Am I Wrong?

I don't know what part of world you live, but here, cops and firemen make some pretty good money. I think that yes, you're being selfish for saying no. I think as his girlfriend, you should support his dreams but at the same time encourage him about other possibilities in life especially with his talent.

Its his dream and he is just pursuing it , I understand why you said no because its a very dangerous Job, its not easy.

I can totally understand why you'd not want your boyfriend to be in harm's way. Still, police officers help keep all of us safe...it's a really important job. The pay can actually be quite good too, depending on where he works. To be honest, there are even more dangerous professions out there in terms of fatality statistics like logging and fishing. Obviously cops do have to deal with unsavory characters on a daily basis so I don't want to downplay the risks they face, but don't assume the worst would happen to him either. Since it does upset you so, I think you should definitely talk it over with him and tell him all of your concerns. You can't force him to go to college or be an artist if he doesn't want to, but maybe if he understands where you're coming from he'll change his mind. I doubt he's all that set in his mind about it...most people out of high school aren't.

I don't think your wrong per say for your feelings at all, I would feel the same way. However, maybe you shouldn't tell him no. Possibly discuss other possibilities, better ones for both of you. Plus, when you tell someone no they want to do it more. It doesn't matter who it is, when you tell someone they cannot do something it's more of a challenge to do it anyway. Good luck with everything!
