As a truckers wife I would like to give my opinion hope it helps RR. I think it is short sighted to marry someone based on their profession. What if something should happen to them would you no longer be as interested. Marry someone for them and them only otherwise you will end up the 60% you so don't want to be. If my husband told me today he wanted to pull weeds for a leaving odd as it would be my job as a life long mate is to support him, pray for him and love him.. I can say this because I have been married 11years, may not sound long but I'm only twenty nine. We have three sons, and if this is your dream to be married and eventually his children find someone and love them for who they are and over the years it is allowed to change. Truck drivers are not the only men who have to be away from their family, military men, professional athletes and the list can go on.

As for being selfish to have so many children that are a burden to the plant. I disagree. children are our future whether you have them or not we need them to work and pay into SS, create and develope new things, as well as work when we are no longer physically able. But more then that when you do meet that someone special and the two become one flesh ( what do you think that means?). My boys are myself and my husband beautifuly joined not selfish but miraculous. FYI men or atleast my man what someone beautiful to behold and cherish. They have lots of buddy they can talk and work with, but they want a playmate. :lol:

 

how to marry a trucker?

give him free cheese :lol:

 

How can you compare a trucker with a professioanl athlete.....lets see, millions of dollars vs a few thousand. And lets not forget a trucker works year round while an athlete works a few months at something that can hardly be called "work"...what an insult to the true hard working man or woman....just my 2 cents.

 

Just to put some "closure" to this topic...

Since putting this topic up for discussion, I've been busy with other things in my life. Planning a new business for one, and really I think when it comes down to it, a "Husband", isn't a necessity. While it maybe nice to have someone who is truly close to you to share your life, it is simply an option...

If one day, I should meet a guy who enjoys the same things in life that I do. Then the option is always there... 8)

Right now, it just isn't a priority... :wink:

 

free cheese :lol:

 

:lol: :wink: I have to admit you made me laugh, that's a great quality... :wink: 8)
