Default Hello

I'm a relatively new trucker's wife. We've been married for a little over a year. He is doing loooooong haul... Out for 3-5 weeks, home for 3-5 days.
I'm not working right now, stay at home wife with 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a fish.
So, yeah, guess I wanted to say hi?

Welcome to the forum. It can be challenging being at home when your spouse in on the road for extended periods of time.

Hi and welcome My husband is typically gone for weeks at a time as well; When he started back in 2006 I was working FT, then got laid off, and wasn't working for a short time, but that made the 'in between days' much longer, so went to PT work at least; I found that keeping BUSY does help, either at work or with the animals (we have horses,dogs and cats), I even started my own horse training business for a time; I am now working FT again and it does keep me somewhat sane, lol. You could also do volunteer work someplace, or maybe get involved with a church; something else I did a few times was go OTR WITH him, I was able to see firsthand what its like out there for him, plus I learned a lot about my OWN driving habits by watching how others drive around the bigrigs; you will see a lot of cool places as well, meet different people, etc. No doubt trucking is tough on a marriage/relationships, these are just a few things that have helped me out along the way, good luck to you
