Questions for married guys

Exactly what i did. 23-27ish. It’s not easy by any means and I’m home every day/night now though. It sucks but having the right woman( in my case) definitely makes a HUGE difference. Marrying my wife was probably the best decision I’ve ever made. You won’t always get along or agree on everything and that’s okay, that’s part of it. Been together going on 7 years and even if things went sideways between us I still wouldn’t regret a minute of it.

 

Right.
When you find a good one, it's great.
Someone to share pleasures and burdens with.

My wife and I just the other day were remarking on all of the life altering events we've been through TOGETHER, and how our bond has allowed us to weather those storms stronger than a one likely could have alone.

Two stand stronger against the cold wind... if they're united.

 

Ive been married for 4 years in June... Best 4 years of my life!

Do I miss some of the things from single life? Sure I do... But I would have missed out on so much more if I never got married.

 

30 years with my hubby. 10 before we got married. It's about communication. Talk with her about things. Figure out if you're going to need a local or regional job soon. Sowing your wild oats only looks good from one point of view. Theres not a lot of time otr to get with women. You end up lonely and cranky.
While you're on the road, make sure to talk every day. Not just about the superficial stuff, but about how you feel too. I have a bluetooth headset, so I can spend time driving talking to loved ones and keeping in touch. Video cam when you're off duty. Take regular hometime and be present with her. And when possible, take her with you. If your truck has a team, but also an upper bunk net, you can still bring her sometimes. Then she can see how busy otr driving keeps you. Its drive, sleep, repeat. That helps with insecurity issues. And maybe that's why the hints are dropping... shes worried about what happens out here.

 

Take her on the road with you for awhile.

 

There are by FAR worse ways to die. And I prefer to LIVE. Without losing everything I have worked for in my life to the whims of another. Marriage is an outdated institution, a contact to combine resources. Heck, the concept of marriage for "love" is so incredibly recent in human history to still be considered a cultural oddity by historians and sociologists.

 

I'm single. It has a lot less demands than marriage. But you are already married.

It's way more expensive to lose your family or get a new one than to change jobs. Most divorces are initiated by woves and many husbands report being surprised by it. If your wife is hinting about breaking up, take it seriously. She can get most of your stuff and more cash than you ever expected if she decides to wage war.

 

No.

We are a team still even though we are divorced for some years. Just finished her surgery this am at the VA. I don't think anything bad at all. We are long past that.

Trucking was not good for her physically. The food had alot to do with pending medical problems so the doctors told her thats enough of that trucking. And it was. It happens. Its not for everyone.

 

this is where a pre-nuptial comes in.

if she signs it, you know she is in love.

if she does not, then she's only in it for the money.

 

this is true, but as the old saying, beware of a scorned woman"...and then ask, "who scorned her in the first place"?

a cheating husband perhaps?????

another old saying, "happy wife, happy life"...
