Honest opinion?
Pretty unlikely. Sorry. I know one instructor at our school who's first sunday off in two years was a coupla weeks ago! I am in a pretty similar situation to you in that there was a female in my life recently who lived about 100 miles away and basically my working life bolloxed up our relationship before it started.
When yer get into this game you start to realise that the job comes first because you often need to be available for work 7 days a week just to perhaps only reap 4 days of pay due to the weather. Otherwise you'll starve unless you have other financial assets or incomes available to you.
Bleak innit?
Therefore I'd say this:
Do not instruct unless you can...
a) afford to
or
b) give your life to it.
A girlfriend 200 miles away is unlikely to either begin nor want to understand how this fickle and precarious industry works unless she herself is involved with it. If there are any airfields near to her then that could be an option perhaps?
