You hear stories of people going to uni and screwing around, doesn't mean everyone will. Also 2 weeks is hardly a big deal whilst being at uni. Some people don't see their bf/gf for a month +.

Let me set the scene,my girlfriend is a newly qualified flight attendent (hold your horses lads its not all its cracked up to be) with the BA. She found out last summer that she was going to start training at the start of this year. When I found out I really wasnt over the moon about it, mainly because of uni and other things I see little of her as it is. Now she had her first flight this week and she has been called to fly tonight. With the way that uni and her flights are I am not going to see her for almost two weeks!

I really dont like this job at all. Yet I dont want to tell her because I know how much she says she wants the job (even if she moaned about it today). The net is littered with stories with stewardess' getting it on while "down route" and basically getting drunk and screwing around behind their boyfriends back.

Anybody got any experience of dealing with this sort of thing?

It wont matter what job she has, if shes going to cheat on you - she'll cheat on you and no worrying or moaning about the job will change that.

If shes a faithful one, she'll be a faithful one. But if you get all paranoid on her arse and put ideas into her head creating some sort of forbidden fruit.. then you'll increase the chances of her straying.

You could purposely plant drugs in her luggage and get her fired from her work, while potentially sending her to prison.

On the bright side, at least she's not a stripper.

It's called being a selfish. You are a bad person, name your cliche, loved too much or too little, last to be picked at netball, felt up on the bus, untill now moments of levity and sucess for other people actually cause you physical pain. You need to find inner peace, try sitting under a tree, or living in a cave or wandering the Australian outback until you meet yourself.

I know it's not much help but if you and her are meant to be in this relationship ie it's strong, then you won't have any problem apart from missing her. If she's the type of person to do that such stuff behind your back, it doesn't matter whether she's in the air, in another country or down the street from you.

Shame really, I ask for advice and all you can do is quote certain lines from "Con Air" at me...

You still with her?

Talk to her about how you feel. But trust her as well. I don't think she'd be thrilled to hear "I dont want you screwing around behind my back" if you can't trust her not to you're either over paranoid, or the relationship is a bit ballsed ebcause you can't trust her.

Reply 31

You should be able to trust her but if not then you need to speak to her

Reply 32

All you can really do is support her with her decision. Trust is vital in a relationship, and this is no exception. If you love her and she loves you too, then there is no need to be worried about her job.

Reply 33

You need to learn to trust her, which it sounds like you don't anyway and what kind of basis is that for a relationship?
If you can't deal with her being away for stretches of two weeks, doing what she likes to do and what makes her happy on the off chance she might cheat on you then you need a serious slap in the face.

Reply 34

If you think she's the type to screw around behind your back, why are you with her? I feel bad for her; she's all excited about a new job and you're putting a downer on it. Try to think of her instead of yourself. Two weeks is really nothing. What if she was in the army or something?

Reply 35

Don't make her give up the job (don't put her in the position where she has to chose). If it's really that hard on you, YOU make the decision and break up with her. If you love too much to do that, support her at her new job. It's not a regular filing job, she must have done a lot of preparation to get it and it's probably her dream. Don't make her give it up.

You guys do realise that the OP was 6 months ago? I'm hoping it's been resolved in some way by now...

Gawd you really ought to get a life and be a bit more independent.TWO WHOLE WEEKS OH NO!:rolleyes:

Seriously,what happens what happens.If she loves you she'll stay faithful.If she's gonna cheat,she's gonna cheat.There's nothing you can do about it.You can tell her to quit her job just because you're worried about her cheating.Firstly,it's selfish and secondly,it just makes you really controlling and more likely to push her away.
