My wife sent this to me, she thought it was very profound and accurate and wanted me to share. She said it was dusty in the house when she read it....

Probably why mine is an ex-wife, couldn't deal with the stress.

I've changed jobs but still wear a uniform, just not on streets anymore.

I'm always torn on whether to share shit like that with my wife. A lot of truth in it... A lot. The job changes the wives almost as much as it changes us, it can be hard at times not to feel guilty about it, even though I was a cop when we met... Almost like we steal the ability for them to wander through life oblivious amd normal like any other non LEO or .mil wife

I've often struggled with what to tell her and what not too as well. You want them to be aware to a certain degree so they understand certain things but also be nieve at some point to how fucked up society is at times.
