Dick, George, Bob, Mary, Leslie, Greg, etc. Maybe not, but I do know a number of women student friends who were told by their husbands that they were "forbidden" to go back to school. Some of those women are now single and have their degrees and a good job and some of them are killing themselves studying, earning a living, taking care of the kids, house and somehow keeping their husbands appeased. These poor ladies have to beg for a few hours to study, even though, if the couple COULD work together, HER degree could benefit them both. Sigh. And Bob, sometimes it is the woman who ends up with the financial can of worms. Mary is correct, none of these problems are a function of gender. And BTW, just in general, why wouldn't people pick partners with whom they have common interests (addictions), be it flying, golf, football, oil painting, bird watching, or whatever? Don't bother trying to answer. It's a rhetorical question. Successful "Relationships" has to be one of the most difficult things humans are confronted with and I'm certainly no expert. My personal track record has been less than exemplary. I have been recently spending a lot of time with a wonderful man who I have been friends with for some time. Our mutual interest in aviation is what led to us developing a friendship in the first place. As I've said, I don't have the money for lessons right now, but I do go flying with my friend as often as we can. I always learn from him although since he's not a CFI, it can't be a real lesson. He is, however, a certified, for real A&P and will soon probably get his IA also. So I am also learning all about the guts of a small plane from an expert mechanic who is also a patient, gentle teacher. I can't remember being happier than I am when we're up in the plane together. And I like working on the planes with him almost as much. So you see, I am a woman who is nutty about all things aviation related. I truly like the MACHINES as much as I like what they allow us to do. Hanging out with someone who has the same addiction, except in him, it's highly developed through experience, is the best! Then we have our own, local resident WASP. When she was a young woman, she flew planes that the rest of us probably won't get much beyond fantasizing about: T-6s, P-51s, P-40s, P-38s, etc. She is so sweet and unassuming. I love to get her talking about her flying experiences.
