I know what you're going through, bro, and it ain't easy.

I was going through the same crap myself about a year ago; spending time away from my girl all the time to take care of a bunch of commitments I had, one of those being to finish my flight training. Long story short, I saw her 3 days a month for 5 months and then spent 10 solid weeks away from her finishing my training.

In the end we split up after about 3 and a half years, just a few weeks shy of me proposing to her and moving in with her.

I don't honestly think that this career and the lifestyle that comes with it was worth that sacrafice. You've gotta make that decision about what makes you happy and what you want out of life, though. Good luck man.
