"I'm sorry you feel this way. I've been there! I was there every single hitch until my boyfriend was fed up and quit altogether. He comes from a family of oilmen and he'd just had enough. I just learned to be a good actress. I sucked…"

"My man's no longer in the industry, but I can still relate if you want someone to meet with on occasion. I had a really hard time dealing with the situation (he began working on a rig after we'd been together for over a year) and it was…"

"Thank you. You girls really are the only ones who understand. Although I cried all the way through reading your reply, it was sort of a relieved cry instead of a "i'm freakin nuts" kind of cry. I just needed to know that I…"

"I'm tearing up because I'm so glad I'm not the only one. You have no idea what I've gone through - some of my friends convincing me I need to "see someone" because I can't handle stress, so much that I was reported…"

"It is very true that it takes an oilfield wife to understand one...I myself have done the same things. It is funny the little things we do to get through the time apart. I check my phone all the time to make sure I have service so there no chance of…"

"I'm not sure if this fits in here or not, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread because this is - by 100% definition - rambling! I can't seem to get into my own groove after my man's gone. He does a 14/14. He was not in…"

""Hate bellyaching to friends who are in a different place"..... that's a perfect description. For friends who don't live like we live, they just don't get it. For others who try (who want to be our cheer-leading captain and…"

"I wish there was a "Like" button for your response! I don't know if I so much learned to be a loner as I've always been one, but I feel the same way... my husband works too hard for me to go out without him. We do have a…"

"If you read your post, you can see that you seem to get more and more upset as the story comes out. It hurts my heart because your pain is very clearly conveyed through your post. I wish I could say something that would make you feel better or help…"

"Iam from Central Louisiana so anyone from around here let me know. Most people arent really understanding when Iam not reachable for the 7 days when my hubby is home. He works 7 on 7 off, which flies by but means hardly no time at home. His family…"

"We recently moved from West Texas to East Texas - Frac. Meeting and making new friends in the oilfield has always been hard. Back in West Texas there was a clique of wives that were the exception - none of them had ever been displaced (more of a…"

"Do any of y'all ever think, "I just can't do this anymore?" Obviously all our situations have certain circumstances that make them unique but, seriously, I'm beginning to think I can't do this. Emotionally, I'm…"

"I became a member of this site about a year ago and love it...It is a great place for advice and to keep up with what is going on in the patch other than what our men have to say lol"

"I am up in Corsicana about 3 1/2 to 4 hours north of Houston.  "

"I'm down near Sugar Land. Oddly enough, about a mile away from his company office! I don't mind driving somewhere else, though. Where are you?"

"I never really thought about it but you do have a point.  At some point I have had a few friends that have felt that way and I guess I just looked at it as just one of those things.  I am truely lucky that I have a really close friend that…"
