If you had to choose between your "significant other" leaving you or dying, which would it be?
Find answers to your legal question.





If you had to choose between your "significant other" leaving you or dying, which would it be?

This was asked in one of my psychology classes, and just thinking about each scenario made some of us cry! Could you choose if you had to?
Additional Details
Wow! You guys all gave such heart-felt answers -- thank you from the bottom of my heart! We learned through feed-back that most people would choose for their significant other to leave rather die. This especially affected those with children in the household -- it was amazingly touching to hear how so many would gladly endure heartache rather than see their children be fatherless or motherless. This question stirred up raw emotion in many -- use it to drawn closer to the one you love!!!

God bless!!!

Leaving me...we've got a son who ADORES him. I'd never want my son to not have his dad.
Plus, I know that no matter what, I'll always love him and I'd never want him dead no matter how bad he pissed me off.

He can leave. My husband is a want not a need.

till death do us part- at least you know you have lived with the person of your dreams until the end-

Leaving me. I would rather have him alive and happy, even if not with me, than dead.

leaving. dying seems so final.

I think I would choose to die because if I lost him, I would feel like I was dying anyway. Now, if you're talking about losing him in a relationship, then I would still want to live because I know he and I would still be friends, but if you mean losing him as in dying, I would want to die right along with him. We already have said that we want to die at the same time. So, this is a tough one.

I would rather him leave me, so he could find someone he loves, and I could too...

YEP, life is way too short to be concerned about someone else's life. You have your own to worry about. Leaving is dying in one form of the sense cause once they've left, they are dead to you. I chose to live my life but I'll protect my love at all cost and if she leaves then it must be fate.

If you are the primary beneficiary of their insurance ploicy, then dying would be what I would choo$e ......

well, having had my love die in my arms i wished
it would of been me instead, she loved life much
more than i, yet nature saw fit to take her from me ~
many times I've asked if there really is a gOd to go
back in time & take me in place of her ~
Seems there isn't a gOd......
or else he doesn't make trades ~


knowssignlanguage
I d rather him leave then die bc then i could always call go out to lunch i still could at least be friends with him if he left. My kids would still be able to see their daddy anytime they wanted. If i did have to choose between death and leaving it would have to be leaving me.

that would depend on how nasty he was to you. I decline comment on my particular situation, because my mother always told me if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

I would prefer her to leave me. That way she can still be happy. Death is final and there is no happiness in it.

Death~~~Yes, I could. With no possibility of getting back together, I would chose death. I have bee married for 54 years to my husband and my favorite line has been that" I don't want to live one day longer then he does". I would not chose to live without him at my age if he stopped loving me unless there where a medical reason. We are happy and I am blessed not to have that choice to make. Praise God !!!!

I see I miss read the question. I would never wish my Husband dead. I would rather he would leave me. (as if he could) ha ha


Why not me

I would have to say that since she has already left me, I'll keep it @ that. To have been cheated on and had my heart broken was like death. I just tried to keep from dying & wouldn't wish that on anyone.


robee
I would choose leaving. There is a chance that they will come back.


JourneyToTheHeart
I would prefer leaving cause I know no matter what I'll always love him and I would want him to be happy again one day even if it doesn't include me. Though I am also about to cry just thinking about both scenerios as well.


kellygirlaj
If I had to choose between my husband dying and just up and leaving me, I'd have to say I'd rather that he die, and here's why:

If he and I split up, and I had to see him with another woman, and knowing what kind of man he is, and how he is in all aspects of a relationship, it would kill me to know that she is receiving all that I had, and should still have. It's not something I want to see, or have any knowledge about. Even if I didn't see him on a regular basis, just knowing that another woman is in his airspace bothers me; that's why it would be better if he were dead.

Hope this helps in your psych class, I hope you get an A+.

Are you asking, choose between my wife dying or my wife leaving me, or, are you asking me to choose between my wife leaving me, and me dying? I assume the former, but, in either case, I would prefer for her to leave me. While I would be crushed for my wife to leave me, people don't stay crushed. When people die, they stay dead forever.

Umm i think i would rather him leave me... its easier then having to leave him because u have to make that deep decision.... These two things are quite similiar actually... he leaves u.. u never see him again expecially if its on bad terms... if he dies u never see him again... or if you die ur fuked either way so i think i would pic leaving because i dont want anyone to die.... and if he was leaving on bad terms and i hated him then i still would choose him leaving me because i would want him to keep living his miserable life instead of taking the easy way out!

i would say leaving me. like many others have said death is so final at least if he leaves he can still be happy. not that i would want him to be all that happy with someone else. :)
that is a good question makes you think

i would choose them to leave...they could find happiness with another and not sad from my death.


brwneyedgrl
As broken as id would be after, id have to say id rather him leave me, then to die, although my soul would feel dead after he left, but i have 3 kids that depend on me.

Plus if u really look into the question ur asking.. u lose out either way, if u choose death, ur still not with ur significant other.. and if they leave u , ur still not with them, so either way its a lose lose situation.. so id rather live..and be with my kids.. they come before anyone else..

i would rather they leave then to die i could not bear the thought of never seeing my better half again and that would happen if they died. It would be a hard choice because either way i would die without ever seeing my better half again.

Definitely my "other" leaving! My life is all I have that is mine, and there are plenty of people in the world to replace that "other". Think about all the people that move on after the love of their life dies.

I think I would choose dying because that way at least I would know that they had to go . In leaving they made that choice and they dont want to be with you any more . good luck with your class.

As much as I love my significant other... please leave me... I can always learn to love again. I have other things in my life that are very important to me as well.

She cheated on me, so she can die and rot in hell....
