When firefighter couples struggle with professional boundaries and crew dynamics

My partner and I are both firefighters at the same station and we've started second-guessing each other's calls during emergencies and it's bleeding into our personal relationship and affecting how we work with the rest of our crew. We can't separate what happens at home from what happens on scene anymore and I'm worried we're becoming a liability to each other and everyone else.
