Re: Fellow Pilot Girlfriend! I was reading through this post a little bit and I agree with everyone how being married to, engaged to, or dating a pilot is all about quality time. it took me a little time before i actually understood this because when my DF was first away alot, i would sometimes feel like i was missing out on a lot with regards to a relationship and i would sometimes feel slightly abandoned (on days that i was having a hard time with things). it takes some time to get used to this unique relationship and plus with things constantly changing, I don't think a person can ever [i:da1dbebb89]totally[/i:da1dbebb89] get used to this lifestyle but I can't imagine being with anyone else so we make it work.
i guess eventually you just learn to deal with it all somehow. plus it never hurts to look at the positive side of things. i mean, i get great travel benefits and my DF looks really good in his uniform, and I can do things at home by myself that I would never do if he were home, like leave the dirty laundry on the floor or forget about the dishes, or that kind of thing. |
