I think why some are reacting negatively to this post is that you didn´t sound at all worried about Nat. It´s a fine line between letting her make her own decisions and not caring one way or the other! Of course you should let her decide, but a normal reaction to this situation (i.e. your wife being caught in a war zone and needing to rely on a taxi driver to bring her to safety) would be WORRY. Not “wanting to go back to sleep!”

[...] As I mentioned earlier today Nat arrived at the Damascus airport around 1:40PM. Her flight takes off at 9PM so she wasn’t able to check in until after 7PM. I spoke to her on the phone and she told me the airport is a disaster. Its understaffed, overcrowded and it seems like there is no AC even. She told me a lot of Gulf nationals were panicking and having nervous breakdowns and that the situation at the airport is unbearable.

Nats family are OK. They are not going to evacuate or anything. The bombings are taking place in Hezbollah strongholds which are mostly located in the south and are far away from where Nats parents live.

its just between you and nat .. this is so rude from the ppl up there ^ to say such things!!!
ofcaurse you do care!! maybe the thing “I was half asleep and wanted to go back to sleep.”
but stillll who have the right to judge!!
all i care about is nat safety any thing else is between you and nat. and we all should RESPECT that!

So because I am letting her make the choice on what she wants to do thats not caring for her? According to your philosophy she shouldnt have been travelling period, she should have been locked up her at home cooking and cleaning for me while I go out and work.
