How many drivers are faithful to their partners?
 

Well, my husband knows a truck driver that has kids at home (including an infant) and a spouse. He told my husband that he cheats regularly. I was just wondering if this is an exception to the rule or not.

BTW, I trust my husband so I am not worried about whether he is or not.

Ridiculous Poll

Not exactly ridiculous IMO. It probly happens quite a bit, ya just dont see it going on

As if some HONEST person would say-Yeah-I cheat on my wife. :roll:

Ok, I get what ya meant by that. It would be interesting to see the results if people told the truth though

How about polygamists? :lol:

I don't think it is ridiculous, I mean you can vote and not disclose who you are. That is why I set it up that way. I was just wondering if there are more spouses like my husband or if the majority was like this other guy.

And this truck driver is a driver trainer if that makes a difference so he is cheating while he has someone else in the truck with him.

I hate to guess what kind of women hes picking up to cheat :shock:

For every cheater on the truck there is a cheater at home. I find it ironic that the questions is usually posed towards the cheating husband. If your spouse is going to cheat on you they will regardless of what job they do. And just for the sake of argument, every spouse who gets cheated on feels the same way that you do! Their spouse would never be unfaithful to them... Sad to say, but thats the facts.

haha..... hit the nail right on the head!!!! I was thinking the same thing, for every married driver out on the road there is a spouse at home.

True, I don't know what the wife is doing at home so it is possible that they have a open relationship for all I know! I phased the question above the way I did because there are more men on this site then women.

When I told my mom about the trainer she said, "I hope Jeff doesn't turn into a cheater." I said he wouldn't because cheaters cheat no matter what profession they are in. I would have to say in some ways with trucking it is just more talked about.

You seem to be playing a little fast a loose with the wording here. You first aim the question at the drivers and now when I bring up the fact that its a two way street you single out this one wife and do not use the term wives. Wives are JUST as able and even more so to cheat on their trucking husbands. This is a double edged sword. Just as there is no way to tell if your husband is going to cheat, there is also no way that he can predict if YOU are going to cheat. A lot of these stories out there are just plain bogus! There are men and women who constant claim that they are involved in sex 24/7, they irritate me almost as much as the truckstop preachers... :roll:

I was talking about one specific relationship that involved a truck driver and his wife. I do not know the couple well enough to determine what she is doing while he is away. I am sure there are wives that cheat too. In fact Jeff's first trainers girlfriend had a man that was staying with her through the week when he was gone.

I know for a fact that I will not cheat. I would never disrespect my husband that way. When I married him I took vows and I will not break them! This is something we have talked about through out our marriage. Cheating is a deal breaker for either of us. My husband says that he has a hard enough time keeping me happy so why would he want another woman. lol

I look at my relationship with the wife like I look at motorcycles.
I may look at motorcycles, may drool over motorcycles, may look at pictures of motorcycles, may want that motorcycle...............but I always come home to ride the one I love best. :wink:

Besides I cant afford another motorcycle, and a ex-motorcycle so it comes down to dollars and "SENSE"

LOL

You're only as faithful as your opportunities. Quoted by Chris Rock!

Re: They say
 

Not exactly true. I have NEVER cheated on my wife, even though there were a couple of ocassions when she suggested I should. And, I've had many oppurtunities.

Just because you are on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu. The main thing is to only look. When you marry you make a commitment to your spouse - to me that's a very important thing. My wife happens to be the best thing that has ever happened to me and I'm really fortunate to realize it on my own (although she has been known to remind me of that fact quite often).

I'Dunno, Fozzy!! Maybe there is a board called "Mormon Truckers.Com"!!

I stumbled onto a site called www.polyamorysociety.org. If you're interested in polygamy, try that one out... I was there once. Don't even remember what I was looking for at the time, but that was not it. Don't remember if there were any truck drivers that belonged to it or not. Didn't really get beyond their home page.

I do not understand the whole poligomy thing. I cannot even understand why a man would really want it, but I have no worldy idea why a woman would share her husband with anyone and actually pretend that it didn't bother her. There are plently of men who think it would be some sort of strength to have more than one wife. But for a woman to be so desperate to actually have to share some man? I'm confused! :shock:

Are you saying you don't understand women? If that's what you're worrying about, you'll be old and grey long before your time. As intelligent and knowledgeable as you are, there are men that know much more, and they don't understand women either. You're not a member of any exclusive club on that score. I have a wife that wants to share me with another woman, and I don't understand it.

Nine years ago, I told her I do not cheat on my wife... And I don't.

She said:

If I know about it before hand...
and I approve of it.
If I know who you're with...
and I know what's going on,

then it's not cheating.

And, I'll leave it at that.

Oh, I never come close to trying to understand women.. I've been married to ONE woman for almost 20 years and after the first five, I gave that up. It's like tic tac toe... its best not even start playing that game. You situation is not something that I've never heard of. I've read somewhere that when women have affairs that their husbands biggest fear is that their children may not be genetically their own. When men have affairs the women's worst fear is that the man may be in love with the other woman. :? Sharing a man could possibly be ok with some wives.. as long as it's purely physical.

I just posted another message on another forum regarding this very subject. Frankly, I haven't seen too much monogamy out here. I've been trucking for 28 months. I am a very attractive single blond female. I get hit on all day long. I'm amazed that guys don't even hesitate to hit on me with wedding rings on. If there is a lot of monogamy I must meet EVERY cheater on the road.

They have lied to me and told me that they aren't married and will be married for 20 years with 10 kids. They will say they don't have cell phones and they do but don't want the girlfriend or wife to see the number on the bills. They will even be stupid enough sometimes to give the right number and not tell me that they have a girlfriend or wife and that's not pleasant to speak to one of them. I can assure you.

I don't want married guys or guys with girlfriends. But don't have the time, inclination, money or desire to run background checks on every prospective "partner". Hence, sometimes you run the risk of getting "hitched" guys. Actually, I'd say I get hitched guys most of the time. One of my single male friends said I get the hitched guys because I tell them I don't want any commitment. Well that may be true but I don't want a boyfriend/husband. I'm quite happy being single.

I'm telling you guys will say ANYTHING to get the almighty nookie. I think I've even been lied to about a spouse's death. I just can't believe what guys can come up with when they're sitting driving all day long with nothing better else to do but conjure up stories.

I suppose you can have cheating wives at home also. However, I was married for 1/2 a life time and NEVER once cheated. Thought about it in the end but decided against it. I didn't have sex the last two years of my marriage and had every chance to do so with others. I guess when a marriage is over it's over.

Sex can not revive a dead marriage. It's too bad more people don't just give it up when it's over. I can assure you-you know when it's over. Fortunately, for me I never wanted children [yes-I can have them] so there wasn't any children involved in the split. However, if someone isn't giving the other one what they want-the spouse who isn't happy will definitely find it some where else. :)
