Marriage + Trucking Life

{"text":"How are y’all marriages/ relationships while being on the road? Is it no big deal? Do you miss your significant other while OTR? Is it a relief? Does your partner drive with you? And if you do drive with your partner, does it drive you insane or strengthen y’all’s relationship? 🤷🏻‍♀️","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

173189 发表于 2021-06-09 01:36:52 I’d like to hear your perspective 😊   You must have a good reason for asking the question, lol 😂

","text":"No reason at all, just curious lol. Our road life together has been smooth sailing, the only thing I DON’T like about driving with my husband is when he eats something that makes him really gassy in the truck🤐.. OR when he yells at me when I’m learning how to back in a parking spot. Then I get mad, and he gets mad at me for being mad and then it’s silence until one of us decides to get the other one food. And if that’s the worst thing that happens on the road together then we’re lucky😂. Haven’t torn each others heads off yet..","replyToPid":428054}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"I’ve been married for 18 1/2 years but only trucking vocationally for the last five. It’s been great for our marriage, I’m actually home more than I was when I had a day job. It’s more rewarding financially, so there is less stress from that as well. We have eight kids together aged 17 to 3 all ours. I have been fortunate enough to build my business inside of 200 air miles from my house, so I’m home almost every night. "}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Been local for a few years. Nowadays I drive regional upper  Midwest. Out Monday through Friday. Some weeks I get home as early as Wednesday and drive local the other 2 days. Depends what the company needs. We've been married for over 30 years so there is no need to be with each other all the time. 4 or 5 nights out isn't a long time. I think we appreciate our time together more now and if anything it's an improvement of our relationship. I could do 1 extra week out, but that's were I have to draw the line. You know...balance is important. For me 5 days out works great, company pays decent, and relationship is solid. Life is good 👍","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Hmm I see🧐. I bet she misses you while you’re on the road though (hopefully lol), but I’m sure the kids keep her pretty busy. \n\nI love humor in any relationship, so healthy 😂🙌🏼. As long as you guys found that healthy balance of trucking/home life then I’m happy for y’all. \n\nThese lot leezards definitely aren’t worth ruining a marriage over. Those girls are always getting ready inside the women’s bathrooms and my nose just about falls off from how bad they smell🙃. Always best to stay on the straight and narrow lol","replyToPid":0}
