Not a problem at my house! We have been together over 25 yrs and my wife will tell you the last 2 yrs we have gotten along better then we did that 10 before that!! I try to stay out around 21-22 days a month.
Gee...we maybe married but not joined at the hip..hahaha
Have a cheap cell phone plan, use things like Skype or other video chat services and go home every so often. If you are passing thru while loaded, get ahead of the clock so you can meet for a quick lunch and still deliver on time.
If your spouse supports what you are doing....you figure out ways to make it work.

He enjoys his "Man Cave" and I enjoy my little house on the prairie...sure is good to see him every now and then though...
When I do make it home...after a week or so...JuJu will ask very politely of course.
When are you going back into service, dear? *LOL*
Actually JuJU still participates very much...she will map things out...check out receivers locations..make any calls to see if they open or whatever...she deals with any and all problems I might have with E-1..She checks weather looming ahead of me....it takes a load off my mind where I can just drive.
She may not be with me in body but shes my life mate/partner where ever I go...I am never alone...

ahhhhhhhh..I just love it when you get sappy! Luvs ya honey!
Gotta love her...
You see guys..this isn't embarrassing...your mate showing emotion ..you hold hands in public, you hug and kiss...why should this be any different?
You should never be embarrassed when the one you care for displays emotion...you should be proud and say..That's my gal!!!
It will make for a better relationship out here on the road...

LOL... I heard that! I got out of trucking for a while and ended up divorced. As it turns out, apparently I'm kind of an azz.

Spoken from the true Gangster of love..But really, you hit it on the head.So many drivers/guys treat their better halves like a doormat-total b.s !!! What you put into a relationship is what you will get out of it.Women need to be treated like a queen, nothing less.Don't go to bed mad, either!!! It sucks waking up mad at each other.Listening to Elvis Presley right now singing Burning Love. how apropriate !!Hunka Hunka Hunka burning love....

It depends on your relationship. My wife hated being alone for weeks at a time only to see me for maybe 36-42 hrs when I got back from OTR. I will admit there are times that you will get so focused on the job you will forget to check in at a specific time. She will let you know about it when that happens!
I am one of the few that do not talk on the cell and drive. I have a fear of killing somebody other than myself so I don't do it. I did miss a few check ins.
How does the "Boss" feel about you being out for 3-4 weeks or more?
Any kids? You'll miss out on them growing up...
Oh yea, there is a saying in the south:
"If she ain't happy, you ain't happy....." What will keep her happy?
