You never know where this dilemma will take you. There are no guarantees in life. My ex went loco and I had to litigate her into supervised visitation. Now I have a nanny and stay home every minute of the day that I'm not flying. To top it off I have a special needs child. I manage all of this and still manage to stay happy! If I can handle all of this certainly someone can manage to be a pilot's wife. I don't want to be negative about aviation, but there are alot of starry eyed peole who get into this and then can't hack it. There are good jobs out there but are you willing to live in a crashpad or be borderline homeless on the road for 20K? You have some hard, broke years to be sure coming down the pipe. There are good jobs still but you can't count on them.

My 2 cents.
