    Lonliness on the road!
    Hello, this is a first for me but need some input on what to do. I live in California and I work on the railroad. My job takes me across the United States and I am out for 6-8 weeks at a time and home for only one week. I try going out when I am home but I feel that I won't really meet someone who would put up with me being away. This is a great job for me but should I consider taking a day to day job at home in order to find a partner.

    If you love your job I do not know why you could not find someone who would accept the length the time you are away from home. But it is tough, especially if you want to raise a family. My question is, what else would you want to do? What would make you happy and provide a good income for you? A person can be lonely anywhere and in any position - married or unmarried.

    That is very true!

    Also, someone who has a steady job with good income is more likely to attract someone who is desirable as a partner in a relationship.
