Why you ladies think that, God forbid, something will happen to your husbands? How about a little bit of positivity ?

Life is unpredictable and while no one wants to think about it , death, disability, divorces happen anyway. why ignore reality and not plan for some eventualities? Far too many ladies that have spent their life “thinking positively” only end up at the mercy of (and thus beholden) their relatives or govt assistance. not exactly a life of dignity if you ask me.

What about if something happens to you then what will happen to your husband & kids? Ever thought about that? How about finding him a girl, while you are alive, who can marry her & become his wife & step mother to your kids as a back up plan when you die/get divorced/ cheat on your husband?

***Cant speak for all women but for myself yes I have thought about it. infact I have a living will/advanced directive that tells my husband and family exactly what to do and how to proceed in case i am overcome by terminal illness/injury. My husband is free to do as he feels appropriate in regards to remarriage in case of my death … but knows what my preferences are in that issue. My will has specific directions as to rearing of my children, guardianship and use/control of my estate in their rearing and its division once they come of age. im always surprised when I find ppl who havnt done any of the above … ***

in general though … men rarely need help in remarrying and your suggestion of a wife finding a potential future wife is impracticable cuz … who knows when death/divorce/disability is coming … and the lady earmarked for the husband might be long married/or dead herself long before the current wife dies …
