Think Dartangion hit the nail on the head, post a pic and we will be able to give you better advice, we could even organise a poll among the wannabe's!!!!

All joking aside, women have totally messed up my flying training. I originally wanted to go to FTE and I came home one night to the g/f in tears, and being told to "just F*** off to Jerez then". Needless to say I went modular at the local flying school, still at it due to the wx here. Then, yes you guessed it I come home and she says she met somone else!!!!! biatche!

Next up met another lass and moved in with her, she told me that moving in meant moving in so I wasn't allowed to even stay one night in my own apartment even if I was on the lash and out with the boys. So no chance of going away to do training. Eventually I ditched her as she was too clingy.

At this point I was single, no ties and enjoying my flying more than ever. Had booked to do my IR away from home. Guess what? I meet a girl about 3 weeks before IR starts, She doesn't want me to go or at least come home at weekends. Had to make the obligatory 3 hour phone call every night when she blurts out that she was pregnant!!!! OMG, put IR on hold and came straight back. Turns out a false alarm. Eventually took me about 4 months to finish IR.

I am single now and intend to stay single for a long time now, just hanging about now waiting on the wx for the CPL and I'm done. If only I had went to FTE I would have been finished 2years ago. I don't resent the girls for it but myself for letting them dictate to and manipulate me. Yes girls will come and go but the LHS is a more difficult nut to crack.

So oveur, from my experience I would change my route and have gone with my original plan of action, your g/f may be able to compromise. Remember to factor in the cost of phone calls from SA back to home and limit it to 10 mins every night. It cost me an absolute fortune in my 3 hour phone calls every night. Good luck.
