This forum is for non aviation related topics, political debate, random thoughts, and everything else that just doesn't seem to fit in the normal forums. ALL FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.
about a year ago i went through a serious case of A.I.D.S. and the one thing it teaches you besides the fact you were with the wrong person is, what's important to you. now right now as i type this i have THE most PERFECT woman and maybe even more importantly a new perspective. for me i'm not willing to spend my whole life chasing the same aviation dream i had when i was in my teens. i'll tell you what i want, a job where i can look myself in the mirror every morning and a job that lets me come home to a kick ass lady.(atleast every 3 weeks) and the minute i realized this, stuff started happening for me.(aviation wise and love life wise) it's about balance boys, aviation will NEVER love you back. and what's the point of being in a business that will leave you with a life time of stories if there's no one at home to share them with. just my two sence. find out what' s important to you and go after that.
later.

if you and your woman (or whatever) break up and it comforts you to say it was b/c u were a pilot.....fine
Not picking a fight here.
But the excuses of moving around and that opportunities are sometimes there for pilots it's basically a character flaw if you cheat and a lack of real commitment in the beginning.
Don't use the crutch that we are sooooo different. It's a job, a career even but a 747 won't give me everything....
If she's the right one...you wouldn't do it. If she was almost the right one you wouldn't get caught. If she wasn't the right one....have at 'er and enjoy the perks of this shitty game.
BUT, if you are going to marry- go Korean. It's still a culture where the women respect their husbands, and don't divorce them if the men treat them as equals.
Any others care to share their insight? I would share my thoughts however they are changing and I don't yet have enough grasp of it to place it in words.
A. AIDs = AIDS if you own the woman, you have no control of the relationship, she does, she's the one who needs to say she owns/has the perfect guy, no shit she's perfect, but are you??
Secondly, again, "leading with the cock" doesn't matter, you need her heart or her cunt to be leading her to you...
If you really love the man you would move and follow him anywhere, yeah you have to give up your career and family/friends but in the end if he is truly the one you love and want to spend everyday of your life with MOVE YOUR DAMN BUTT just make sure he is the one or your in a shit hole, living in a basement apartment by yourself w/ no friends and family.
this thread seems to repeat itself every so often on here. People blaming the relationship woes on the industry.
Moving around is a bitch, and following someone around is very sweet...BUT, he or she doing the following better be taking care of themselves as well. Following does not mean giving up on your own goals and dreams....maybe postponing them a bit, but that's it. Compromise, not utter sacrifice. The person you are with doesn't want you to lose who you were when they met you... if they do, then they are not "the one" and basically just want a security blanket to drag around.
Basically. don't become an appendage, but a partner. It should be symbiotic, not parasitic - or as close as you can get if you are both wing nut pilots ( )
Good post Water wings, I agree w/ you Now a days everyone has to move , look at YQT hardly any jobs out there especially well paying jobs, Either you go to college and learn something new or you move. I believe no matter where you go if you love the person you can find happiness, but then again i never moved for a pilot
