Email Carolyn at [email protected]HomeGetting over the loss of loveDear Carolyn, How do you get over the loss of love? For very long and complicated reasons the love of my life, the light of my existence, the reason for getting out of bed in the morning, is gone. There’s no possibility that our relationship will ever work out and while I understand it, I […]January 18, 2009HomeGut check?Dear Carolyn,How much stock do you put into “gut feelings?” I’m not too sure about this guy I’ve been dating for about two months. It seems like he’s interested but I’m doing all the work. I make the plans, bring the pizza, rent the movie and spend the gas driving to his place. I don’t […]January 16, 2009HomeWhat's with the Valentine's Day stuff already up?Dear Carolyn, Do you know what really burns me up? I haven’t even paid my Christmas bills yet and already Valentine’s Day stuff is on the shelves. No wonder guys hate this holiday. We have to start worrying about how we are going to screw up February in Jan-u-freaking-ary. I’m telling you;it’s not fair!JJ Dear […]January 12, 2009HomeHe won't quit truckingDear Carolyn, I’m getting sick of my husband always being gone. He’s on the road at least two out of four weeks a month. It didn’t seem so bad when we were first married but now I’d like for him to consider changing careers. He won’t even talk about it. Not only that, he says […]January 9, 2009HomeGiving the bootDear Carolyn, My boyfriend is a long haul trucker and we’ve been dating for about six years. I’m a little bit worried though because for the last few months he’s stopped calling me. I realize he’s on the road all the time but surely he has time to return a phone call or text message? […]January 5, 2009HomeWhy can't we be friends?Dear Carolyn, Can former lovers really carve out a friendship? Please hurry and answer this because I don’t know what to do. We think we can do it, but if it’s hopeless, I don’t want to go down that road. Jessie Dear Jessie,It can be done. I’ve seen it done. But the question I have […]January 2, 2009HomeTexting under the influenceDear Carolyn, I did a really stupid thing. I drunk/texted an old boyfriend. It was a weak moment and I’m really embarrassed about it now. He’s taken it as an interest indicator and I don’t know how to get myself out of this. I like him but not in “that” way. How do I tell […]January 2, 2009HomeNew Year's RevolutionDear Carolyn, I’m working on some New Year’s Resolutions this year. Most of them are lame like lose weight, work out, eat less sugar, call mom, read a book. But what I really want to do is meet a good woman that I can come home to after a long week on the road. It’s […]January 2, 2009HomeI'm not That Guy, am I?Dear Carolyn, I’ve had a very close friendship with a woman who works for the same trucking company I do. I am 15 years older than she is and am self-conscious about our age difference. I don’t want to be That Guy who hits on younger girls. But I really like her and would like […]January 2, 2009Previous PagePage 23 of 23Top StoriesPride & PolishOverdrive's Pride & Polish: Vote for your favorite rigs todayCast your vote through Nov. 30 for the best truck in each of five categories: Antique, Interior, Limited Mileage, Working Bobtail, and Working Combo.RegulationsDOT reveals the real reason it's pushing out 200,000 non-domiciled CDL driversSmall Fleet ChampRoadside war stories, camaraderie, ownership advice: Small Fleet Champs deliverTrucker of the YearTrucker of the Month John Penn reaps 10-mpg-plus rewards of two decades learning, growingFeatured SponsorHowes
