Single vs. Attached

by Megan

Now, I am sure that most of us would agree that being single definately makes things easier. You have no one to answer to when you don't show up cuz you're on a call, no one to check in with when you are at a fire scene for 6 hrs, etc. But my question is, does this ever work even if you find someone in the same field? I dated someone who was in EMS and he should have understood, but he got jealous if I got up to go to a call when we were hanging out, and got jealous of the time and dedication I was giving to the dept. Needless to say, he is no longer around, but I wonder does anyone have a really good thing going on where their S.O. isn't threatened by this? I get sooo tired of the drama that I see other FFs have to put up with with their GF's not understanding and constantly butting up against their dedication to the service. If it were me, I would cut them lose...but I have never had trouble breaking up with someone when it has gone south.

    me being single at the moment helps with calls my ex gf was always jelous of me goign to calls and spending alot of time with all the firefighters and at the fire dept when i was on a fire scene she'd call repeatedly and one time she ev en got in my truck and used my truck radio to call me on my handheld and i think that was the last thing that she did before i ended it.

    I think being single is easier with the fd but i think more than anything maybe we just need to find that certain kind of person who can deal with the life of a fire fighter! I know as a female a lot of men think its hot but it definitely takes a certain type of man not to get intimidated by a female fire fighter that even goes for other fire fighters. Ive dated other fire fighters and I never got jealous over it but they did...i think also its different cuz a lot of guys get all nervous cuz as a female fire fighter we are generally the only girl in a sea of men!

    wow - that jealousy seems over-the-top

    I do think having a partner is good - we need more than just the FD in our lives... however, it can be a challenge to find a good supportive partner that does not see the FD as the mistress who invades the relationship.
