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.
Aviation is a cold but sweet mistress. I also learned the hard way...6 year relationship down the tubes because of aviation opportunities. Your not alone man...I'm sure there are hundreds of other stories like mine out there....if there is a bright side, after you get over the initial low, you can focus on moving forward and redouble your efforts to make your life better and advance. I've seen it in quotes from a forum member, something like " Living well is the best revenge "
Good luck man...

Sometimes I think it's a shame when I get feelin' better when I'm feelin no pain.
Been there about 6 months ago, after 5 year relationship. Hurt first, but now....realized it was for the best. Having a blast, no strings attached, see who I want, sleep where I want... you know how the story is. Not being comitted to anyone in particular is the way to go in this industry. There is nothing worse than being on the road, and having someone home. Now it feels like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. It takes a special mate to deal with the crap of aviation and obviously, yours wasn't.
And remember, there is always someone out there if you need to be kept warm at night

Never point your aircraft to some place your brain hasn't already been 5 minutes earlier.
Well, if you didn't lose half your house, pension, possessions, you're miles ahead of the married guy.
Like my boy stated when he was little and missed an airplane flying overhead, "There'll be another one"
Yeah, still married but while I've been gone favourite chair has been banished to the basement. It was the only thing in the house that I could call mine.
#1 - I know that it hurts. I've been there. After a while, the pain will dull, and you'll gain the perspective that'll make it all make sense.
#2 - Without knowing the exact circumstances, if she left you because of aviation-related circumstances, then she wasn't the right one. If she was, she'd stick with you as you follow your dream. When you find the right one, your dreams will include her being next to you!

Please don't tell my mother that I work in the Oilpatch...she still thinks that I'm the piano player at a whorehouse.
Been there, done that. From the perspective of a cranky old guy:
It's easy to confuse love and lust. In a few years, you'll have trouble remembering what this bitch even looked like.
Don't confuse being lonely with being horny. If you're lonely, get a dog, they're a far better and more loyal companion than any female bald ape you're going to meet in a singles bar.
As far as being horny goes, well, there's a saying that "free" tail is the most expensive kind. If the bitch didn't clean out your bank account, you're doing just fine.
Thank you Yoyoma and Haz for the avatars. I think I'm going blind.
After recouperating from my hangover today, I went into the sim at school with an instructor. I should be finished Sault College by next Sunday if things work out properly. I'm gonna focus on my Multi-IFR flying over the next week, and I'll hopefully forget about how disappointed I am.
Thanks for all of the kind words of support. I never thought I'd be turning to a virtual source for support, but I'm glad I did.
if life has taught me one thing repeatedly its that laughter is the best medicine.... laughter and sex with hot girls. i can help you with the first one then youre on your own.
Good luck. http://www.angelfire.com/gu/sucktodd/noidea.htm
