Do you think you might outlive your significant other, or will he/she outlive you? ~



  Take into consideration age, health condition, family history of longevity, etc.

    I don't have a significant. 

    I have outlived many insignificants though.

    Take into consideration who has life insurance paid up on whom.

    I love it when I see a crime show involving a husband or wife murdering the other.  THEY ALWAYS TAKE OUT SOME HUGE INSURANCE POLICY that is so freaking obvious.

    It is like saying PUT ME IN JAIL I DID IT.

    Sounds like some of the crappy 'Lifetime' channel movies my wife watches.

    Forensic Files
    Law and Order
    and the Justice Channel
    and the rest of those true crime things.

    Those Lifetime movies are mostly horrid.  But there were a few gems.

    50/50. My body is deteriorating more than hers, but her mind is going. Plus she drinks and drives and smokes a lot of weed.

    Her mind is going?

    Are you sure she isn't just high?

    She usually only smokes when she gets home from work. But if she goes to her getaway tavern she might share a joint with a friend. She forgets stuff, even when sober.

    Well she may have a problem, but it's too hard to tell. Maybe she is just not focused.

    Or maybe she has lost some brain cells.  Could be.

    Sorry. I didn't know. Forget the remark I made on the "Holiday Blues' question.

    I did outlive the most significant other.

    He died early.

    Well, I am sorry for his loss.  I felt nothing by the time he passed. 

    It was years after we broke up and our breakup was not pretty.

    She married an 18-year old last year.  Don't you remember?  We all attended the wedding.
