The horror stories are not exaggerated. There have been at least 2 husband/wife couples that have all (4) left, in order to have a better QOL. There has also been at least 2 pilots that are married to other airline pilots, that have also left in order to have a better QOL with their spouses.
If you're looking for any sort of QOL (married to a pilot or not), this is not the place to find it. You will be home more at an airline that has overnights than as even a middle-seniority G4 pilot.
