model truckers wife
by: Hervy

Wow Kathy, thanks for that great post. There are two key requirements for a couple to experience that reality within their relationship.

Maturity and Compatibility.

If either person has not matured and grown from past experiences there is plenty of room for that immaturity to create problems.

If the compatibility factor is low, there will be problems because key issues will be viewed differently and most things can't be handled in two ways at once.(compromise is not always practical)

So a person who is in a relationship with someone immature or incompatible will not think the scenario Kathy speaks of is possible. It is. But only for certain couples.

Kathy, I am glad you have what you do and wish more couples could experience it. I hope that couples will really think about some of the stuff that you said at a deeper level and not just read it in disbelief.

Understand what it takes to get to the place where Kathy and her husband is and you will see that it is possible and should be the norm.

Society has just drifted away from the mindset that makes it the norm.

For instance, when you have two people who care about each other as much or more than one's own self, then the man can treat the woman as a Queen and the woman can treat the man as a King because each person completes the other.

Instead of living with a me, me, me attitude and one person expecting more from the other all the time...

Each person is constantly thoughtful of the other person and so there is harmony and love more often than not.

See the difference here readers. See most often we don't get what we want out of relationships because of what we are not putting them. (Men and women)

Now your saying, "this clown doesn't deserve to be treated like a king"

and to that I say, you picked the wrong man, or wrong woman.

In order to have the best chances at a good relationship like Kathy describes....you have to be mature enough to seek the right qualities in a mate that are compatible for you. You start with the right person and you can have a good relationship.

If you go after someone for foolish reasons then you end up with drama. In those cases it will take a lot more intentional behavior modification, desire and will to make the relationship blossom.

Everything it takes is learnable but first you must realize that it is possible and both people must want it to blossom and not be content with a mediocre relationship.

Good luck,
Hervy

Get real !

Kathy~
You really live in a fantasy world.
No isn’t enough time in a day to do all that crazy stuff that you say you do, maybe you need to get real & stop trying to live in fairy tail land I have 3 kids of my own also & let me tell you its work there isn’t nothing easy about that. When you have little ones you cant run around like that come on now u have teenagers they can take care of them self’s tighten up they don’t need you as much as the little ones do so then you can run around & act a fool . Also about the men being over the road truck drivers that’s there choice to do that I believe that’s a single man job but also they need to pull there part at the home front to I am sorry to say I wasn’t in the sheets alone making baby’s its so easy for you to say that other woman need to grow up but I think you have no clue. You also act so high & mighty about you marriage ha I know different you can’t tell me you all don’t have no problems because he is on the road.

Great Post

I am a new truck drivers wife, but, I completely agree with you. When my husband calls I let him vent to me and talk about whatever he wants.

I tell him no worries, everything is under control at home, all he needs to do is focus on his job. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be constantly on the road with little to no rest (he drives teams).

I plan on making him feel like a King when he gets home.

Thanks for your encouraging comments,

Diane

Your not the only one :)

Kathy,

Thank you for joining us. I have to say, it is certainly refreshing to hear of others that spoils their guy when they are home.

I have to say, no matter how tired my husband is, he does not want to be away from my side for even a minute. For me I find that refreshing!!

Anyway, Spoiling him, gives him drive to get home! A great marriage, and a fantastic friendship cannot be beat!!

We have a facebook where you will find more wives just like yourself! that includes me as well of course lol

This gives us all real time support with other women who understand exactly what this is like.

Hope to see you there
