Why? I am sitting at Haneda airport on our flight back to Singapore right now, next to my wife. She flies Business, I am in Y. On way in she was in F on SQ (ticket bought on miles, obviously).
And this is standard setup - if we are flying together on long haul flights and there is an option to have her to fly in business - I will always do it.
Don't get why this could be relationship no-no. If you can do nice thing to your spouse by letting her flying with more comfort and knowing that she would appreciate it more - why don't do it? What is the problem?

And I would never accept it the other way around either (me in the upper cabin, him in coach).
So if both can't enjoy upgrade/comfort, then none should? I really feel sorry for people who are in relationship with people with this twisted logic...
