Personally - if you were already in my seat that is in almost all cases - an automatic no unless somehow/someway my seat was an inferior seat - and that generally never happens.
I'll consider swapping for another aisle (a window seat is a hard no) - or if Polaris seating, don't ask me to swap to an angled seat (they just seem smaller to me) and don't ask me to go multiple rows behind me.
While it may seem harsh - everyone will survive if not seated together.
