So?

They look very unhappy as they ascend. Normally they would hold hands, especially on stairs. Something is up.

I've done a few long flights with DH who can be as annoying as hell, snoring, man spreading and taking over the arm rest, but I've never whacked him full in the face as we disembark. Shock

Yes, never acceptable or classy behaviour lashing out. However I’d say looks very much like she’s just found out he’s got a mistress.

What?! Based on what exactly?

Americano75 · 26/05/2025 13:25

She uses both hands which makes it worse, and you can tell by his reaction it's not 'bantz'. Horrible to watch.

Married couple have a row shocker! I really don’t think we know anything about wha5 this does or doesn’t imply about their relationship. It wasn’t a punch.

What? I have been in relationships with men for almost 30 years and never once pushed any of them, let alone in the face.

That's an awful thing to post. Do you always presume that domestic violence is the fault of the victim?

Is this what you do to your spouse when you're having a row?

Because I don't. And neither does my DH.

SidekickSylvia · 26/05/2025 13:27

I think pp's suggestion of a transatlantic flight being stressful is a play on words?

Married 21 years and we've never shoved one another.

I have never shoved my husband during an argument and vice versa.

I bet this isn't the first time it has happened.

Don’t be so naive.

Not necessarily a "mistress".

HiRen · 26/05/2025 13:30

I recognized it for what it was the second I saw it. You don’t fake the defensive move he made, stepping backwards. He offered her his arm on the steps down to the tarmac: she completely ignored him and left him hanging. Disgusting woman.

And it plays right into Putin’s hands. You just know the SM onslaught is coming, he’s going to be hounded for being a victim of domestic violence at home and how can he have any authority as President of the Republic.

Nasty woman.

Womblingmerrily · 26/05/2025 13:31

Nothing justifies this and I find it distasteful that people are suggesting there is a good reason for her hitting him in the face.

I find the whole relationship distasteful though.

DeSoleil · 26/05/2025 13:31

Mistress! 😂 Highly unlikely!

spoonbillstretford · 26/05/2025 13:32

Hmm, even if it was "joking around" as some people seem to be saying, it's super unprofessional for an experienced person in her position. I suspect one too many French 75s on the plane on her part.

asnever · 26/05/2025 13:32

He realises it's been seen - awkward😬

zenas · 26/05/2025 13:33

It's one thing to have this happen behind closed doors, which is unacceptable anyway, but before the eyes of the world is so awful. She surely knew the doors were open and the world could see.

uuuuu · 26/05/2025 13:33

What makes it a bit too much/bit too weird for me is that the shove was to the face. She was clearly exceptionally angry with him to do that. It was very deliberate as she had to reach to do it.

Thelostjewels · 26/05/2025 13:34

I've seen the clip but can barely make it out how are people getting such detail?

Americano75 · 26/05/2025 13:35

Well, this is pretty clear to me.

Quelle surprise!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 26/05/2025 13:37

I think it's absolutely shocking. I don't think they can recover from this. Divorce will be announced soon I would expect
