HELLO...HOW IS EVERYONE DOING.....MY NAME IS CRYSTAL AND I AM NEW TO THE GROUP. ALSO IM A NEW TRUCKER WIFE. MY HUSBAND LEFT ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO GO ON THE ROAD. WE LIVE IN PENSACOLA AND HE HAS 2 BOYS. I AM 21 AND A "STEPMOM" BUT I CLAIM THE BOYS AS MY OWN AND THEY SEE AND CALL ME MOM. ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE TRYING FOR A CHILD OF OUR OWN. I AM LOOKING TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH OTHER TRUCKER WIVES AND CHAT. ALSO TO VENT OR JUST TALK TO.
Honestly, very badly.
I didn't want him to do it, still don't. When he first started(he was with a different company than he is now) he was gone for at least 1 month at a time, usually 2. Couple of times it was 3 months because we couldn't afford for him to come home. Over time I got used to being alone now, but I don't like it. I'm very lonley. I work full time & have 2 kids so that "keeps me busy" I still would rather my hub be home. It's taken a toll on our marraige for both him & me. But it is what it is.
I don't thnk that is what you wanted to here and I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to sound so depressive but it is how i feel. Some women are used to it and don't mind.
WELL I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY.....THATS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW...HES TRAINING WILL BE OVER JULY 7TH AND SHOULD BE HOME A WEEK OR SO AFTER....I DONT MIND HIM DOING IT AS LONG AS HES HOME EVERY WEEKEND OR EVERY TWO WEEKS.....I TOLD HIM I CANT GO 3 MONTHS OR SO WITHOUT HIM AND I WONT DO IT. BUT HE MADE A PROMISE IF IT EVER GOT TO WHERE IT WOULD TEAR US APART HE WOULD COME HOME.
HEY PAM HOW ARE YOU? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A TRUCKERS WIFE?
most companies he will work for will keep him out 3 weeks, home 1. unless it is a small private then he will be gone at their choosing. when my dh got let go from swift in 2009 we called every trucking company online. they all said about the same.
YEA HES BEEN GONE SINCE MAY FOR TRAINING...BUT WHEN HE GETS HIS OWN HE WILL BE OUT 2 WEEKS HOME 2 DAYS......SO MAYBE ITLL BE A LITTLE EASIER LIKE THAT
my dh left home on may 16th and hasnt been home yet. so out 2w home 2d isnt bad
