SheilaB28 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 My hubby and I have been married for the past 8 years and together for 9. We got marired young he was 19 and I was 20. We have 1 child, she's 4. 6 of the 8 years of our marriage my hubby has been away from home working (he's a trucker). he is gone for at least a week at a time. I have asked him to consider coming home and working locally, but he ignores the idea. As I mentioned our daughter is 4 and she is currently in preschool, not to mention the fact that I work full time also. He's spent so much time away from home that I feel like I'm a Single Parent. I explained to him that our daughter is getting older and she is at a point where she does not understand why daddy has to always be gone. When he does come home he does not spend any time with her nor me. He seems to not like the idea of bieng home with his family. He's angry a lot and very distant. I'm trying to get him to understand that he needs to make the sacrifice of coming home and being with his family or risk losing his family. It should be obvious to him that we can manage without him. I am really burning out in this relationship. I am responsible for ensuring that everything in my family is taken care of and he acts as if he does not appreciate me and all of my efforts. Can someone Please tell me... What's a girl to do? Link to post Share on other sites
