To not want to go to the airport 3 hours before?

Since we started dating he has always been strict about time keeping. Was always very early to our dates and he's on the spectrum.

We are going for a long weekend next week, the flight is 2 hours. He says he wants to go 3 hours before the flight.

I don't want to do this. I haven't come from a family that spent 3 hours in the airport and I never go earlier than 2. I see it as a waste of time.

But it seems ridiculous not to go together. On the other hand, why should I agree to go at his time?

If going a bit earlier means he can relax and enjoy it then why not?

feeling rushed to get the the airport would make the whole thing more stressful for me

But I just feel like this one starter trip will be me indulging him 3 hours before forever.

It's my day off too.

What's his reasoning?

If he gets super anxious then why not indulge him and go for a nice lunch or dinner or shopping there, you don't want to start the holiday with one person very stressed
