there are a lot of people in this world who work far away from thier homes..truck drivers who do long hauls for example..air line pilots..military servicemen etc. i myself work for a company that deals with interior steel construction,and i am called away from home very often. my question is..do you ladies think or feel that love can be strong enough to bare such hardships,knowing that your men are away from you for long periods of times

Yeah I'd like to know this answer too. I work for the railroad and when I go to work I'm gone for a day or so. I'm not a workaholic but I do like my job. Do tell.

I think it may be easier to sustain a relationship when their not around 24/7.

I think any type of relationship can work if there is trust and communication; oh,yeah, and respect. I personally have been single a long time so I wouldn't mind someone who wasn't hanging around me 24/7. I enjoy my alone time.

I think it can work, but it's difficult. Relationships take a lot of work, and if you are only around a couple days a week, doesn't leave much time. Depends on the couple, I guess.

I think it can, but of course it depends on the people involved, or I guess the maturity of the people involved. If both people work on a relationship it will work. Absences can be worked around, you just make the best of the time you are together, make sure it is real "quality" time. Good luck in your search.

but say that your man is home one month out of every two..this means that he is away from home for six month's out of every year..does it still mean the same?

My ex told me that we never got along better then when he was out of town for weeks at a time. He said I showed him much more affection when he came home. So I guess it can be a positive depending on the people invovled.

I wouldnt mind, if I could trust you and we dated for a long time. My father had to go to other cities for work for a few months, so im kinda used to it.

but say that your man is home one month out of every two..this means that he is away from home for six month's out of every year..does it still mean the same? yes- but she would need to be a strong, confident, independent woman with a life of her own; and a realtionship based on trust and communication is crucial. Somebody like me or Gowings would probably fit the bill...

Somebody like me or Gowings would probably fit the bill... And both parties would have to have faith, trust, and confidence in the relationship. If either one cant do it, it wont work. Let me flip it, could you handle being away that long and could you trust your gal to stay strong for you?
