To the original question:
Yeah. I would not hire you with that sort of record. And I'm sure when I went through your Facebook, linked in, etc., before I hired you, I would probably find other instances that display emotional immaturity similar to the ones displayed in this thread and others in regards to personal relationships.
EMS is messy. You get emotionally close and physically (not necessarily sexually, just meaning, in a closed space chatting for a long time, or in close working quarters) close with persons of the opposite sex. You get much closer with coworkers in this job than other ones. My bosses never call me "Mr. Runkle" or even "Josh", they call me "Bro", "Brother" or "Dude", and that familiarity is not from a loss of respect for roles or positions, but rather a bond forged in fire from tough work together. There is slightly more of a "family" feel to your coworkers and crew/unit, just because of the nature of the job.
With your history, I would be wary of having you get emotionally attached to a coworker in an odd way. I don't know you; I'm not going to give an unknown the benefit of the doubt rather than looking out for my coworkers.
However...in many state's you can go before a judge and prove that you are a different person or prove extenuating circumstances, and then get your record sealed or expunged, in which case, you would not have to discuss it with future employers. However, you've already posted all of this on the Internet, and most employers will read that type of stuff before offering you a job.
Try to get it sealed or expunged, move to a different area, keep your head down and your nose clean, do some maturing (because your "explanations" come across as lame excuses, and you don't seem to own up to your crap). Get a job, even part time or contingent, and build a solid work history of being a great employee.
