Hey there,
I know its tough. I have been with my pilot for 2 years and still find it difficult when he is away sometimes. Usually the first day is the toughest for me. Especially when he leaves on my weekends off.

I have been at work quite a few times when the BF was on an overnight in Vegas or Atlantic City gambling or hanging at the beach. Dealing with the whole FA thing can be a little annoying, but he is committed to you and you have to trust him if it will work. And I bet a lot of those FA's probably have boyfriends/husbands as well (or they may be gay).

This is the thing I have found...if your not super happy in your career it is going to be harder for you because you tend to look at his career as 'exciting' and your career as 'work'. Its good to keep busy, but I am working on feeling good without having to go out or fill up my time with activities. Thats tiring too! All in all, this is the job. He will go to different places. Sometimes he'll have enough time to go out and experience these places and most the time he won't. Try and find a career that truly makes you happy whether its being a SAHM or a lawyer. And get out there and travel a little. Go on a trip or two with him and see what its like. It really can put things into persepctive.

I have realized that dating a pilot is not just dating a guy, its dating a whole different lifestyle, and its a tough adjustment if your not used to the industry (i was/am not used to it). But, I love my pilot and think he is the greatest guy I have ever met, and I would be much more miserable without him...
