Chat
by: Jennifer S

The chat is EST 6pm, WE have not had 1 chat yet, though. It has not been real successful, although I am always hoping ;) Let me know if you would like to meet another time....email me (I am harmless) lol, as most here can attest for.

Negative thought patterns will be your downfall with this type of relationship- DO NOT allow the negative input of others to affect who you are, and how you live your life!

I am big on positive thinking--but that is just me lol.

I can meet you there in a few minutes (The chat) if you like, or drop me a line when you want to meet

Thanks for the kind welcome!

I didnt expect that post to go up so fast!

I really am trying to keep my feet on the ground.

I am sure things will settle down with the calls and texts. That newness is bound to wash off at some point. For right now its great though :)

I look forward to reading more here and learning. Honestly as soon as i tell anyone around me what he does for a living i get a big 'Ohhhhhhh. well, dont get too attached."

Maybe i can get into the chat at 6pm..is that EST or central time or??

Well Amanda,

Sounds like you have a pretty positive start to this new relationship despite the down side of this industry. I think as long as you 2 keep the lines of communication open you will do well. There is alot of hoops to jump through as you get farther into this relationship. I came to this website searching for advice, support and just somewhere to vent when I started dating a trucker as well. My story started out much like yours but 6 months later I finally realized he wasn't the man I thought he was.

I met him online as well and through that whole time I confided in a few friends I made on this site. They helped me get through the worst ad it was good to have someone on the outside looking in to keep my head from spinning.

Hervy, Keith and Jennifer. I'm sure all will give you good advice and I wish you the best with your new trucker. It is not for everyone but it sounds like you have a good handle on it already.

Good Luck!

Hello ;)
by: Jennifer S

Amanda,

Thanks for sharing. I commend you on your ability to put aside the "stereotypical" truckers role. They are not all like that. I myself met my husband online (he was NOT a driver then) he and I fell in love very very quickly, and with out ever physically laying a hand on him, we demanded exclusivity as well.

It does not matter much how you met him. I just see it as the 21st century's new found way of meeting what could be your soul mate, Lord knows it happened for me.

Back to the stereotypical truckers. Like I said they are soooo not all like that. Most are family men, there are those that could careless, and do have a woman in "every port" so to speak. They are the ones that give MOST drivers a bad name! I for one would love to see that change!!

His commitment to you with his dedication to calling frequently and texting just as much so is wonderful. That is important in this type of life style which is so far from the traditional roles that we so often see as a norm.

Please feel free to email me. I love to keep in touch with other "Drivers significant others".

Its a support system that we all need

Have a great day, and thanks for the lovely story, and positive input
