She wasn't online? All the more reason to dump the cave woman then!
Actually, Skype has an option for working with land lines as well, but the three hour calls are the real issue, more so than what they cost!

bit of a curve ball this one. I had similar problem with my missus. What it came down to was that she cared about us so much that she was so afraid that the situation would split us up. When it came down to it she really didn't want me to quit, in the longterm she reall wanted me to succeed and chase my dream it just didnt come across that way at the begining. She just needed some reassurance and also some support for her. Everyone has different circumstances, this is just another perspective.

Well done Oveur. You won't regret it and like a post above so rightly says, women do need some reassurance and support when it comes down to it so bear that in mind but at the same time don't let compassion turn into weakness! 
Perhaps we should start somesort of forum for the WAG widows. They can all ahve a chat about their insecurities and face them together. Is this a good idea or asking for trouble?

I was in an identical situation to you, girlfriend of 3 years. I had a lame job and wanted something more.
I was on the CTC scheme and went to NZ for the best part of a year. Granted she cheated on me while I was away, which wasnt great and we then broke up but I'm now with the most amazing girl, flying planes and overwhelmingly happy. I shudder to think what would have happened if I hadn't gone.
If you don't do this flying course I'm going to come round to your house, pack your things, put you in a bag and force you to do it. I'm not joking. You will only regret it. Imagine if this girl leaves you 6 months down the line after you've sacrificed your dream? Not worth considering.

Just thought i would put my two pence in, as a girl - you have to remember she gave the ultimatum once so there is nothing stopping her doing it again... I know you are only at the beginning - but say you get your dream LHS with the dream airline - whats to stop her turning round and doing the whole "its either me or the airline".....
Fair enough you have sorted it out already - but just remember, old arguments never fully go away with girls.....
/devils advocate mode......
