I was skydiving long before I met my husband, and he has always accepted it as part of who I am. We've managed to have 2 children, stay together for 10 years and still be madly in love. How? We let each other be the people we want to be. For my husband, that means letting me have my own time to go jumping, which includes weeks away for boogies while he stays home with the kids! Then we trade off and he gets to do his thing. Don't let your girlfriend run your life. Eventually you'll hate her.
