With a blink of an eye his post went viral faster than a sneeze in a crowded room, and boy, did it catch everyone's attention! Here are some of the top responses it received:

Many users suspect the story is not even real.

These tales often have a familiar ending.

Finding better ways to resolve disagreements is essential.

The wife's only takeaway from that day was learning about better ways to solve disagreements.

OP's wife is an adult, and the intention is not to "teach her a lesson."

"You were on a free trip paid for by her father and decided you need to be a petty bastard."

That's likely one lesson she picked up that day.

OP might only be interested in the free trips.

OP won't get any first-class tickets in the future anymore.

The airline wouldn't permit something like that to occur.

But others seem to have different opinions, like this user said:

Given OP's behavior, she will think twice before traveling with him next time.

Using a baby as a weapon is definitely a-hole behavior.

"You used a mother and her child who were probably already stressed as a pawn in your weird game."
