24 Things You'll Only Understand If Your Other Half Is a Firefighter

He’s got a heart the size of Texas and spends every day risking his life for absolute strangers. If that’s not boyfriend material I don’t know what is… 

If you’re lucky enough to say your other half if a firefighter, keep him. You’re in for a bumpy ride, but believe me, he’s worth it. 

  1. You’ll learn how to truly cherish the moments you have together 

  2. Because you never know what each call could bring

  3.  And you’ll realize how important he is to you when he forgets to shoot you a "I'm safe" text

  4. Holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries will be missed

  5. But you learn they are just days and can still be celebrated with just as much love on another day

  6. A lot of what he sees stays with him

  7. So the nightmares are intense and often

  8. All you have to do is be there to comfort him until the fear passes

  9. You have your phone and wallet on you at all times

  10. Because you never know when he’s gonna leave you stranded when he gets a call

  11. And eventually, you get used to his crazy schedule 

  12. It’s a big deal whenever he sees a fire truck driving down the road

  13. His ‘fire family’ will become your family

  14. And you’re constantly shown videos, memes, and pictures of anything fire related

  15. His ego is the size of a match head

  16. He curses like a sailor

  17. And his mind is usually in the gutter

  18. But what else would you expect? 

  19. And when it comes to death, he’s not very empathetic 

  20. So you’ll have to forgive his dark sense of humor 

  21. It’s just how he copes

  22. Most importantly, your firefighter will be the most loving, caring, compassionate guy you’ll ever meet 

  23. And he will protect you like no one else

  24.  So if you land a fire fighter, never let him go
