This can be due to anything. Death, never meeting each other in the first place, some alternate reality where you don’t work out for some reason. My wife and I talk about this. Not all the time, but it comes up. In the event of my death, I don’t care if she wants to be alone forever or with someone else. I just want her to have whatever life she wants. I’ll be dead, so there wouldn’t be a me watching over her or anything like that. In the event of us not meeting, we’re both people that have had full lives totally on our own and with the occasional fling, so we both also would be fine. It always amuses me that people say things like “I’d probably be ok, but just not as happy.” Well, no, because if we’d never met then we wouldn’t know the happiness that could be from being together, so therefore we’d find happiness in the things that we always have and in new things. We’d be fine. And in the event of some alternate reality where we don’t work out for some reason, then it’s basically the same thing. Go about living our lives, maybe be really particular about who we have romantic relationships with. What are your conversations about this kind of thing like? submitted by /u/Sudden_Doughnut_8741
