Why does she want you to quit? If it's because your spending 4 nights a week at the station and all day every Saturday, she feels left out and you need to spend more time with her. If she just doesn't want to share you with anything, then in my opinion, your relationship won't last even if you quit.

Jonathan,

We are who we are because of our choices not what others choose for us. If love is involved it can be powerful over our decisions. Put love aside then think about staying or quitting the fire service. If your girlfriend reads FFN she might be jealous and want you to quit because your profile says single instead of in a relationship. Just a thought, I'm on my second marriage and had my share of girlfriends in the past (no, not when I was married) and have some experience in this matter. TCSS

Hey Jonathon

How long have you been going with this girl? I assume that you have talked with her about why you are involved, how it makes you feel, and the sense of pride you get from serving. I would ask her what she expects you to do if you are not a firefighter anymore? I would also ask her if she would give up something that gives her similar satisfaction?

If you don't get answers that make you feel like you are doing the right thing then maybe the relationship is doomed.

Hi Jonathan. Just wanted to make a comment to your question. I would definitely not listen to her . . . If she really knows and loves you she will understand that you enjoy what you're doing with your life by being there for your community whether by being with a paid or volunteer department. Our communities need us . . . if we weren't there for them who would be.
