Woman dumps boyfriend after his mum refused to pay for her first class flight – but people say she is in the right
A WOMAN claimed to dump her boyfriend after his mum refused to pay for her first class flight – but people are on her side.
The woman explained that she was travelling to Cabo for spring break with her boyfriend, along with his parents, siblings and their partners.
However, she said her boyfriend’s parents paid for seven of the first class flights, including their plus ones – but left her in economy.
She wrote on the Reddit forum: “Becky, his mom, hasn’t seemed to like me for some reason she always makes snide remarks about my parents blue collar jobs and my field is nursing.”
“We get to the airport and Becky got 7 other people first class tickets and me 1 coach ticket.
“She told me I was used to it and she had a free coach ticket so I should be grateful for going.”

She added that not only did they leave her while she was in the longer queue, but she then had to pay for baggage when she got to the check in desk – where she started crying.
She continued: “My boyfriend at the time never once helped me through the coach line or said anything to his mom. I looked over at his mom’s smug face as I was about to pay the checked baggage fee.”
She finished by saying the check-in crew said she shouldn’t go, so she ended up breaking up with her boyfriend at the airport and leaving, to which she was then blamed for wasting their money.
The Reddit poster asked if she was in the wrong – but nearly everyone was on her side.
