thank-you all. the info so far is really great. we definitely have and continue to strive for equality in our relationship, which is why i have been prepared to handle whatever comes my way while he takes on school and this new career but right now we've decided to weigh everything and decide if aviation is the best route for BOTH of us as opposed to just him. of course, i do very much know that it *is* for both of us in the long run, but hopefully you know what i mean. anyway, he's so wonderful about everything. i would NEVER ask him not to go this route because i firmly believe that you have to do what you're passionate about. with that said, however, he does have other options that interest him as well so futher pursuing this is not a *must* (as in he could be just as happy strictly doing it recreationally). that is why i am trying to figure out.....is it worth it??? some say yes, some say not. how about this - if your SO did not have a need for this as his career, would you be relieved/glad/thrilled, etc to see him go a different route??? just tossing questions around, i guess that may be too rhetorical to fully answer(?).
