Your loved one falls into a coma. Do you start dating again?

Say you are married, and your spouse falls into a coma, for whatever reason. Her wish to you was always to let her stay in the coma, for as long as it takes, because there might be a chance he/she could wake up.

So obviously you wait a long time to see if she wakes up. So 5-10 years go by, and your spouse is still in the coma. Do you start dating again? Would you care about that fact that one day she could wake up, and find her husband remarried with another woman?

If not 5-10 years, then how long would you wait? Would it be 20 years? Would you never move on and just ride it out with your spouse who is in the coma?

What would you do?

It's hard for me to say, because while I am a loyalist, if I got married in my 30s, then I don't know if I could go my whole life without having someone to care for, and also not having sex again.

But then if you do start dating again and remarry, and your spouse wakes up from her coma and can't wait to see their spouse. Then they find out that their spouse remarried, and are like what the hell?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I remember a story where a guy came out of a coma after 20 years. That is incredible.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
