would u date a trucker thats away from home 5 to 6 days a week or 4 to 5 nights per week. be faithful and honest to that person.

Hmm. Would you like a dog who came home 1 or 2 days a week? Just food for thought.

Some women may not mind. It is the perfect man in my eyes. I can still keep my single feeling and have space to call my own. Why have I not thought of that before!!!

i dont know pyxxie. i was just wondering because i have been through 1 marriage and 3 girlfriends i understand its hard for the other but its rough on both.

I believe it's a matter of talking and understanding what is going to happen. Then plan how the time you will have together will make it matter.

if only more woman were like u i agree 100%

I think it could work.As long as there was total comitment to each other!

totally agree

Yes is have no problem dating or being in a committed relationship with someone who drives truck. As long asvthe commitment was mutual.

I know a lot of very happy couples who have probably STAYED happy (and faithful) because one spouse traveled a lot for work - usually every week for 3-5 days. Not much difference. It can work.

sure

it might be OK - if we actually have anything in comon that is

I love a lot of together time but I also need time alone to decompress & recharge and do my nails without interference

so for someone like me it might provide a good balance - I'd be more tempted to ask can HE be faithful being on the road????

nO!! besides I'm taken

As long as he made me feel certain of our relationship I certainly would. But I would need that same feeling of trust even if he were home every night.

sure am i dont believe in cheating if ur gonna cheat why be with the person ur cheating on

good question

we always thought of truckers as being kinda like ladies men and bad boys tho (me & my friends growing up)

Never mind the profession -
I'm not a big fan of my partner being away for long periods of time. Not unless we're both away for long periods. Then we would both be too busy to miss each other! Lol.

Well... because otherwise you could not be a cheater? General "you", not you as a personal you. Some people are happy with a status or being in a class if cheaters. It gives them an identity, which they would lack otherwise. "Hi, My name is Zoltan, and I'm a cheater." It gives them a purpose, a meaning of life to live for.

My question, to you, op, or rather, my advice: change jobs. Become a cop or a bouncer or take courses at night and become a certified public accountant. If the issue is such a big deal for you.

Erm... he can't be away from you without your being away from him. For exactly the same duration, and precisely the same distance, each and every time, and each and every moment of each time.

I don't know what you are trying to say, other words.

I sense that you are a caring sort of person. You could change jobs to becoming a marriage counsellor or a couples' marital educator. Or start a little dry-cleaning delivery service, go into business on your own, and then you'd be on the road all day, and at home all night. Your wife would love you and vice versa, as long as neither of you grows fat.

cheater!

I know a few older couples who travel the country together in their truck. (And seem to do great!) Of course their kids are grown and they don't have anyone (or anything) tying them down at home anymore...I have a friend who has been married to a long-haul truck driver for decades. She and her husband made it "work.".. But she was "stuck" with so much "to do" at home when their kids were small and growing-up. Plus she always worked full-time (too) so she had a lot on her "plate."...It seemed a little awkward (at least at first) when her husband did come back home... Naturally my friend and her children were happy to see him! But my friend was used to being "in-charge" and doing things in "set ways." And this led to a few conflicts at times if her husband seemed critical or wanted to have more "input" etc...But they are still "together" and her husband works locally now. (He is semi-retired due to ongoing health problems.)
