Part 121 airline job ain't got nothin on what life can really throw at a marriage. And I'm only 31. Aviation is tough on a marriage but you got to make sure you marry a woman that is willing to tolerate the life style and can adapt to any situation.
Sorry for your loss, however a 121 job DOES have something to throw at a marriage. As I mentioned previously your significant other has to understand your absence. I've moved over 5 times, furloughed, bankrupt twice been through four base closers and a terrible merger..it's easy to pinball around when you're rolling solo, however once you get married it's not as easy. My wife seems happier now but it's been tough. Who knows, maybe she's ordering extra anchovies?
