Reply to comment by farscry in [WP] Two men sit next to each other on a red-eye flight out of Small Town back to Big City on Christmas Eve. Turns out they've both just been dumped by their fiancées of 5+ years, and are the unwitting antagonists of two different Hallmark original movies. by Scondoro

Oh my god an entire plane of Hallmark villains

Can we really them villains? They all had very reasonable motive,

Patrick wants to spend a nice evening with his SO, after not seeing her for so long.

John is trying to help take off he stress of his SO after suddenly having to run her family business.

Tim didn’t want to live in a place with no job prospects or opportunity for him.

Jeff, doesn’t want to upend his entire life and throw away 20 years of hard work for something his SO became interested in in less than week.

Paul, is working so hard to not just support both them but also pay for a home.

I hope they all become good friends, cause they all honestly seem like genuine solid guys. All screwed over by romantic parters who didn’t appreciate them.

Probably start a club or something

That was my intention; rarely does a relationship run into one-sided failures as too many of these movies portray, but rather it's two people failing to see from the other's perspective. So I sort of double-twisted the prompt: filled the plane with antagonists while humanizing them. :)
