley/Getty Images

Another wrote: "I've been married almost 10 years, together for 17. This is so minor. Both of you were wrong.

"Have an open, calm discussion and explain again why you were upset. Genuinely apologize for your part. You guys have choices. You can use this to grow and understand each other better. You can p**s away your honeymoon being irritated.

"They way you work through these small issues and learn to work through them can really help you guys work together through the tough stuff. Look at it as training for your relationship."

One commenter also added: "Assuming this story is real, it’s embarrassing that you both are in your 30s."
