Married a trucker - It was really bad...

by Cherish
(Al)

I dated an otr driver who became pretty much local. Three years we dated and lived seperate. Married him and moved in. I have one child he had two boys. I raised the boys for eight years, but after I moved in he turned into Mr. Butthole.

Always in his room alone ignoring me and the kids, never helps with anything even though he is home. I got sick and he would never go to any spots, even when I needed a driver for sedation.

One of his children has learning disabilities as well. He got better at taking care of his boys after years, but still cruel to me and completely ignored my daughter. Never would answer his phone when he left to go to work. Didn't want to have anything to do with us.

Now he does do things with his sons, but it's like he is just trying to make me jealous because he pays them attention. I cooked, cleaned took his kid to therapy, laundry, baths, clothes kept house. And even brought in large sums of money.. he hated me.

Now that we are divorced he says he wants to change. Have done this too many times to count and it always ends the same way. Now he is just sickening sweet. This has been the same for five years now. And every time he gets in a rut, he says I love you I promise to make it better and to change.

It was really bad.

If your late hubby wants to change his ways, then good for him.

Unfortunately it will have to be without you since he's truly not wanting to change for the sake of your relationship.

He's probably missing the comfort of not doing anything and leaving it all up to you. He probably wasn't expecting you would put your foot down and more than likely took you for granted.

If he wants to change then all the more power to him. Maybe next time he meets someone else, he'll remember where he ended up.

Stick to your guns and don't fall for the whimpering of an effeminate man. If he hasn't learned how to manage his own responsibility after having children, then he needs to grow up and quit acting like an insecure teenager.

I'm sure not all are this way. I've seen some really great comments on some really great husbands and boyfriends that are truckers.So, I just wanted to add that there are some good guys out there too.

You are smart and it's good to hear you stood up and divorced him. Now all you need to do is change your phone number and get that sickening voice out of your life. :)
