Would you do in these situations ?

[browneyes106]

-Your SO is injured in an accident/incident and is paralyzed from the neck down. Would you stay with him/her?

-Your S0 is injured in an accident/incident and is severely brain damaged or in a coma. Would you stay with him/her?

 

[cheermom1]

of course I would no doubt about it

of course he would want me to move on and find someone that can do the things he couldn't but I wouldn't be able too can't change who you love ....

 

[kirbsam]

yes. yes. pretty easy actually. and for those who say, well you really dont know what you would do, i say, yes i do.

 

[SundancePass]

Yes and Yes. After 40 great years of marriage, the answer is absolutley yes...I'd stay.

I think that goes along with for sickness or health

 

[ols386]

Yes, for sure, I'd stay.

IN the second situation, if it were determined that there was no or very little possibility of recovery (assuming the brain damage was very severe and she had little functioning), my SO would prefer that I "pull the plug", which I agree would be the clearly humane option. (this is something we've discussed, and I would honor her decision)

In the first situation, I wouldn't leave her. But I can imagine her saying "I don't want you to be bound to me anymore as my SO" given her greatly diminished functioning and concern for my needs. I don't know -- there would have to be a lot of conversations with her about it.

 

[NikiM20]

Yes Yes Yes............I love him very much and it is in our vows.

 

[JessicaR]

Absolutely would stay.

 

[Eeyores Butterfly]

My SO and I are boyfriend and girlfriend at the moment. So I honestly don't know.

As to the first one: most likely I would stay unless some aspect of his personality seriously changed. I would at least stay initially and see how things go from there.

As to the second one: It would honestly depend on how long and what the prognosis is. I love him deeply, but I do want to get married and have kids. What if they tell me he is never going to wake up? How long should I wait? One year? Ten years? I know that I would wait for awhile, but for how long I cannot say without being in that position.

Of course, at this stage of the relationship, while I am pretty sure we will be getting married one day, anything can still happen. I have a feeling if we were married, my answers may be different.

 

[Dax]

Yes to both...

 

[kbkids]

Totally agree.

 

[ntsammy5]

 

[clgwli]

Yes. I am married and vows say for better or worse.

That said we both feel that if there is no hope of regaining conciousness or that we are brain dead artificial life support and feeding tubes should be removed.

 

[Judy Judy Judy]

Yes without any doubt in my mind I would.

 

[quasar4legs]

Yes, yes.

Trish

 

[Freyja]

1) Yes. However, that being said, I also know that in situations like these people personalities tend to change severely. I am not sure I could stay married for decades to a man who was severely depressed, abused drugs and/or alcolohol, etc.

2) We would both want the plug to be pulled. If that was not an option I can not guarantee what I would do. I honestly can´t see the point in being married to someone who isn´t in the marriage, or in this life, anymore.

 

[minnie61650]

Of course.
We have been married 40 years and he is the Love of my life.

 

[Nancyg56]

Yes and Yes

 

[ericamanda01]

Yes because our vows said in sickness and in health, not just health.
