If it's any help, my first instructing job including working weekends, and was 250 miles from my girlfriend. What's more, I actually moved away from the area she lived to take the job.
She used to visit me on weekends. I used to visit her on my days off. When we visited each other, we only saw each other evenings (unless the weather was bad and I couldn't work, of course). When I visited her, I at least had other friends in the area to visit when she was working. When she visited me, she didn't know anyone else in the area, so spent most of the day hanging around the airfield getting to know all the regular students!
Six months after I started the job, she moved in with me. That was 2 1/2 years ago. Next month we celebrate our first wedding anniversary.
