40-year-old wife demands husband and 6-year-old daughter decline invite to Hawaii due to her fear of flying, husband debates going without her if she doesn't change her mind: 'It's best for my daughter'

A marriage means being considerate of another human being through it all. You vow to be there in sickness and in health, for better, and for worse.

So when you feel as though a sensitive part of your partner's life could be holding you back, it can be difficult to look within yourself and remember standing on the altar and making those promises. Although, how does one navigate an issue that means always putting their partner ahead of themselves, and in this case, their children, too? 

As individuals, we all have blessings and struggles that make us different. Our interests and talents may not consistently align, nor will our biggest fears. However, in a relationship, just as you cannot always imitate their talents, you should not be expected to share their fears, or necessarily avoid seizing great opportunities that life throws your way because of them…

So when this wife refuses to go on a trip to visit her in-laws in Hawaii, due to her flight anxiety, she is making sure that neither her husband nor their daughter boards that plane without her. However, this is not an opportunity that comes around every day, so does she have the right to stop her family from making incredible memories because she can't gather the courage to take flight?
