Relationship during first years

Hello everyone! This is my firs post here. I am looking into getting an ATPL, and want to work for airlines. I am portuguese, and am living in Portugal. My decision in terms of becoming a pilot or not is really about family life and my relationship. I am in a loving long term and I am not ready to throw it down the drain because of my job. My question is, will I be jumping around from country to country in the beggining of my career as a pilot? My girlfriend says she would not mind moving to another country, and we have talked about it for long. She and I are both finishing our Engineering degrees (she in Chemical Eng), and so, if we moved, she would find a job and make her career there. This would not be possible, however, if I was moving around a lot, as I don't think I would even be able to ask her to quit her job to move with me. Long haul flying is out of the question for me, even if later on the career, as I want to have children, and do not feel good about spending that much time away from them. Any help is appreciated, even if not completely related to the questions I asked. Thank you, everyone.
