There's nowhere I can't reach. so they may learn the glorious craft of acting from the dear leader |
Sorry but to say it like that, but if you seriously think about dating someone else while your wife's lying in coma, you're a fucking idiot. You married her because you promised that you'll always be there for her, in good and in hard times. So here's a hard time and you fucking have to deal with it.

It's simple really. You two made a vow that you would be there for each other. Well, now she's not holding up her end of the bargain. She can't comfort you when you're down or cook your favourite dinner whe you're sick when she's in a damn coma, can she? And those fuckers are expensive, and it's not like she's bringing any money in the relationship anymore. She broke her end of the deal first, is all I'm saying.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

in that situation the most correct is make what you hearth indicates, maybe you dont love anymore to your husband and even if he/she wake up all has gone it.

This reminds me of a story I heard once, about a couple that was in this situation. I think it occured somewhere in Europe, although I don't remember with certainty.
Anyway, a man's wife fell into a coma, and he waited a very long time for her, driving a very long way to see her every single day. Eventually, the pain of this was too much to bear, and he commited suicide. That same day (I think) his wife regained full consciousness. Damn. If such a thing happened to me, I truly think I would wait as long as it takes, and if not that, at least a good 5-10 years. And I certainly wouldn't kill myself. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Yeah, maybe if she woke up one day and said, "I think I'm going to disregard my marriage obligations by falling into a coma." EDIT: You make it sound like the fact that she's "not holding up her end of the bargain" is her fault. Technically she's not, but chances are it wasn't her choice to do that, now was it? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Accepting that you are not able to be with the person that you love does *not* mean that you no longer love that person. Double Post:

I think what we've all said now would have some factor in such a decision later on, were it to happen. But if it has no influence, if it's just all so ambiguous, so "impossible for us to imagine how we'd react" in the end, then I guess this discussion is pointless, and this thread is over. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Of course I don't know PiccoloNamek. But that doesn't change the fact that he/she doesn't know that aspect of themselves.
What is silly is people claiming that they know how they'll react under difficult circumstances. Especially at this relatively young stage of their lives. That's not to say that discussing one's current views on what they may do, and what they hope they would do is pointless. Just that making any kind of concrete prediction is just a guess. Unless of course you want to argue that one's self perception is ever so accurate. Also, what bearing does the coma victim having made a choice in the matter have on the situation? How does *your* vow have anything to do with their vow? Do *you* love only because your lover loves you back? Or is your love independant of their feelings? FELIPE NO

No. I'm pretty sure I do know that aspect of myself. Introspection is something I have done a lot of in my life, especially concerning issues such as marriage, love, fidelity, and even death. And knowing what I know about myself, I know that I would wait for her.
I know what I would do. I can't say for sure exactly how long I would wait, but I know that I would not simply abandon the person I care for the most after only a few years. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Look up at the sky!
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's super emo dude! Wait a second... super emo dude can't fly........ well, i wouldn't jump... just be super emo and probably wouldn't serious engage with someone, i would think. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

But I do plenty of productive things. This week was holy week, and I was up at the crack of dawn every day to run the mixing console at church. Then I went home and post-produced the sermons that were given, so that they were suitable for radio broadcast.
Soon, I will be setting up their computer systems. (We just recieved a shipment of literally dozens of computers.) But I still set aside time for thought, usually when I'm out taking photographs. (That's productive, too!) Although I still contend that I know myself well. As for your second point, I suppose I can't really argue with that. Point taken. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Watch the anime series, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.p...=anime&aid=896 its a very good story and answers your question I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
What? I'm not going to watch some 14 episodes of a show to find out it's creator's interpretation of the subject. If you want to take their views as your own, you could share them with the rest of the group.
Edit: That came out harsh. Didn't mean it as such. How ya doing, buddy?

Blah..you can't even connect to GFF for a few days and look what happens. :doh:
If recovery was that simple, there would be no need for doctors or nurses, or medicine as a whole for that matter. By that logic, my grandfather must've not tried hard enough to get rid of that stomach cancer, or any of my ancestors to finally get over old age, or Scarlet Fever or Smallpox. And where did this idea that the woman put herself in the coma come from? I even went through the thread looking for that and all I've seen is that DragoonKain said "for whatever reason", not "she hates your guts and tried to kill herself but ended up in a coma instead." What if she still loved you? What if she was so sorry that things were like this, even if it was through no fault of her own? What if she so wishes she could wake up but her body is incapable of doing so alone?
Even if that was the case, I tell you again that I'm unsure of what I would do. I base that on my perception of myself now, as well as the fact that there are numerous, perhaps endless, ways in which this situation could have come about. All I can really say for certain is that the decision would not be made without much consideration, and that uncertainty would not warrant the notion of dropping her like a bad habit.

Someone mentioned the anime "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien" earlier in the thread; it's the first thing I thought about after reading this topic's title.
The story plays out a bit like this: Spoiler:

This is the kind of hardcore shit that brought down Jim Bakker. You can't do that. The unfortunate truth of the matter is, expecting mere words said in a church to be eternally binding forever and ever is holding human beings to an impossible standard. Also, loving everyone's responses to Lurker here. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
