read ur post for the first time gal, must say never wanted while i was married and on the road, however, working across europe it was tempting. now i just have other problems, my partner, bless her, just has to put up with me recovering from shoulder and neck injuries and people asking if her ‘dad’ is ok. there is somewhat of an age difference between us. whilst i was married i found the other half had a passion for drivers… usually someone i worked with and knew when i was away. so for your plight i am sorry to say it can be a double edged sword.
