Missus wants to become a copper

[marty]

my wife was pregnant while i was away, and i was posted to huntly (my choice - hamilton wasn't available) when i came out - 45 minute drive from our house that we had JUST bought. we coped. not always easy, but we're still together and doing pretty well.

on the other side of the coin, my brothers wife was a teacher, then a cop. the shift work/police relationships/family was not kind to them - they split up. she's still a cop, now married to one.

As Marty sed, ya gotta watch out for the relationship, shift work of ANY sort can stress any relationship, throw in a stressfull type of work (arguing with KBers about whether cops need Tazers etc??) adds another dimension.

I met CB after the wheels fell of my first marraige, can't say if my job WAS the major factor - after I was in the job for the first year or so (but I'm happy now).

Thinking about it.......the only concern for her is the time away from home when training.......we are generally a happy little family and her abscence will be missed.

Any advice from the online coppers on the training and how individuals got around the mental block of being away from loved ones for so long would be welcomed

She will be fine... plently of testosterone for her to sort out down there, that will get her through, being pretty and all, no problems....

Now... as for you... Ummmm....

Take up crochet? Knitting, perhaps?
