I would never accept the whole 'let's take a break'. I say that and think about my situation. If he ever suggested that I wouldn't hang around. I hate to think that we all hang on the word of our pilots just because they said so.

Yeah... it seems like when things get tough is when people decide to 'take a break'.. but doesn't all the hard crap and getting through the hard crap what strengthen a relationship? Tough times give foundation and security because a couple knows they went through them in the past and know they can get through it again if they had to.

Of course... every situation is different..

I agree with that completely. That was exactly my thought. To me, the whole point of going through the training with him was so that we could both be comfortable with our relationship, and if I couldn't deal with him not being around, then at least I would know that our relationship couldn't work. I think the break thing was dumb, trust me, but when it came down to it, I was supportive. I would never let a man suggest a "break" to me before, but this time I was just trying to help. IDK, maybe I have turned into a pushover. lol But he and I are going to be talking soon, so I will keep you all posted. Thanks mucho!!!

someone correct me if i'm wrong.

OK, So I asked Walt, SR AME for 37yrs and this is all he does now, takes care of the medical needs of pilots and serves as the Medical Liason for JC: He says if you have medical condition that disqualifies you from flight of one air plane, it is disqualifying in all planes. See the following site from the FAA regs:

FAA - Aviation Medical Examiner

Will be interesting to hear the full story.........Maybe he is upset that you talked about it here and he might be "found out"????? ( I want to think the best but....?)

Hey there, I am just catching up on things, and only hope the best for you...every lady on here has given great advice...

I think that you just really need to take take a BIG step back and look in on your relationship...look out for you dear...

I think someone who thinks he needs to make it official that you're on a relationship "break" because he's going to be gone for a few weeks is either confused or cowardly. Or a dink.

Confused because he doesn't understand you can be in a relationship and still pursue an individual passion with full attention.

Cowardly because he just won't break up. (Three weeks? three weeks needs a "break"? My ass.)

Dink if he just wants to be able to pursue other romantic (or sexual) interests while he's in a different zip code, but while you're in the area, he'll take what you give him.

This sounds bitchy, I know, but what you wrote had me automatically irritated with him.

I could be wrong.

Yeah, I think seatclutcher pretty much summed that one up for the situation.

Kristie · 10-27-2007, 12:13 PM

so?? did you get a chance to talk to him yet and if so, what was the outcome?

My hubby's home for a few more days and is still offering to check him out for you.
