I wouldn't say it's impossible, just difficult, especially if you have kids. Ask any pilot who's married a flight attendant (there are more than a few!). You make the decisions that are necessary and right. I applaud my friend for his incredible commitment to family.
I figured that we wouldn't have much of a choice but to try it, if it became too much and wasnt working out, the only way to avoid divorce would be to change lifestyle to make it work in the family life regieme.

Well said, didn't think about before, It is very relationship specific wheather it works out or not. And again, if things are not working out, you have one heck of a cross-roads ahead.
Thanks again!!
