There are cases when young wives of businessmen and managers complain that their husbands are very busy with work, they are rarely at home, always tired and depressed. However, at this moment they hardly think about the wives of men who, by the nature of their work, have to leave home not for a day or even for a week, but for many months. These men include military and merchant sailors, members of the crew of the fishing fleet.
The fate of sailors' wives is often very difficult. They go through long months of waiting until the husband returns from the next flight. Often, when they meet their husbands, women begin to sob and ask him to "leave the sea" and get another job. But sailors chose the water element as their profession, usually this is the only choice for life. Flight after flight passes, the situation repeats itself, and gradually the spouse begins to realize that her husband is not able to live without his beloved sea, ship and crew, and puts up with it.
From this moment, wives begin to wait faithfully for their loved ones. What can help you overcome separation and loneliness? First of all, it is work and patience, which is taught in childhood. No wonder they say: "Patience and work will grind everything." And such women will have to work enough. There is a lot to learn: most often painting walls, whitewashing ceilings, rearranging and assembling furniture, repairing a vacuum cleaner and an iron, etc. But the most difficult thing is to educate children in such a way that they do not feel the long absence of their dad.
There are also some positive aspects here. How much joy comes from meeting a husband (and children - with a father) after such a long separation! In addition, today you can contact your sailor in a variety of ways, even when he is on a voyage. It is enough to call the dispatcher of the required port by phone and specify when the husband's ship will arrive. Upon arrival at the port, the man is told that his relatives have called him, and he will never make him wait for a return call. Also, many sailors take convenient means of communication with them - laptops, satellite phones and much more. With the help of them, you can communicate even on the high seas and arrange videoconferencing sessions.
The most important thing for a sailor's wife is to love her husband. It is love that makes you experience all the difficult times of separation and not be angry with your beloved for having devoted his life to such a difficult profession.
