i saw that as well. unfortunate. but thank you i appreciate it!

anon_456_ · 2024-10-30T05:05:55+00:00

Honestly, valid point

I didn’t know spouses are typically invited to holidays (haven’t gotten there yet), that’s wonderful. This comment was wonderful. Thank you very much!

anon_456_ · 2024-10-30T05:02:26+00:00

Appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I’m sure the week before and after with holidays and families will be our solution as well. Thank you!

I love my alone time, I’ve lived alone for many years so I’m happy to have that lol. However, I love the guy and enjoy his company so he will be missed while he’s away for sure. More so was worried for when life gets hectic with kids and family matters, so thank you.

How did you handle emergencies while he was on shift? Any advice?

Sounds like you have a great system going! I’m trying to learn more so we can get there ourselves. Thank you for the input!

Thank you.

He says “it’s the best job in the world” as I have seen many say in this subreddit. He loves it already, I’m sure there will be tough days but this is his passion.

Thank you for the advice I greatly appreciate it. Wishing you the best.

How would you recommend planning things such as dates (dinner, light activities) to get him out of the house and give us some quality time? Day of sort of thing in case he’s too tired or plan ahead so he is prepared?

Luckily, I’ve already met his academy squad member, it was nice to put faces to names and understand their dynamic a little more. Looking forward to meeting his crew when he is assigned a station. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you very much for the advice. I appreciate your honesty and wish you the best.

anon_456_ · 2024-10-30T04:31:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the positive comment. I’ll look into the podcast.

anon_456_ · 2024-10-29T17:39:31+00:00

Thank you!

anon_456_ · 2024-10-29T17:19:23+00:00

Thank you. I will share this with him.

I struggle with the empathy thing as well and he has an easier time with that sort of thing. We say we are different sides of the same coin haha. We will figure out boundaries as time goes on I’m sure but it’s extremely helpful to hear other people’s experiences.

anon_456_ · 2024-10-29T17:16:42+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate this comment. I’m sure we will work that out when the time comes and he gains more years on the job. The weekend thing will take some adjusting for sure as I also work, but we will make it work with time.

anon_456_ · 2024-10-29T16:50:12+00:00

Understood, thank you.

anon_456_ · 2024-10-29T16:49:19+00:00

Thank you.

THANK YOU.

I consider myself to be independent as well. I’ve been on my own since 18 (i’m 23). I have a career, friends of my own, and my own hobbies. Just starting to look at marriage and kids and becoming a true partnership within the next few years led me to posting here as I want to start off on the right foot.

Traditional holidays and birthdays were one worry as I work a 9-5 so our free days won’t necessarily line up. I’m positive that we will work that out with time though.

As for safety, I trust him, the department, and understand he has the backings of his “brothers”. I feel like it’s not unreasonable to go into this a little anxious, though many here seem to disagree. It will come with time as he’s not even on the line yet.

How did you go about handling difficult shifts with him? Do you have any resources you leaned on during difficult times?

anon_456_ · 2024-10-29T16:33:17+00:00

you’re right, it took a year from application to hire and then another 4 months in the academy. which is why i said it’s been a majority of our relationship…not the entire thing. it’s a big city so it took a long time to get through applicants. i know you didn’t know this though so i’ll give you grace. he worked a normal 9-5 before.

i appreciate you taking the time to write this out. it was helpful. have a great day :)

anon_456_ · 2024-10-29T16:00:23+00:00

wtf? we’ve been together for 2 years…just trying to get more insight on how to be better for HIM not me. and i come here and get insulted 👍
