I've found that it's kind of a job hazard.  My wife and I are both cops, and
it actually helps me to relax a bit off-duty, knowing there is another
trained person with me...We also spend time discussing tactical plans for
off-duty incidents, so that a part of it too.

I think a combination of perpetual "condition Yellow," and cumulative post
trauma stress disorder accounts for the relatively high number of
alcohol/drug abuse, domestic violence, and suicide incidents within law
enforcement.  

Anyway, that's my dime-store head shrinking for you...
