as in they have an incurable disease, they have a limited time to live, you are about 40 years old and have a teenage child.
Would you encourage them to go out enjoy life and maybe meet another person to get romantically involved with or would you forbid them from doing so ever, or maybe something in between?
I came across a couple today, the wife was dying of cancer she had been getting worse over the last 6 months, she encouraged her husband to continue with his life and he found support in a colleague of his - a woman, his wife encourage him to spend time with her and said to him that if he has feelings for her she would die peacefully knowing he wouldnt be alone.
I was touched by her love but my friend thought the man was an evil ******** and didnt care for his wife at all.
I think it's easier said than done. Knowing full well that you're dying...and it's even worse when you have an idea of how much time you have left....that knowledge alone is stressful enough without having to ALSO deal with seeing your spouse with another person. Emotions are complicated...they're not always in a constant state.
It’s decided that if I’m about to die, I kill him and take him along with me (the sad part is, he’d let me, heh). Unless we have children, then that’s another issue. Kthankxbi.
