What would you do if you had to choose between your life and your spouse's life?

This is a very hard question because I REALLY value my life and know I need to be here for my kids. However, I love my spouse dearly, with all of my heart. If I had to chose, I could not chose saving myself over my spouse.So, I guess the answer is I would save my spouse.

I do not think I could live with myself the rest of my life knowing I saved myself and let my spouse die. I would harbor guilt and I would be unhappy for making such a decision. I would rather die and save my spouse and atleast I died happy.

I know my spouse would take care of the kids and for me, this is just the best choice.

If our kids were still at home I'd let myself die, as my husband is a better provider income wise I feel that would be in the best interest of our children. I can offer them love, he offers them substantial income and more complete protection. Shame there isn't the option to kill someone else, I would take another life to save both of ours.

However if our kids were grown and gone I would allow him to die and then kill myself to save him the pain of watching me die. I don't think I would want to live without him unless I had our children still dependent on me. I think the loss of true love kills a soul anyway so living on would be pointless.

Mine, I couldn't live with myself knowing I had "killed" him (or allowed him to die). I wouldn't tell him what I was doing or he would be left with the same feeling.

If I had to choose between my life and my spouse's life, I would choose neither because during the time which I decided to choose to live my life with my spouse, I decided to left the life that I was living, same is true with my spouse's life. As I dedicated my life to love my spouse, our lives together takes on totally new directions. It is not my life or her life anymore, but our life together, starting out a new beginning, a new journey together as two loving couples.

The "I" have become "We", so we must pursue our own goals together and live the life we choose and starting our own family together. With your question, I would choose to choose to save our lives together, no matter what, because that would truly matter to our love, even it would mean the death by the two of us.

There are no situation or reasons here so the answer is hard to say. Are we talking being stuck in a desert with only a little food. Or stepping in front of a gun to save her.

Or committing suicide or what? In an instant yes it would be my reaction to step in front of a weapon for her and stop the attack. Would I share a kidney with her-yes.

If it was a crazy suicide pact then no.

This is a difficult question because I enjoy my life and I would be saddened to leave it. I would want to see my son and my grand children grow into adults. With that being said I love my spouse and I would definitely choose to save him over myself.

I would choose this not only because I love him but because it would be better for the whole family. My spouse is the main bread winner in the house so it would be better for our son if he survived. I could go out and get a job to support us but we would have some tough times ahead of us.

If my spouse survived things would more than likely go on normally as they are now.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
