I know that the first years will probably be the worst always being away from each other. I also know that how much time we get to spend together on a month to month bases will depend on our luck in the scheduling department. She is from DFW and I am from SMF. I like DFW and wouldn’t mind living there. Any suggestions?? Any been there..done that tips?? Thanks
3 words for you:
Don't do it!
Why?
1. Too young
2. Wait until you get out of ERAU and are not under the influence of "Riddle Vision". You'd be amazed at how your perceptions of the opposite sex will change. TRUST ME!
3. As a regional pilot you will not be able to afford the alimony and spousal maintenance if things take the most statistically probable outcome.
4. Why do it? As a male you have NO advantage whatsoever to get married, only disadvantages.
The best recommendation I can give you is to tune your radio to 101.5 FM on weekday afternoons. He will teach you a few things that ERAU doesn't
PS. By the way, NO, I am not divorced. (or married)
