Woman Learns To Never Talk To A Man With A Ring On His Finger The Hard Way
One of the core pillars of any healthy and happy relationship is dividing up responsibilities in a fair way. Whether you’re talking about household chores or childcare, if one partner gets stuck doing the lion’s share of work, there’s bound to be tension. And sometimes, it boils over in the unlikeliest of places. Say, miles above the ground, in an airplane, surrounded by strangers.
Digital creator and businesswoman Jordynn Wynn, @jordynnwynn, the founder of ‘Insert Name Here,’ went viral on TikTok after sharing how she got caught in the middle of a domestic dispute while flying first-class. She revealed how a man’s wife confronted him for sitting separately from her and the kids. Check out the full story below. Bored Panda got in touch with Jordynn via email, and we’ll update the article as soon as we hear back from her.

Most families sit together when traveling by plane. It makes sense to work as a team to take care of the kids

Digital creator Jordynn shared an awkward encounter when a mom confronted her husband who got upgraded to first class

“I’m on the plane and I get upgraded to first class, which was super unexpected. And I get seated next to this guy who’s like early 40s, late 30s. And he’s working on his laptop, and I’m working on my laptop. And the flight attendant comes around and offers us drinks, and I just order a water. And he tells me, ‘Did you know that in first class, it’s unlimited free drinks?’ And I’m like, ‘No, I did not.’ Obviously, it was clear that I did not because he felt the need to tell me.”
“So I ended up ordering a glass of wine. And then I’m like, ‘Oh, where are you going? What are you doing?’ And he tells me that he’s a professor. And he works in nature conservation. And he’s going on a trip to give a speech about nature conservation, which is actually very interesting to me. And so I’m just asking him a bunch of questions, not flirting, just chatting about nature conservation.”

“And then, at some point, he tells me that his wife is actually in the back with the two kids because he’s very far behind on the project. And he was sitting in first class so he could get it finished, because he also got randomly upgraded. And literally, as if on cue, we were talking for 15-20 minutes at this point, and his wife comes up with the babies. Probably, I don’t know, a two-year-old and a five-year-old, and plops the baby, the babiest baby in his lap. And she’s like, ‘If you’re not going to work, the least you can do is watch one of the babies.'”

“She is pissed. And he’s like, ‘Oh, hi. You know, she was just asking about how we met’, which I did ask. I did ask that. She does not care, though. And they start whispering. He’s trying to calm her down. And the little girl, who’s five, is like, ‘Oh, we saw you board the plane’ to me. So I’m casually trying to make conversation with this five-year-old girl because they’re having a very heated, awkward conversation right next to me. He says something like, ‘Oh, yeah, she was just asking me about my job.’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, we’ve been watching you, and your head turn over here for the last 20 minutes.'”

“Then she ends up leaving, and she just leaves the baby, the two-year-old, in his lap with no tools. So the baby’s kicking the seat, very busy, this guy’s giving him his watch, digging in his bag, giving him a pen, whatever he has on him. And I feel awkward. I’m like, should I take the baby? Should I be taking responsibility for this? So I’m just on my phone awkwardly. And he’s… I mean, it’s awkward for everyone. He’s kind of trying to make a conversation with me, but I’m kind of like, don’t do it. And initially, I’m like, that lady is grumpy. But then I’m like, well, what husband, what partner not even husband, what partner leaves their partner in the back of a plane, while they’re in first class drinking whiskey, with a two-year-old and a five-year-old on a 3-4 hour flight? That’s crazy.

The lesson I learned here is one, just never talk to men with wedding rings on. It’s just not worth it. There’s no reason. And two, choose wisely. Do not marry somebody who’s gonna leave you in the back of the plane with a two-year-old and a five-year-old.”

Jordynn, one of the founders of ‘Insert Name Here,’ shares awesome hair, fashion, and makeup videos on TikTok, as well as some of her interesting life stories. At the time of writing, her clip about the mid-air drama in the first-class plane cabin was viewed 900k times and counting.
The video also started an important discussion about how partners share responsibilities in relationships. Plenty of Jordynn’s viewers were completely on the mom’s side. They said that the dad should have known better than taking the random upgrade “to work.’
Instead, he should have stayed with his wife and kids. It’s easy to see why his spouse got so upset that he was sitting in the lap of luxury, enjoying a drink, and talking to Jordynn. Meanwhile, the digital creator got stuck in the middle of the row, awkwardly talking to one of the kids while her parents had a row in the background.

There’s a lot here to unpack, but fundamentally, there are three main issues that the video touched on. First of all, there’s the fact that the mom clearly felt like she was doing most of the childcare in the relationship. She probably would have loved to take a small break from being a parent like her husband did, however, she wasn’t given the chance.
Unfortunately, this is nothing new. The Pew Research Center recently found that even in egalitarian marriages, where both partners earn more or less the same amount of money, women still end up doing most of the housework and taking care of the kids. Meanwhile, men spend around 3.5 hours more on leisure activities than their wives, per week.
Secondly, the husband promised that he’d be working. Instead, he seemed to focus on living his best life. This is understandable—parents aren’t just parents and everyone needs breaks now and then to recharge and reenergize. And talking to an interesting stranger is genuinely fun. The point is, however, you should be honest about your intentions, instead of saying that you’ll be neck-deep in work. The couple could have tried splitting the first-class seat, each getting half the flight to chill, for example.

Third of all, parents ought to know better than to argue in front of their kids, in public. It sets a bad precedent and can be damaging to their mental and emotional health. Though it’s important to set boundaries, sometimes, it’s worth picking a better place and time to hash out the details of what went wrong and what you’re going to do moving forward.
For instance, you could tell your partner that you need their help and hint that you’ll talk about what just happened when you get back home. Causing a scene on the plane, while understandable, can make a lot of fellow passengers feel awkward.
Whatever your disagreements might be, it’s vital to keep in mind that you’re still on the same team as a couple. So your goal shouldn’t be to win the argument, so much as to get to the root of the problem. You want your partner to behave differently, therefore, you should focus on looking for compromises and solutions, not emotionally dismantling their self-worth.

At the end of the day, someone who’s being attacked is bound to get defensive. Someone who’s being treated respectfully (even if they might not deserve it at that particular moment) is going to be more open to suggestions. Obviously, if it’s a recurring problem, you may want to consider seeing a couple’s therapist. They might be able to give you some practical insights into how to move forward.
Something that you can’t do without in long-term relationships is being an active listener. If you’re only ever waiting for your turn to speak or trying to prove your partner wrong, there’s clearly room for concern in your marriage. What’s more, try to stay on topic. The argument should be focused on the issue at hand, and not be a rehash of your spouse’s top ten worst messups of all time.
The video made a big splash on TikTok, and here’s what some viewers had to say about the situation
Fakier than fake as usual. They are all magically upgraded (to first class, not even business), they can roam around the plane with many children and enter freely the supposedly first class. They have the most unnatural and absolutely not scripted convos. LoL 😂 Seriously Jonas and the others editors, stop with tiktok, you’re embarrassing yourselves. And by the way, there is a mistake in “Digital creator and businesswoman Jordynn Wynn” It’s “jobless stay at home tiktoker” There, I fixed it for you.
I'm old enough to remember when BP had a bunch of funny pictures, mostly animals and not carp ripped from Reddit AITA and TikTok 🤪 I came here to get a good laugh in the morning. Now I'm just annoyed by the assholery and fakery🙄

Please tell us on which airline passengers in Economy can see anyone in First Class once the aircraft is in the air, let alone see them conversing with someone - I call BS on this whole post
Exactly. After takeoff that curtain is yanked shut ASAP so the crew doesn’t have to constantly deal with “wanderers” trying to go to the forward lav.

I'm tired of seeing these tiktok stories, especially with younger people that don't know how to speak properly: "the babiest baby", and "with no tools". C'mon! I'm losing brain cells reading these. Remove these tiktok stories from BP!!!
The fact that people assume it's flirting because she's pretty is insane. Pretty people like to do normal talk too you know. But I don't get her conclusion to not talk to married men.
As a 40 year old woman I've never though I couldn't or shouldn't talk to a man with a wedding ring. I would not have given up my 1st class seat, their family is their business.
Wow, so men can't talk to women? So by that judgement women can't talk to men either? How about wife needs to chill out abit. I'm sure if it was her talking and the husband came over going on, the comments would be she can talk to who she wants! We need to stop these double standers
And double standards too, while we're at it.

What strikes me most about these fake airline tales is just how unfeasible they are. Most short-haul services in the US and elsewhere don't even have a first-class section, and even if they did the chances of randomly getting upgraded is virtually nil. So many other details as already pointed out label this as just another made up story, and apparently, like most of them, made up by someone with very little experience of flying at all and little or no understanding about how things work.
what crappy airline is where in first class you are seated next to someone ?
Nothing in this post indicated that the wife was upset that she was flirting with the husband. She was upset that he was supposed to be working and was not. He needed the sign from the classic meme "don't talk to me, I have no self-control and will talk to you for hours and get nothing done".
This is freaking sexist. So cause a man is married he isnt allowed to talk to ANY girl ever? I have a few male friends who are married n we still chat it up. Wow this was cringe to read
I cannot imagine being married to someone if I didn't trust them enough to talk to an attractive person of any gender. I understand the wife in this (dubious) situation being angry about being left behind in Economy with the kids while he's up there sipping whiskey, but to be mad that he's speaking with the person sitting next to them? And all the commenters agreeing with the wife! Ridiculous.
The issue is the man leaving his wife because he is going to work. It annoyed the wife that he was chatting instead of working, and the fact that it was to a young woman probably made it worse, but the wife would also have been annoyed had the man been having a long conversation with another guy instead of working. She probably would have been a LOT angrier if the guy was sharing a beer with another guy. So, because of that, should nobody ever strike up a conversation with a married guy, because this married guy just may have been sitting in first class because he promised his wife that he would be working? I guess that some people want to consider "having a conversation while married" to be a criminal activity. Sheesh, only on BP is talking to somebody else on a plane considered to be either criminal or pathological.
Bunch of insecure a*s women on tik tok in those comments man. Yeah, the dudes a d**k but if you don't even trust your partner enough to sit next to another woman on a plane... then why are you with them? You're just as much the problem. My husband is a truck driver & trains other drivers. Most of his students are women... they sleep 3 fr from eachother in a small truck cab for weeks on end. Do I care? Nope. I encouraged him to train women so that they wouldn't get stuck on a truck with some fucken creep & they'd actually get the chance to learn properly. I have never once worried about him doing this. Not. Once. Why? Cause I trust my husband with every ounce of my soul. Life is a lot easier when you're with someone you don't have to babysit. Again, that dude sucks. But all the women in the comments being like "you learned the hard way NEVER to talk to a man with a ring" are pathetic. Pick better lr partners.
Women, we are not in charge of men's behavior. You do not have to avoid talking to a man with a ring so that he doesn't get in trouble with his wife, or whatever this lady's conclusion is. Married men are not children; they don't need to be coddled. And how very isolating! Married people aren't allowed to talk to anyone besides their spouse?
probably fake but the wife might have reacted different if the cute girl was a guy.
Seriously, people are saying she should have gave her seat to the wife. What is the wife entitled? I wouldn’t of. There is a difference between flirting and a innocent conversation. So either he has cheated on his wife before to make her this insecure or the wife has. There is no chance at all I would have given up my seat. The people saying this need to grow up, if you’re that insecure, you need mental help!!!!
I'd personally rather talk to a married man than a single one... Less chance he'll take normal talking as flirting. I'm not that pretty anyway so it's rarely a problem. :D
Ok so this situation aside ( I don't agree with the husband leaving the wife with the kids). Are married people really not allowed to talk to other people of the opposite gender ( or same depending on preference )? I'm the jealous type of woman but that's my issue. I don't expect my husband to not talk to other women. That's crazy. Obviously I don't want him touching or being touched ( that's when I introduce myself) but talking it ok ( I don't love it but I understand that my jealousy is my problem not his )
Um. I will talk to a married man if I want to and he wants to. If their partner doesn’t like it, there’s already trust issues there that need addressing. I won’t, however, make or be receptive to any kind of “move”.
The unhinged people saying the girl should have given her seat to the wife. Not a chance in hell. And never even speak to a dude with a ring? Again, nah. It all sounds like internal marriage issues 101. Thankfully it's most likely fiction.
First off this is fake as s**t.. another typical crappie board panda story.. This website is garbage. Can't wait to block it after I post this.. Secondly, if you actually think that you can't talk to married man, you're either an absolute idiot, You're an absolute idiot..
Sorry Richy but after seeing a few of your err 'entertaining' comments on climate change being a 'scam' maybe you should really have a serious rethink about your life as you come across as a bit of a daft c*nt. Hey maybe not just posting stuff that makes Trump sound like a Pulitzer prize winner is the way forward and then maybe, just maybe your family will get back in touch with you.

Alright, let’s just be crystal clear of the actual issue - and you’re out of your damn mind if you don’t think this is why the wife was pissed …. and this girl is well aware of it even though she didn’t admit it … this lady looks to be in her very early 20’s and she’s a very pretty girl so I’m sure watching your husband having the time of his life talking to this smiling young pretty girl while you’re in hell with 2 toddlers in f*****g coach just screams that your husband has obviously decided he doesn’t feel like living anymore and you of course are more than willing to help him shove off this Earth. If this had been an obviously unattractive lady, this wouldn’t have been a big deal.
Did you seriously just whip out the "boys will be boys" excuse?
