To think that there are more affairs in the police force

[everafteragain]

I have a friend who is a police officer. The stories she tells me about work colleagues having affairs behind their husbands/wife's backs seems to be a new one every week.
I have known her for years and some of the details of these stories maybe exaggerated but I have no reason to think she is lying.
The thing is these affairs are all happening during work hours, mainly on night shifts. Quite often the people involved end up leaving their partners and family's but then a few years down the line they have another affair with another colleague
Not just uniformed officers but support staff (phone) too.
Now I haven't been living under a rock and I realise affairs happen but it seems rife in the police force.
Not only that but should they not actually be policing rather than shagging it is that just me ?

I am going to wedding in a few weeks. The groom is in his seventies, a former policer officer and this is his fourth marriage. This is the only time he has married when his previous relationship didn't follow an affair.

Larlarland hopefully he has grown up a bit

So if it’s the officers that are office bound on night shifts would they likely be inspectors? Starting to worry here? My husband is ex MET (7 yrs) then joined another organisation for 7 yrs but missed policing so has gone direct entry Inspector and I am beside myself now that he will fall prey to the women on his 10 wk training course? Please somebody reassure me, I am a busy business women with 3 children (our youngest being 17 months) and I love my husband and very proud of his achievements but reading this......I am concerned I will no longer have anything in common with him and he will turn to someone o shift that understands it all. This I know all too well after over 2 decades in the military and witnessed so much infidelity on a daily basis. Give me something reassuring please!!!

I'm sure some of them are capable of being faithful Juliejules.

My ex fiancé was a policeman and he had an affair. I remember saying to him, while splitting up, that I couldn't believe he'd cheated and he replied that it was normal, everyone at work did it! 😱😱
