She Doesn’t Want To Let Her Husband Buy A Small Plane Because He Isn’t Even A Pilot, And The Purchase Would Be A Massive Commitment For A Newfound Hobby
This 33-year-old woman and her husband, 44, have been married for four years and together for 9 years total.
They have a 3-year-old and 6-month-old daughter together.
Over the last several weeks, her husband has been fixated on wanting to purchase a small plane.
“This is a very new hobby that basically came out of nowhere and is a huge commitment,” she said.
They don’t have a ton of money lying around to spend on frivolous things for fun. But her husband said that he would trade in his parents’ RV in order to purchase the plane, and then he would pay his parents back.
She’d hoped that it would be a long time before her husband would find a plane to buy and that he’d eventually lose interest in the idea altogether before making such a drastic decision.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case.
“He has apparently found ‘the unicorn’ of planes, and the seller is very interested in the trade, which means this could happen soon and fast,” she explained.
She has been firm in her opinion that he should never fly the plane since he isn’t even a pilot. But her husband thinks that over time, he’ll be able to win her over and make her realize what an amazing plan this is.

Even though she doesn’t agree with his idea of buying a plane, she acknowledges that her husband is a wonderful person, a great husband, and he’s intelligent. She believes that he is doing his best to research this and is doing his due diligence, but she still won’t get on board.
Many years ago, she and her husband talked about her husband’s sister, who was a pilot back then, and as part of her job, she flew small planes.
“We both agreed that with small planes, ‘It’s only a matter of time.’ I have an acquaintance who lost their father in a small plane crash, and through social media, I have been able to see how this has affected their life throughout the years,” she shared.
Understandably, she’s deeply concerned and scared, including worrying about herself and their daughters.
She wants to tell her husband that he can’t buy the plane, but she feels like she can’t speak up. On the one hand, she believes that the purchase would be a horrible idea. But on the other hand, she doesn’t want to seem like she’s being negative or close-minded. All she knows is that she wants to strike a balance between standing up for herself and still respecting that her husband has this huge dream.
