I am indeed lucky but she's not a pilot; she is just OK with flying, both herself as a passenger (so long as I stay out of turbulence, which makes flight planning quite tricky sometimes) and with me going off to fly somewhere without her. She's a university postgrad lecturer/researcher.
All I am getting at is that it is possible to have a relationship with a woman without her screwing you down. I could get quite cynical about marriage / divorce etc etc but at the same time I believe a man does have control of his destiny of the relationship front, and he should exercise that option.
