It has only been three months..What the heck???

by Natasha C
(Canada)

I am supportive...I am understanding...I have nothing to worry about with other humans entering our union.I just miss having a husband to do stuff with everyday.

If you think about it , if your husband is gone 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year ( I deducted for vacation)...that's 100 days out of 365.
I am stressed out over weather reports and accidents..NOT SURE IF U CAN GET USED TO THIS....

Advice NEW

Sounds like your husband is a brand new OTR driver. Well, there's a lot of light at the end of the tunnel and the tunnel need not be very long. After a year of OTR, your pretty much have enough experience to find a local job. If you do no live by a major city--MOVE. There is NO reason to do a lifetime of OTR.

You have to be sure that you can
by: Hervy

For some people it takes longer than others Natasha. You have to believe that you can get used to it though otherwise you will just create a self fulfilling prophecy and basically never let yourself get used to it.

Make sure you are filling your free time with something constructive if you have any.

You have to learn to stop worrying about the weather as well. One thing you could do is agree to communicate with each other about where his next trip is.

Then you always know if he is headed toward bad weather or not. Then at least you will only worry when there actually is weather in his path.

Best wishes. You can do it!
