She may find someone else that isn't a pilot, but he may have a bunch of other traits that she despises and then realize a pilot wouldn't have been so bad. You may quit flying and then resent her and ruin your relationship. It's definitely something that needs to be talked about and worked out before you take the next step. Too many people say "well, let's just get through the wedding and then I'll be able to make him/her change their mind." |
we talk about this stuff on a daily basis...if your having that much trouble and really want to follow this career path, then she should be accepting of at least going out and talking to the ladies that do it on a daily basis.. that would be us...if she's not even willing to "try" then that's a decision you have to make between girl and/or career. No "person" is worth your happiness...you should always find a mate that will always support you in anything you want to do in life. sometimes it just takes a bit more massaging and compromise, but in the end, that's just how it works.
I know this is the 2nd time we've mentioned bringing her over to jetgirls to talk to us ladies that live the other side on a daily basis... if your not going to listen to us and aren't willing to do your part in helping her get informed, it's not going to work. it takes 2 (at all times), to make this type of relationship work.
