Long Haul/International Pilots Lifestyle

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you International Pilots doing long haul or medium Haul would share with us what your lifestyle is like. I am keen to find out what the positives and negatives are, of the ones of you who are married or partnered with families. Does your family adjust ok around you being away, how do you find your relationship with your partner is after doing this job for a while.
Is it worth the sacrifice of being away from your family, does the money and time off make up for it. Keen to hear your honest responses.

Thanks
