My boyfriend is an over the road truck driver and right now I can't ride along with him. I just recently moved in with my brother and am in a new town and have no car at the moment. We talk on the phone whenever he's not sleeping or doing the normal don't talk on the phone things, and when he can we get online and we talk there. What's the best way to deal with him being gone while he's gone as this is killing me cause I miss him so much.

I guess that I should have added that I will eventually be going on the road with him and as for work I currently am in charge of getting our business of the ground. That's another reason that we have to stay in touch so much. As for the lot lizards, I have nothing to worry about from them as they are nasty and he wouldn't go near a one of them and has assured me of this. He's been driving for 7 years now, we just have to get a truck before I can ride along as the one that he is in now is just too small for 3 people as he is doing team driving. I don't really know anyone here becides my brother as I just moved here. We aren't from here origionally and I didn't want to stay in our home town where I had just moved to. thanks for the answers they helped alot. :)

believe it or not, it will get easier!!! I use to work at TDI aand I recruited drivers, and i had this bright idea to recruit my man, he has been on the road almost 2 yrs now! and at first i hated it, and i still miss him, but it did get easier. If ur man is new anad still learnig, he needs this time to learn, and be safe, and once he is on his own, or more well adjusted, you will get sick of the phone ringing!!! your time together will be more precious. Mark my words, this is even harder for him, he is missing everybody, not just one person. Hang in there, this is good money, and you If u guys are strong, u'll makae it.
ps try not to show jealousy, its hard, I know, over women, and the places he gets to go, trust me the lizards a re nasty, and the places still arent home, plus he will pick u up soon!!!

Well, I know how ya feel as my husband is and over the road driver also.......but after being together for 20 years, I don't miss him like I used too....sad to say but you do get used to it and it doesn't bother you as much....but I have a job, 4 kids, 2 dogs, 60 fish and 3 hamsters, and a house to maintain so I don't have time to be lonely or miss him! So, I would suggest getting a job that takes up alot of your time. If you find you still have time on your hands, volunteer at an old folks home or a shelter. That will give you a great feeling! And you just might make a friend or two to keep you company!

You don't say if you work or not. If not, maybe get a part time job, or take up a hobby of some sort. It is not a replacment for him cause that can't be done, but just try to keep busy so missing him doesn't bother you so much. Go for long walks, read, cook special things for him for when he comes home (buy a freezer if you have to). Good luck, I know it is hard when you have a special attachment to someone and you miss them.

I do not, however in case you do I wish to mention you have got my prayers. I am from a army household and I have a few reminiscence of the way it was once while I was once a child and Dad was once long gone. I suppose something I could do is occasion with a organization of households which are within the equal trouble. Especially in case you reside virtually others households of the ones serving along with your adored one. Find an exercise or interest that you simply revel in doing and become a member of a organization of others doing the equal factor. Again, my prayers are with you and inform him that there are paople that entirely recognize all he's doing.

Be happy with the fact that you have a man who is away from you because of work and not a problem in your relationship. Keep busy taking care of yourself, try taking some classes in art or yoga or somthing that interest you and impress your man with what you have done in his absence. Then the time will pass faster and before you know it you will be in his arms again, a better improved woman.

Girl, if you have other friends chill with them and maybe you can get your mind off of him until another time when you two can talk, but that's not always going to work because he's always on the job. Maybe you should just be friends with him, because a trucker is always on the go, I know you love him but your love for him may have to stop.

Get a few hobbies outside of your brother's home to get your mind of the fact that he is gone.

As long as he's faithful, hang tight. I know it is a very trying time for you both, but if he loves you and you love him, be content with the communications that you have. Soon he will return.
