Truck driver does the continent by choice and says work is first not you, do all see it that way?

I've been with my partner for 2 and a half years. I love him so much. He's my number one for everything.

I never did believe long distant relationships could work but to keep our love I'm willing to give it a go. I have asked my partner if he would do continent for 5 years and then we can start building our life at home.

I believe you must have a calling for a truck drivers job and he definitely has it, but he has informed me his job is more important then our life together.

He says our life together is part of his future just as much as truck driving. I know it's his dream and he must go, but can anyone answer me this question...

Is trucking as great as what he thinks. Open roads, your own company truck, life alone or would you rate it as a dream to do to see that not all is what it seems. That it's a lonely job and your future should be with your loved one or family not a job that's to pay the bills.

Any advice or views please tell me, this is from a woman who loves a man more than words could ever say
