Comments on: Your “Other Half” In a Truck Driving Career http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/gbabiesgma/2009/04/your-other-half-in-a-truck-driving-career Helping Those Who Are Considering A Career In The Truck Driving Industry Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:48:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Anna http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/gbabiesgma/2009/04/your-other-half-in-a-truck-driving-career/comment-page-1#comment-1768 Anna Fri, 09 Jul 2010 06:24:06 +0000 http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/?p=1027#comment-1768 Thank you for posting these comments. My husband has been driving for a little over a year now and I basically found things to keep me busy while he was training and dfriving solo. Unfortunately I didn't realize how hard this job is on him too and I don't think I made as much of an effort to help him his first year - like I didn't understand when he was calling me 5 or 10 times a day while he was stuck in some remote place waiting on a load and he was all alone. I am fairly independant - this is my first marriage and I've always done things on my own but I don't think I thought about HIM til now. He just started training so now I am only talking to him every couple days and it's torture. I have all sorts of bad scenarios running through my head - plus he's just different. I have been trying to trust that this was all going to turn out ok and take it one day at a time. I am now experiencing the lonliness and sadness because I used to at least speak to him a few times a day, now he's not even responding to my texts. He was home a few days ago and since I work too we only saw each other for a few hours. I hope our marriage can make it through this. I hope I can find the courage and strenght to be there for him.

I started a blog of my own (see website info) I'd be happy if you had anything to add to my posts from time to time!
