Back in August when my s/o started his avionics program, he began travelling to and from classes with a fellow classmate. She is the only female in the program, and she too is going on after graduation to join the military. They call each other to compare grades when they get posted to their college online accounts. They call each other to help out if they figure out a complex problem and know the other person is trying to figure it out as well. Its really been a great friendship to develop for the two of them considering their career paths. They will graduate together, they will attend basic training together and they will go on to take the 8 month course after that to learn weapons systems (aviation). So for better or worse, they will be with each other daily for 2 years of school and another year minimum for training on the job. Beyond that, she may be posted somewhere completely different than us but likely we'll all be posted to the same military base.
I'm glad that s/o has someone to relate to who is on the same path as him. It is a very different agenda that they have than those students entering to civilian aviation careers.
Having said all that, I now affectionatly refer to her as "Your other Girlfriend"
I have decided that I can sort of relate to cultures that have multi wife relationships. She can relate to and understand his frustrations at complex problems in his school work. She can do the same with his aviation fascination, whereas I get how much enjoys it but don't share an interest. What a relief to know he has someone to talk to about that stuff who GETS it. Because I can try to fake it all I like, but it simply doesn't interest me. I'm very interested in how he is doing academically and support him in his goals 100%. But I simply can't engage in meaningful conversation on something I know nothing of, Know what I mean??
Then, the icing on the cake??? His Other Girlfriend has ensured all kinds of extra time for him and I to spend together. Her picking him up and dropping him off daily cuts 3 hours of travel time by city transit. I love it! But the very very best part??? Every single morning, she arrives promptly (never late) and rings the doorbell and hands s/o a steaming hot cup of coffee from my favorite coffee shop (I have a addiction to that coffee). No more early morning walks in the wintery months of the Canadian north for me to get my morning caffeine! I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, strictly for this woman, being the only exception I'll ever make, my s/o has my complete support to have another girlfriend
