Dating someone in law enforcement definitely has it's pros and cons. Unless you're dating someone in law enforcement, you may not understand the things I'm going to talk about, but if you do date someone in this profession, I can guarantee you can relate with me. So here it goes....
1. You will always feel safe.
This is one of the best things about dating a police officer. No matter where you are with them, you won't ever not feel safe.If anything were to go wrong, you know you're in good hands.
2. Plans are never set in stone.
Whether it be your birthday, a holiday, or a special occasion, if they get called into work, they will have to go in. So sometimes special occasions have to be celebrated a week later, but hey better late than never!
3. Their job isn't an easy one, and sometimes it comes home with them.
If they had a bad day, most of the time it will come home with them, and most of the time they won't want to talk about it. They work a very stressful job, so when they do have a bad day you have to reassure them that you're there for them.
4. A simple goodbye is never just a simple goodbye.
When your significant other leaves for his/her shift, saying goodbye isn't always easy. Knowing that he/she will be out putting his/her life on the line isn't an easy pill to swallow, but its what they signed up for. They don't carry a gun and wear a bullet proof vest for fun.
5.They never sit with their back towards a door.
Going out to eat means allowing your significant other dibs on which seat he/she would like. Most of the time they want to see the door to see who's coming and going, so always let them pick where they sit.
6.The brotherhood is strong
There's no bond that compares to the one law enforcement officers have. It's safe to say that if it affects one, it affect all. Its much more than a brotherhood.
To all the other people dating someone in law enforcement, I'm sure you can relate. Although its not easy, we take the good with the bad and at the end of the day you know you've got their six.
