NJtoOx says: I&rsquo;m gonna go with NTA because if your husband truly believed it wasn&rsquo;t a big deal or even saw that what his mom did was fucked up he would have switched with you and let you sit in first class and him in economy or asked for his seat to be switched to sit with you. nerdyaccountant1 says: YTA.
