Always feeling neglected

I have been with my boyfriend for over 2 years but he just recently started to drive fuel trucks.

He is usually gone from Thursday night to Sunday afternoon. When he is home, all we talk about is trucks. Whether it's about different models of trucks to how another truck driver is going through town.

He's constantly working on the truck when he isn't home, which is very often. And I work nights most of the time. Trying to get the morning shifts is impossible.

I feel so bad because I'm always mad at him for being gone. The last thing I want to do is leave him but sometimes when you're alone you just cry because you're tired of being alone.

I never thought it would be so hard to deal with this. Any helpful tips on how we can stay connected?
