I guess I figure he can make sacrifices for me the way I have for him. When he decided to train as a pilot we were already married with a baby, a nice house, a nice car and settled happy life near family and friends and plenty of money. We sold everything and I moved away from everyone with a 1 year old, and then again when she was 2, and then again at 2.5 and again at 3.. spent lots of time living with relatives and renting houses and then moved again at 3.5 and now we've moved to France just before her 4th birthday to somewhere I don't know, with no friends, no car, no money and I don't even speak the language. I can't get anywhere when he's working, so all I can do is sit in the apartment and wait for him to come home. We now have £70,000 worth of debt.. about $140,000. My stepfather has taken on that debt so that we can make lower payments while he's earning very little this next 6 months or so. I figure him staying in the hotel room chatting to me to keep me from going nuts while he's away is just the beginning of him paying me back..
