You are lucky.
There are divorced sailplane owners living in their glider trailers.

I don't usually brag, but dang, I've got it good! My ol' lady has
supported my flying disease for over 20 years now. Three gliders, a
Cessna, a homebuilt, significant money donated to various club causes.
She even happily participates, though not quite at the level she once
did (Ceasar Creek spoiled her for the lack of facilities at most gliding
sites). She crews when I need it, even to the point of eating gnats in
the rain at Cordele for a week at a time (and that's with no cushy motor
home). She flies with me in the club two seater and she even has a few
solo flights in a 1-26 in her log book. She loves our soaring friends
(really one of the main reasons we stay in this stupid sport). She helps
with club functions too. On top of that, she still looks fantastic in a
bikini. She's never asked for any reciprocal spending and she's frugal
with our money. I try to pay attention and not be too clueless when it
comes to her wants. I like to believe that surprising her with a new car
and signing us up for ballroom dance lessons were particularly astute
gestures on my part.
