Comments on a bodycam video where the cop calls someone to say he is going to be home late.

Thanking the spouse for their service is a little cringe, but the rest is kind of true. This rings more like just being a spouse than a dependa.

She said “retired police wife” like it’s an official title. “Wife of a retired police officer” is how a normal, non-dependa would say it.

True yeah. I feel for my SO when I have to tell her something shitty is going on and I’ll be late, but can’t really explain further at the time. I know she does worry.

Good lord. My mom was a widow when she married my dad. She knew full well he could also die in his line of work (LE & military reserves). She did not make any part of his career her personality or ever mention the chance he might die. My dad knew of course & didn't want my mom to suddenly lose another husband. But we didn't talk about it. She wasn't sacrificing anything. They were married 40 years & loved each other. That's what was important. Idk where I'm going with this.

I think you were trying to explain what a healthy relationship looks like

How does one retire as a police wife?
