An image of a man standing on a plane as his supposed wife reclines across three seats has provoked outrage online.
A tweet shared on Thursday by Courtney Lee Johnson, a life coach from Indiana, claimed that an unidentified man had stood in the aisle of the cabin while his wife slept for a full six hours during a long-haul flight.
The scenario has drawn heated criticism from social media users who say the man is 'whipped' and the woman is 'selfish' - while some are questioning the validity of the tweet altogether.

It’s a satchel!
He probably has a good reason to stand. My problem with this picture is Sleeping Beauty has bare feet on da seat. Nasty!
I stand 10 hours a day at work. Heck, my knees would rather stand than have my 6’6” frame stuffed into those tiny seats.
I can’t sleep on flights, so I actually would do something like this, just walk around and explore. Maybe not for six hours though, LOL.
Yours, apparently.
Why is this a problem?
How many times has my arm fallen painfully asleep so I don’t disturb her while she snoozed through a movie on the DVD?
If she needed it, its OK with me.
Maybe he he has leg or back issues and it feels better to stand or he was too long legged to fit in the coach seat.
Let. It. Go.
If it wasn’t clear, I totally agree with you.
I’ve read these two posters for their wit, and here they meet! But I’m torn. He has a point . . . she has a point. Anyhow, thanks for the laugh.
Flattery will get you nowhere!
(Many women are attracted to gruff men. NOBODY is attracted to gruff women.)
Huh?
Makes perfect sense. That sure doesn't look like First Class to me...!
You are speaking a noble truth, sir.
I see the same thing you saw. Good man.
The wife could not have used her husband’s lap as a pillow?
Nobody knows why his wife was sleeping. Perhaps she is ill.
That’s way past chivalry. Opening a door for her is one thing, this is ridiculous. Is that first class? Those seats are very cushy and have nice head rests. As if she couldn’t reline the seat and sleep.
It’s everyone’s business who has to squeeze past him to get to the restroom and anyone who he falls on if the plane suddenly hits turbulence. It’s certainly the business of the passenger across the aisle who had to smell his butt in their face for six hours.
That's a crazy question...Millions of men (and women) stand all day long at their jobs in their workplaces...It's no big deal...
I love my wife more than even my own life - 27 years of marriage and I still open every door for her and would stand on broken glass for those 6 hours if she needed me to.
Exactly. Yeah, the guy may be "whipped," or he just may be one of those increasingly rare creatures known as a "gentleman."
Maybe she is easier to get along with when she isn’t tired.
