Salem born, ready for something more

I'm thirty-eight, born here, left for a decade, came back because family matters to me and Salem is where mine is. I'm a firefighter and my schedule is unconventional, so I need someone who's okay with that. I've been single for two years after a relationship that ended because my schedule was too much for her — which I understand, but I also can't change what I do. I want someone who understands that shift work means some weeks are intense. I'm direct, affectionate when I trust someone, and I'm looking for a real partnership. No drama, just honesty and effort. If that sounds like your kind of thing, I'd like to hear from you.
