Cops, Docs, and military are all jobs that one gets to or has to keep secrets. This dosn't mean tell lies really, but they get to practice keeping information from others with a straight face. Even others that they are friends with... or more involved. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">This is true. Another thing is it is harder for them to be held accountable. Not sure if accountable is the right word. A lot easier for them to "disappear" and have a good reason for it, and really no way for us to verify. Oh, sorry hun got a long call, couldn't check in, you know I can't answer my phone while I'm on a call. Sorry hun, had an emergency surgery, couldn't get to a phone.
I'm not sure about Dr. wives, but I know as an officers wife, it's not very good to have your wife calling the station all the time etc..
In fact, I remember one night dh was supposed to be home at like midnight. I woke up at 3am he wasn't home. I called his cell couldn't get ahold of him. I was scared to call the station. Fell back asleep, around 430 I woke up he still wasn't home. I finally called the station. He was there, had a late case, but he never bothered to called. I was not a very happy camper to say the least. When we talked to my Dad about it, my dad said "oh your're one of those wives.!!"
In July dh was away for training for 5 weeks. We agreed before he left no bars, especially no strip clubs etc. Well he went to a bar, when he was around other he was very short etc. I was again talking to my Dad about it, he said that going out like htat is what "the guys" do. Go out for a drink after work etc. I said he is married, he doesn't need to go out like that especially with his past of an EA etc. Again, my Dad said I need to quit being "one of those wives". The whole time I"m thinking yeah advice coming from a man married and divorced 3x lol..
