It’s like she goes into slow motion at home the day of the flight.
LW, do you give your wife any real say in whether she goes to visit the cabin every single month?
One of us can’t really get on a plane without the other.
I'm guessing you don't. My guess is that she does not enjoy the monthly cabin trips and she's pushing back by cutting it close, which puts you on edge.
LW, you are basically spending at least one entire day (if not 2) travelling to and from your cabin (waiting 2+ hours in an airport, a 2 hour flight, plus however long it takes to drive to the cabin). 1 to 2 days a month is a lot of time spent in transit, especially if you're only staying 2-3 days each visit.
You and your wife found a compromise that lets you leave something you don't particularly enjoy but she does (the monthly family gatherings). So maybe it's time you compromise on these cabin trips. Either go by yourself, or cut back the cabin visits but stay longer to make the hassle of travelling worthwhile.
