As simple as it sounds, the person you're with is either a "good pilot gf/wife" or "not a good pilot gf/wife".
The former, you'll be ok. The latter, you'll be miserable.
But assuming you haven't given her cause to be jealous, you'll be chewing up an insane amount of time trying to make an insecure person feel secure. When, again if you've given no cause, isn't really your job.

Girlfriends & Relationships
If she is doing this now , imagine a career filled with this ... Do your self a favor and move on , it's takes a strong woman to out up with what we do ESP when you have a house and kids and the Air conditioning breaks while your out of town and she has to handle it ( with out you getting killed in price ) ...
This isn't for everybody... If she is doing this fairly new to you in the career I would say have a serious talk with her and tell her it will always be like this and worse at times ,..
Or leave her now and avoid the divorce and cut me a 30 percent check on saving you the money...
Your welcome

As a woman, I agree with LNL76!
But if you love her communicate your feelings to her. If things change that's wonderful for both of you. But if they don't that's a hard way to live! Trust is very important to any relationship! I hope you both figure it all out..

Or c) she's a cheater or cheating type and therefore naturally doesn't trust anybody else.
But either way, it doesn't sound like she's airline significant other material.

Does anyone else have trouble offering advice without seeing a picture of the girlfriend? 
Seriously though, trust and communication are the touchstone of any relationship. If you don't have that across the country/world the same as you do in the same room, then that's a huge red flag.
My wife had the same apprehension when I was an airline new hire. I dragged her around the northeast on a 5-day trip (back in the days before internet-based yield management and you could non-rev). Seeing me hump through short-turn aircraft changes, short layovers, and FA's 3x my age showed her the reality of the job.
Perception is reality, if she has the wrong perception, maybe you need to work on that. If that's not the problem, run like hell.

Which do you want more? The girl, or the airplane?
Airplanes: don't b!tch and moan, won't fake it, and will take you for a ride in an awesome way.
Girl: expensive, clingy, expensive, drama, expensive, time consuming, expensive, exhausting, expensive, time suck, drama, expensive, gets headaches, drama, fakes it, expensive.
I'd say you dump the broad and fly airplanes.
