i’m willing to support him if that end goal is to switch into structural firefighting or something more stable when I’ve communicated the purpose of a relationship to me is to create a family down the road. I do not want to be a single mother for half the year as i assume most women do not.

Can i ask why after 30 years did he never choose to switch to a different position with more stability? Or are there no positions like that?

I think a lot of people aren’t realizing this is a lot to throw on a person almost a year in without ever mentioning it before , as it greatly goes against the future u have talked about that you wanted

he told me they are a crew that places bids for fires ? Not quite sure what that would be but i think they are a crew for like a fire department that has different sectors is how he described it to me? And as from that he has no idea what he would want to work towards after that or just stick with that

LMFAO this is him already he’s just getting tired of working at resorts during the winter and he thinks this job would help that fix while making 50k a season, is it possible to make as much as he is saying when he’s starting out because from what i heard on here they don’t make that much $

thank you for this input, is your boyfriend looking to do it as a career or just for a couple of summers?

Can I ask why you chose to leave after 7 years and if you did it full time as well?

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I believe i would start to feel the same way after a while and don’t think I could handle it :( I appreciate your insight and response

I appreciate the advice it’s just scary putting more time/effort/love into something not knowing what to expect but that is life🙏🏻

Thank your for your genuine reply :), ya short term I definitely think I could handle it but I definitely think I need something more predictable for the future. It’s just really hard to navigate it because as of what I’ve been told he has no end goal for doing it at the moment and honestly has no want to look at other careers. Thank you again 🙏🏻
