Re: if you were to ...
Though I'd totally hate to say it, but considering that my hubby is also a human, if I were to die tomorrow, then yes, I would tell him to marry someone after I'm bye bye.
Regarding his reaction, he told me once that he would never, but I think that eventually he would have to, for his own sanity. It would be ever so lonely to age in solitude, without a companion or without love.
