My husband just started driving (two weeks ago). While he was away at school, I decided not to do anything different. He came home and said, "It's like I wasn't even gone!:" I don't think he liked it. So this time, when he left for 2-3 months, I changed the living room around, so when he comes home for Christmas, I wander what his reaction will be.

 

Hi All,
I wonder if any of you have this problem My husband has been a OTR for 8 yrs. When he first left, I had a bit of a time adjusting to becoming the "everything" person. I had to do all the stuff I normally did and now I have to do all the stuff he normally did too. I finally got it all worked out and guess what?? He comes home and tries to jump back into his old routine and really messes me up. LOL I love him more than life but it is almost like moving in with a new person every time he comes home again...

 

Sounds familiar :lol:

The important thing is to not worry about 'you' when he's there, and focus on him. They put up w/ loads of bs out there- and if doing his old routine at home is what he wants, then let him. He needs a mental break, so be very understanding and supportive. :wink:

 

Hey there ladies... So my fiance is up in Wisconsin for training for another 2 weeks. The past week has been sooooooohard! I had no idea that I would miss him this much!

I'm new to being a truck drivers wife. Does it get easier? I'm not really use to being away from him now we are apart and I'm a full time mother. Thank you for the help and words of encouragement.

 

You have to understand that he is trying for you.

 

The first separation will feel especially painful because you are already used to your partner. Everything around you will remind you of his absence. During this period, it is essential not to make emotional decisions. While your world is painted in black colors, the future will seem unrealistic and meaningless. However, after a few weeks, you will adapt to the new conditions, and the breakup will not seem so difficult. You will get through it

 

I know it's sometimes too hard but you need to keep patient. Try to go to your husband maybe.
