Divorce Rate Among Pilots?

[Corona]

The problem today is people get married way to early, and have no respect for the sanctimony of marriage.

[Ahem] I think you refer to the "sanctity" of marriage....

Though I would agree that having no respect for the sanctimonious in marriage is a good thing. Or elsewhere.

the airline life style won't ruin an otherwise good marriage. It will accelerate the end of a bad one.

Been married for almost eleven years. Have three kids, mortgage, care note, blah, blah. Anyway, I started this pilot stuff recently where I am gone. Our marriage has actually been stronger because we appreciate each other that much more now. It's all what you make of it.

And there's no way I'm going anywhere and leaving my kids behind.

Actually, I found this job made it easy to put up Bi-Polar Betty. Gone 3-4 nights a week, it's easy to put up with anyone. Almost. Wish I bailed on #1 sooner. Number 2 and last is a treat!

You know it's over when you hear these tell tale phrases:

If you had a real job....

You don't work, try doing somethings around the house!

You LIKE your job!

And the #1 way to know it's over..............When you finally get tired of getting shot down in public and you utter THESE fateful words:

"Shut the F@@@ up" in front of her parents.
Divorce and lawyers 300G's
The look on her face, Priceless!

Just get the first divorce out of the way before you get the final job with the pension and big bucks. It really worked well for me and really take your time on the second wife for the same reason. That pension works out a lot better when you don't have to split it down the middle. Took 20 years looking for wife 2 now getting ready to celebrate our 16 year anniversary.

I see you're retired. You are one of the lucky last ones to get the big bucks and a pension! Good for you
I have been with my fiance now for almost 8 years (no rush). She knows all about the bs I am about to embark on and she stands by me (at least for now)

I'll second being gone being good for the marriage. Pushing 18 years now and spent about 40% of it on the road. I think we talked more on long distance phone calls than we do when we are together...tough on the kids though...daughter hated the 12 on, 2 off especially when I was on the road all summer.

33 years flying and 33 years married. If that makes me a bible thumper so be it. No shame in that. I assure Whaleroast I'm not a wimp. I think many divorces stem from one individual being a pompus a$$. So maybe whaleroast would be a better one to ask about that.

40 years flying and 37 years married to the original. Not sure how to take someone who asserts that wedding vows are only for a wimp and/or "bible thumper".

40 years flying and 34 years married to the same lady for me.
