my husband is a long haul truck driver, how do I get used of having him home? when hes gone all the time???

Answer 1

my husband is a long haul trucker too he's away alot.
its hard to get used to having them around when your so used to them not being there, but remember its hard for him too.
the thing is when they are away we get on with our lives and we have our routines but they also have a routine of some kind and they are used to being alone and doing what ever it is they do, so when they come home you feel like he is disrupting your routine and he cant get used to having people around.
it is hard but its all about compromise.
we used to fight over silly things like the TV.
i like to watch the soaps in the eve when the kids are in bed that was part of my routine but then he would come home and want to watch something else. he hated me doing the house work when he was home but I'd say this is my routine this is what i do when your not here. its so hard although your married and together you both lead separate lives you have to find a way to put those two lives together. my hubby and i have been married for 9yrs now together for 12yrs and he was doing this when we met but we have only recently probably about 3yrs ago learned how to bring our two lives together and make them one.

don't give up compromise and communicate it will come together eventually good luck.

Answer 2

No. I have been there. When my husband got out of the military he ended up driving a truck. It didn't work for us. I spent five years rarely seeing him with the Army. Driving a truck was just as bad. He was better off in the military. However, I met several girlfriends and wives of truckers during this experience. The lifestyle worked well for them. They were very independent and were either going to school or had very long hours themselves. I also met several couples that team drove. They seemed to enjoy it a lot. The women were happy to see the country and spend time with their hubbies.

My bf is a long haul driver also. I work all the time. I have no family near me. That is the only way I can deal with it. It does not bother me to be alone at night. It does bother me at times when I come home to an empty house. That part has been a bit easier...I have a puppy. She doesnt replace him any way but at least she is glad to see me when I come home. If you dont have children, why don't you go with him?

Answer 4

I'am the son of a long haul trucker and my Mother went with my Father from time to time.They got along great.While he is gone spend a lot of time improving yourself just for him.If you are perfect then work on improving the house get involved with the church.Then greet him at the door as soon as he gets home.Sorry that's not a very good answer.But it may work.
lots of love & luck.do NOT cheat.You won't have to worry about it if you do

Answer 5

When he's home, there should be no getting used to it, he's your husband; just as you would with a guest/visitor, make sure your house is a home for him as well.
Greet him and be happy to see him. The two of you should spend great time together since he's only home for short periods of time.

Answer 6

That is hard, my husband is in the military and goes on many deployments. So I end up having two different routines. One for when he's gone and one when he's home.

Answer 7

You do not have to get used to it. You should enjoy the change, and enjoy his company. Now is the time to have fun with the one you pledged to spend the rest of your life with.

Answer 8

Just tell your boyfriend to lay low for a while until he leaves again. Then everything can return to normal. Enjoy!

Answer 9

You just do! The same as how did you managed time with him before you were married. What's the dif?
