truck drivers and girlfriends left at home????

[oldwoman (deleted)]

Hi; of course you can tell I am new to this site. I was wanting information on how well relationships went, when a driver has a girlfriend at home and how wearing is it on them both? I used to drive, so I have a good understanding of the stress out there OTR. But I have never been "home" and had a boyfriend nor husband, out on the road. I am looking for that special someone, that can drive and come home and still be true to one woman. Hmmmm, wonder if there are any guys out there that fit that description? hope to hear something soon, OldWoman from Tennessee

Well it is not easy for either. I have found out since I got divorced 2 yrs ago that trying to start a relationship with someone is almost impossible. As for trying to find a guy that is true to one woman we are out here but the same goes for us guy's looking for that special woman. I have been trying to see this lady for a couple mth's now. Things go good at first then when you are out after a couple weeks things get a little touchy. Well hope this help's it is just rough out here trying to date somebody that is not there to hold when you are sad or tired.

yes i do know alot of men that fit that description but you dont just fall into somthing like that it takes time alot of time
unfourtunatly most ladies squander their youth and beauty on chasing the same guys that all the other girls are so they get tired of trying and decide to go it alone, so they dont try to look for mr right untill they are in their 40"s and then, they are out of luck for the rest of their days cause then, all those women get is used for one nighters and fill in stuff when some guy gets desperate . they are so tired of being alone that they will take any guy that comes along and is faithfull but the ones that are alone for good are the ones who have done this and then try to get picky

Yes it is hard but to me it all depends on how you treat each other but thats just my opion

Hi all! I'm new to this site too.... My roommate's boyfriend is a trucker and I see their hardships.... I can tell you though, Asphault Cowboy is a great guy.... My roommate went out on the road with him for a week and she'll be going out with him again for 2 weeks.... i know when he's out on the road he contacts her as much as he can, when his internet or phone is in a working area.... He is faithful, thoughtful and a very caring guy, when he's driving he calls her and when he's stopped he's online with her.... Believe me I know, I haven't had access to the phone or pc in weeks lol....
If a person believes in themselves enough to date a trucker, then they can believe that a trucker can be the right perosn for them....

my husband of 6+ years is an otr driver with a dedicated run to the west coast and back. he gets home about once a week. yet, i just found this site this weekend where he had completed his profile as "married, but separated", and was looking for "friends with benefits". i assume he was looking to h--k up with a woman on the west coast (especially since he had sent an email to a woman on this site wanting to meet her). it's devastated me! he claims he uses this site "just to chat" because he gets bored if he has to layover, but i still don't understand why he would go to a dating website to chat. (we're obviously fighting about this!)

anyway ... i don't think being apart will hurt a relationship as long as both people are honest and trustworthy. it takes a "real man" to hold up to that. if he's prone to thinking with the wrong head, then you can't trust him to stay faithful.

well,let me say,it depends on the relationship.when i stay home,it is hard,because i miss my honey,i miss my time with him.but the good thing is,i stay home right now because school,but usually i would be with him on the road.i love being in the truck with him,seeing places,do things with paperwork,etc and then our time when we'd shut down at night.but when i stay home,we make the most of it when he comes in.he also calls me twice a day at least,but sometimes only once if the area he's in doesn't like our cell phone(lol).so like i said,it depends on the relationship.you also have to have alot of trust,honesty and communication

my sweetie is the best thing in my life,wouldn't give him up for anything

I was living with my b/f who was a truck driver.Our relationship was going great I thought untill 6 month's into it I noticed strange number's from other state's I called one a female answered we spoke briefly and she told me my b/f had been calling her that he told her he was single.Needless to say I dumped him but not before I let him know that I wasn't as stupid as he thought I was

I wish you the best of luck with having a relationship from home. I know as a driver myself, i have already tried a relationship were my ex. was at home with our kids. We were married for ten years, and now happily divorced. She got remarried four months after our divorce, and have been divorced now for two years. As for me myself i would not have a long distance relationship again, and maybe i will find that special someone someday to drive a truck along by myside. And work together as a couple should making decisions in our lives together. I wish you the best of luck in your future, i know i could never do it again though. And i will be single until i do find that special someone that wants to be by myside working and living our lives together as a couple. Take care out there and hope you have the best of wishes from me to you!!!!!!!!!!jason..........

I just found this site and find this topic interesting. I've been around trucks all my life and decided 6 months ago to go out with a co worker and learn to drive. Any relationship that you can't trust the other person will never work.

I was seeing a trucker. Loved him to death. He knew i was married but would never say if he was. Never the less he became sick and told me he would get back to me after everthing was good. Have not hear from him in a month, So i guess his wife is taking care of him. But oh well life goes on. it;s hard to let someone go that you are in love with. Who knows maybe he will see this post.

I am new to this site also, but this subject caught my attention. Having a trucker for a boyfriend or husband can be rough. The times left alone while he is gone gives you time to think if you do your stinking thinking you will believe he may have someone else while out there. If you trust each other and love each other then there should be no problem. I am looking for a trucker, I drove truck for awhile and had a blast, but these old bones just can't take the wear and tear on the road. I figure if I find me a trucker and he is gone for a couple weeks or more then I will have ample time to make a honey-do list for when he comes home! lol..I think while he is gone I will miss him but when he has been home a few days then I will be glad to see him go again! I would enjoy the time he was home, he would be treated like a king, well he will if he treats me like his queen. If there is any advice I could give someone is remember he is out there making the money that you will spend on the bills etc. You will have to be able to take care of the household while he is gone. You learn how to be a mechanic, plumber, grounds keeper, babysitter, and chef. I personally would love that life. :lol:

..I was going out with a guy who decided to be a trucker, i was all for it and stood beside him all the way,,i use to love hearing his stories about the road, he would call me all the time,,and come home as often as he can,,I worked hard and waited for him, didn't cheat and welcomed him home with open arms,,,he would always say how rare is a woman like me, since he said many woman can't take a relationship with a truck driver, too many lonely nights...3 weeks ago right before my son's wedding, he called me from the road started calling me names, make a long story short his ex g/f who hurt him badly and him was talking on the road,,,next thing i knew he came home on his weekend on the road, and is now with her,,,it broke my heart, i felt like such a fool waiting around for him,,,i really thought i could trust him, he had promised to take me on the road this summer, i was looking forward to it, now he is taking her,,,has to go the tears are starting again

What I don't understand if all you ladies had such a bad experience with a trucker, why are you on a trucker site, trying to meet a trucker.
