ADRNALN 0 #1 June 26, 2002 you know it is not nearly as easy as you would think to cutaway a whuffo girlfriend. She just does not get it. I really like her and want to stay great friends but there is no way I will give up the freedom of flight and my new life and friends at the DZ for anything.

Slappie 9 #4 June 26, 2002 Dude!! I hear ya! I had a falling out at the DZ with my whuffo GF during the TSR Meet at the DZ a few weeks ago. I told her to either support me and get used to the way things are or we'll never make it. Basicaly I told her "Don't make me choose between my skydiving family, and you.. You will loose..." It's tough but she supports me and my skydiving.. Now all I gota get her to understand is. She doesn't have to come to the DZ with me ALL the time. She can go find something else to day. I mean I'd hate to be dragged off to a sewing, book reading, makeup party or whatever whuffo women do in their spare time. Good luck my sky-brother!!

AndyMan 7 #5 June 26, 2002 Don' be so quick.... I dated a whuffo for over a year while skydiving. If you love her, then try to make things work. Compromises are the basis of every relationship. I don't mean give up skydiving, but with my ex I would spend one day of the weekend with her, usually sundays. I'd spend friday night and saturday at the DZ. Only cuttaway if she's not willing to be flexible. You need your airtime, and she needs to understand that. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

ADRNALN 0 #6 June 26, 2002 There was no compromising. And we sat on the problem for about 2yrs., actually since my second AFP. Plus I and sweet on someone that actually gets it.

ADRNALN 0 #7 June 26, 2002 In fact I think the whuffo ex just screwed up my chances with a skydiver chick. Man this sucks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
