H went flying this afternoon, as a ride-a-long/co-pilot. I'm glad that he did because I was afraid that he would shy away from aviation. Since he's come home and left to fly, I feel a little bit better.

I've also thought about my co-dependency and jealousy today. I know that when H makes new friends, he shares flying, etc. with them, and it is exciting to them since they know nothing about it. H and I share aviation, so I pretty much know a lot about what he would be telling other people and it makes it harder for him to impress me.

I remember that early on in our relationship, he was so exciting to me (not that he isn't now). He rode dirt bikes and street bikes, I didn't. He is good at fixing things. He did a lot of things I didn't and hadn't been exposed to. We used to watch NASCAR together every weekend.

I need to figure out how to re-light that spark and excitement. When he bought the last plane, I was very supportive and helped him look. My support turned sour when, after promising me he would, he didn't take me for a quick flight.

As I said earlier, I need to make him feel like a hero, a big-shot, night in shining armor. And I need to figure out how to do it without pursuing and trying too hard.
