Not sure about you, but I, like many other pilots am not really a
"group" person. Many groups end up rehashing over and over the details
of their individual experiences. Essentially wallowing in their
collective misery. The fact is that two people in a relationship are
individuals who each have a free will to make decisions. As long as
both have the relationship as a priority, it will survive. If one no
longer values the relationship, it can not continue, no matter how
badly the other wants it to. That's one of those hard facts of life
that's so frustrating. We only have the ability to change our half of
the equation. If the relationship is beyond salvaging, it's time to
decide if we want to be defeated or strengthened by the experience. It
wasn't easy for me. A few years later there are still ocassional stabs
of frustration at what happened, but I'm a better person and I
appreciate what I have a lot more.
