I admire the wives of not only firefighters, but volunteer workers as well, those who risk their lives to save other people’s lives. It takes a lot of guts to hope everyday that your husbands will go home safe..
Thank you Caitlin, how did you come to find my site?

I really feel this line in your post about the poem.
If my husband walked away because he felt I couldn’t handle it anymore, I would feel like a failure.
Amen.
I knew you would feel the same
Again, love your post. If my husband wasn’t a fireman, he would have still ended up in a career where his life was on the line (military, FBI, secret service agent) for the sake of saving someone elses.
Welcome to my blog Kristia, glad you found me and thank you for commenting!
This one always tugs at my heart! Ooof!
I am not only a firefighters gurl but also on my self…by having read this it just make me think even more how much it means to him that im not at home but by his side…I know his pain and have also been almost dead…Thank you for posting this and opening my eyes even more.
My girlfriend hates that im a firefighter. She loses sleep over it and is generally depressed. She wants me to quit or she says it will kill her. I love her very much, but i feel a need to continue my career. I don’t ever want to leave her or have her get physically ill but i need her to support me. What do i do?
Sorry Aaron that you aren’t supported. As I’m not a professional and definitely don’t have both sides of the story to be able to help, I can only offer a bit of my personal take.
If my husband ever voluntarily quit being a firefighter then he wouldn’t be the man I love. I never wanted to change the strong, compassionate man he’s always been and what I’m sure brought me to love him 20 years ago. Yes, many things drive me crazy. But I’m not ignorant to the fact that he has to put up with my issues and work as well. lol
Hey Aaron listen take her out to a fancy dinner and sit down and tell her how you feel about everything…most of the time that makes it better and makes them think about it…tell her how you fell about being a firefighter…
Thanks for helping by commenting Emily. Talking about it is always a good solution and making the conversation about how “I” feel so no one feels threatened at all.
yea i know….I mean im only here to help anyone who needs it…ive been through alot and know alot…i dont want anyone to go through whai have been…by the way your welcome
