No relationship is ever easy, but none of them should be super hard, either. You're always going to have hardships in any relationship (friends, family, partners, etc.). But overcoming them is how you grow as a person. Of course, some relationships seem pretty flawed from the get-go.

A man on Reddit who goes by hdudhejdj recently discussed how, on a plane ride back from a trip they'd taken, he turned down an offer to sit next to his girlfriend. Now, he's wondering if he was wrong to do so. As one does, he decided to ask the AITA community for advice.

The End Of His Trip Didn't Go So Well.

OP and his girlfriend are in college and took a trip to Ohio after their exams. On the last day of the trip, the girlfriend woke up angry because OP had accidentally pushed her off the bed. She continued to complain about their morning, as she'd wanted to go to a café instead of eating at the continental breakfast area. They ended up going out later because the coffee was too weak.

OP became agitated and told his girlfriend not to talk to him until they were back from their trip. When they got on the plane, they were seated in different sections. The girlfriend went up to OP later and said the lady next to her was willing to switch seats with him so they could be together. OP refused, just wanting his girlfriend to leave him alone. Naturally, this made her upset, as she felt he'd embarrassed her on the flight.

Commenters Felt That OP Was Being Insensitive.

Many commenters pointed out the fact that OP seems to think pushing his girlfriend out of bed was funny, even if it was an accident. From there, the comment section had a lot more sympathy for the girlfriend, and a lot less for OP.

Many Wondered If OP Even Liked His Girlfriend.

Many commenters also joked about how, of all the places they could visit, they went to Ohio for a vacation.

Some Even Thought OP's Relationship Was Doomed.
