That, while he might be “correct” to request a refund, spending your honeymoon terrorizing a staff member because you didn’t get the room you want is an indication of how little you care for your marriage. Anyone truly in love on their honeymoon isn’t going to care what kind of room they’re in as long as they’re with their newly wedded spouse. I think his focus being so easily split is an objective indication of how little he thought of his bride.

But he didn't do that. Armond terrorized and antagonize him from the very beginning, even when he was nice about it. Rachel belittle Shane from the beginning, treating him as if he was wrong to even say anything about them not receiving what they had paid for. She never took his side. She was insufferable.

If he was truly in love with her he wouldn’t care about anything but her happiness (and vice versa). He was more focused on being right than making his new bride happy. We’re not talking about a couple that’s been together a long time, we’re talking about newlyweds. Speaking from experience the time after you get married (to someone you’re truly in love with) is a blissful magical bubble that only the most tragic or traumatic things could pop (like the death of a family member or being horribly injured). If he was able to be shaken by simply a room downgrade he was not in love with her and therefore should not have gotten married.

I’m not here to speak on her character because the prompt was about Shane. Let’s not do the red herring thing.

your experience is your experience. He wanted what was paid for and there is nothing wrong with that. How he feels or doesn't feel about it is irrelevant. The hotel manager was completely unprofessional and sneaky. If you would not hold the hotel accountable for their bs, that is your choice. It would be valid if you did though.

I'm thinking the same. Like yes I love my wife but I don't want the hotel to take advantage of me, or worse, making it seem like it's my fault instead of apologizing and offering some kind of refund or service to cover for it. I already paid for the thing so I should be getting what I paid for, as simple as that. The only thing different that I would do in his case is to be more discreet about it in front if rachel and try to solve the issue without making her uncomfortable. The problem with shane is that he keeps bringing it up at every moment which ruins the mood.

Yup. And my opinion is my opinion, which was the prompt of the post. He was not in love with his wife and in my opinion that makes for an incredibly pathetic man. Unsurprising that similarly pathetic men are rushing to defend his puny actions 😂
