writes: I fell in love with this man 9 years ago because we both were having problems in our marriages. Both of us wanted someone that wanted to be with us, so we started a relationship. He became a truck driver so as we could be together 24 hours a day. We did that for 2 years and I got my cdl and also drove. But after 2 years of being on the road, something was missing for me and I wanted some home time. The relationship ended because he said I didn't love him if I didn't want to be with him 24 hours 7 days a week. We still talk and we still love one another dearly but I can't seem to get him to understand that it wasn't that I didn't love him, but that sitting in that right hand seat 7 days a week just didn't give me any purpose in life. My question is: How do you explain to someone that you love them and love being with them but you just don't want a life on the road all the time, and that everyone needs more than just 4 days a week of home time?

Tell him that you love him and that you want to settle down and have a little nest to sit on.

 You just explained it clearly to me so I my guess is that he has other issues concerning your relationship. By the way, whatever DID happen to your spouses?

you have obviously tried on numerous occasions to tell this man that you love him and to no avail he has not listened, my advice to you would be to go out there and find your purpose in life, the reason why you didnt want to be in the passenger seat 24/7, then once you find it, if this man still loves you he should understand why you have done it because you will have some proof, good luck
