I simply would not be able to travel with this woman. Doing so would spike my anxiety to 11. I travel quite a bit and just pay for lounge access because I prefer to get the airport with plenty of time to spare so that I don't have to stress.
There can be reasonable differences of opinion on how much time one needs at the airport—I am definitely on the long end—but if you are consistently missing flights or abandoning luggage in your car to avoid missing flights, that is not a reasonable choice. I agree that LW needs to do his own thing, but his wife needs to reevaluate her behavior, with a therapist if necessary.
