Who would you choose to save, your wife (husband) or your baby?
God forbid this happening to any of you but just imagine that your wife was pregnant and about to give birth, however, complications arose and it was the husbands decision to pick the life of one. who would you choose? your wife or unborn baby? woman if you could only choose to save one which, who would it be, your husband or child? Again, God forbid this happening to you. I was just curious.
Who would you save first? Mom or Wife/Husband?
My Grandma asked me this question here while back. If my wife and mom was drowning, who to save first. Grandma said to save mom first. She said "You could always get another wife you only get one mom."
If you had to choose between your wife/husband and your children, who would you choose?
Writing anonymously because I am being honest. This question crop up many times in my mind. And invariably here is what is my answer, always.When it comes to choosing between my wife and two wonderful kids that we have, my choice is going to be Wife. She is me, she is my half, she is my life, she is my life energy. She is, so the kids are, she is, so I am. She is inseparable part of me. I can not leave her, can not live without her.My kids are my pride, I love them to the core, but they are just my responsibilities, taking care of them is my duty which has an end date, until they become adult, or they start earning. After that they are going to be on their own, they will get involved in their own life, they will not have much time for me. They will fly away to set up their own nest. But my wife is going to be there until my end or until her end, come what may. My kids may leave me anytime, but my wife will be there by my side always, come what may. This is how it’s going on for last 12 years, and this is how it’s going to be rest of life, for eternity.This does not mean I have no love for my parents. Like my kids, my parents are also my duty, my responsibilities. As of now they are able to take care of themselves, but when they need, me and my wife are going to fulfil our duties fully, with all devotion. But then it’s going to be back to me and my wife. So for me answer is simple without controversy, without thought.
Poll: Would you save your Wife or Baby?
Wife, no doubt. If I made the vow to be with her for the rest of her life, I'm always going to consider her over an unborn child, we can always adopt, but I can never give that child a real mother or as good a childhood in a realistic time frame.
Would you rather Save your Wife or your Child?
The kid. The kid can collect inheritance & SS benefits. The dingbat can't. ♠♠♠
A husband, wife, and a child are on a sinking ship and you can only save two. Who do you save and why?
The logical choice would be to save the two that would pose the least amount of risk to your own life. Never let emotion become a catalyst for your decision making. Scenario: because of your emotions you jump in the water to save the baby first. Problem, the mother lost her grip of the child and it has floated farther out away from the mother. Now, because of your emotions; you swim pass the father, swim pass the mother and grab the floating baby. Then, again because of your emotions. With baby in tow and a longer swim ahead; you swim back to the mother grab her. Look around for the husband, don’t worry he drowned while you were saving the floating baby. Now the ship is sunk, you, the baby and mom are out in the middle of the ocean. You’re tired as Hell, you have a screaming baby and a exhausted woman and a even longer swim back to safety. You are now in jeopardy of losing your life too. In situations like this you must use logic!
Whom would you save if you can only save either your husband/wife or son/daughter?
Not quite the same question, but I once chose (or thought I had to) my child over my marriage.Our son had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Radiation therapy might shrink the tumor and give him a few more years of life—perhaps time enough (according to one doctor) for a surgical procedure to be invented. It also might not, and the radiation could speed up the growth of the tumor.I wanted to give him every possible chance. My more practical minded husband wanted not to accept the treatment. I spent one long, sleepless night pacing the house, all alone with my thoughts and finally concluded I would give my son what I felt was the best possible chance even if it meant ruining my marriage. In the end, it did not. In the end, the tumor’s growth was affected. It grew faster and killed my child in 4 months, instead of a possible 24 months. There is still no surgery, fifty years later, to successfully and safely remove a tumor embedded in the brainstem.
If you had to choose to save the life of your kid or your spouse who would you choose?
JR this is a hard one with many complex issues to consider. The first is which has the better insurance and how necessary is that insurance to your well being. If your husband is under-insured but makes good money then you may want to choose him. If you are a smart woman and have your husband worth more dead then alive or you are not dependent on his income then obviously the child would be the choice in who to save. Secondly you really have to consider the quality of each now assuming you have the happy picture perfect family this will be a harder choice. However if you have a child who shows signs of being a future psycho path, expensive medical issues, or is otherwise "bad" then you may want to not choose that child. Likewise if the husband is a bit of a looser, maybe cheats, doesn't earn enough, or other "issues" then you would not want to save him. Finally you have to consider if you really want to save either of them at all as you should also have the option to drop both, think of the sympathy and the freedom. In this consideration is the fact too that while we are each unique individuals we are relatively replaceable. If you believe your husband is your soul mate and you love him and don't want to replace him then in most cases you can have another baby or even two or three more to fill that void. Likewise you can drop the man and find a new one. So which is more easily or more preferable to replace is the final consideration as well as just being fair and letting both fall. Now naturally with my exquisite skill and timing if I were personally in this situation I would have my husband grab the kid and then I would pull them both up with my super human woman strength. Since you do limit me to one choice and I am a realist I would choose the child using my criteria the husband has more insurance and is a small fortune especially dying in a tragic accident, he is a good man but would never forgive me for not saving our child so the relationship would be strained most likely ending, and finally it would be a little fun to replace him, I mean I am not looking to do it or planning for it, but dating wouldn't be the end of my world as I have maintained my market value.
Would you choose to save your wife or her unborn child during a surgery?
My fiance and I have actually discussed this, at length.I told him, straight-up, that if there was ever a situation where either I could live or my unborn baby could live, but not both, I would choose myself. If that meant abortion, so be it.I have been struggling with depression for much of my life. I spent so many years thinking I was worthless and useless and that I didn't deserve love or to live. There was a stretch of time in my life where I basically gave up and figured I was going to kill myself soon, why bother trying to do anything?But then my depression started becoming manageable. I woke up one morning and saw the sun rise in Manhattan, and I realized I loved sunrises and I wanted to see tomorrow's sunrise too. My depression wasn't gone, but it also wasn't ruling my existence with an iron fist. For the first time in years, I wanted to live. Forgive my language, but fuck circumstances and fuck depression! My body literally felt lighter. My mind was clearer. I was happier. I was happy.Could I give that up for an unborn fetus? Even my own unborn fetus?Could I really put my fiance in a situation where he would have to raise a child by himself while also grieving for me? Would he look at that child and know it was alive because I was not, and not love it any less for that? I'm sure he could, but should he have to?He agreed with me and my decision. He also said he doesn't know how he could raise our child without me. He said that there will always be another opportunity to have another baby and try again if I'm alive, but only if I'm alive. How could he give that child everything it needs by himself? How could he provide for the child while also giving it the love and attention it needs and deserves? Not to mention he has no idea how to take care of a newborn. We're supposed to figure that out together.Some people might think it's a selfish decision, to choose myself, but I don't think so. It would be one of the first times in my life I did choose myself, really.
