He stood in an airplane's aisle for the entire duration of a six hour flight to let his wife sleep on the seats.
According to a report in the Mirror, a fellow woman passenger saw his sweet gesture and shared the picture of the man's act on social media saying, "This guy stood up the whole six hours so his wife could sleep. Now THAT is love."
However, some of the social media users had negative reactions after seeing the man's picture. One said that if the gesture was love he'd rather be lonely, another person called the man's wife as selfish and him weak.
One likened the situation to that of Jack and Rose from the movie Titanic.
