Indifferent partner
A query to all you married/partnered pilots out there.
I am happily married for 10 yrs to a wife that has always embraced my hobbies/interests. I don't mean that she actively involved herself, (neither of us would want that) but she has always been interested whenever I discussed my activities. That is until I started my PPL training a couple of months back. She has always been aware of my passion for flying and knew that some day I was going to "follow the dream" as they say. But, she just doesn't want to know. It's not the money, we've been through that. Tonight I was telling her about my lesson and how breathtaking the sight of the runway lights were on approach to landing ( my first time ever seeing them) but she was simply not interested.
This is a bit disappointing and I won't get hung up over it. I just wonder if she is listening to friends etc. who repeatedly speak of how "mad I am getting into one of those things, only one engine, too small blah,blah,blah."
Is she simply convinced that I've chosen a dangerous hobby?
Any insight would be a big help.
