I was talking with a friend last night about SM and finding happiness in your life as well as looking back on your life. So we proposed the questions:
What if you were told you only had two years to live? Would you leave your SM? Would you outsource?
What about ten years to live?
For me the thought of how I wanted to look back on my life was a huge factor in deciding to divorce. Honestly I can die in a car crash an hour from now but 2016 was such a happy year for me that I have no regrets about choosing divorce. I also sacrificed some financial security and stability by becoming a single mother of two young children but I don't value things like I do experiences and relationships, I'm definitely a people person.
If I were still married and found out I had 2 years then I would have stayed married but outsourced like crazy. Ten years - Divorce!
Odds are we will be here ten years from now so what's your choice?

If i am so diagnosed, all bets are off. I will try to do all of those things that i felt that i never could and this marriage would not be compatible with any of that. |

Good question. If it were me the answers would be the same as yours.

I would stay married either way, but outsource, travel more and enjoy life ..which I am doing anyway.. |

I would file for divorce immediately and begin outsourcing with someone who appreciates me.

Just the same as you, but I would spend lots of time with my son. I would make sure that someone other than my wife would take care of him. She's not capable of raising him by herself. I am already thinking that I might be in the 10-year window, even though I have no major illnesses other than diabetes. It scares me that my wife has no idea what to do when I get sick. |

People bullshit themselves about what they'd do "if" (insert scenario of your choice here).
-
You don't know what you'd do under a given circumstance.
Until the circumstance arrives.
Then you find out - by what you actually do.
-
But anyway, I'll play.
If I found out I was cashing in my chips on 8th January 2019, I think I would collapse in a blubbering mess, and bring new meaning to the words "self pity".
Over and above that, I have no fucking idea how I'd react, or what I'd then do.

Good one Sister elle.
I would like to think I would -
(a) make sure Ms enna was looked after financially, and as far as possible, emotionally.
(b) help my kids consolidate their finances and future.
(c) see as much of my friends and family as I could manage.
(d) have a big farewell party (like our friend Stella did whilst she was still capable before she pegged out at 44)
(e) write my own funeral service, being as irreverent as possible, including music, with the crowd (if anyone attended) to belt out "Hungry Heart" by B Springsteen at the finish. And to leave a few grand on the bar to kick start the wake.
(f) join a lobby group for voluntary euthanasia legislation in my jurisdiction.

I have been thinking about this a lot in the past 24 hours. I don't know anything, except that if I stay here I will die here. When it is my time to go, i don't know how i will feel, but i just don't want to feel like this.

Hmmmmm....If I only had 2 yrs,instead of taking my time to find exactly the right motorcycle at the right price as I am doing now I would trade up immediately. I'd sell this property and I'd move to a warmer climate where the ladies wear less clothing. I would probably make use of the pro's to satisfy my sexual longings instead of wining, dining and courting my way between a ladies legs. I'd find a good home for my dog and then travel more. I'd definitely spend a lot more time with my grandchildren.
If I had 10 yrs, which is probably my best case in real life, I don't know that I would change a lot of what I am doing now. But as each yr. clicked off I would try to take in more of what the world has to offer until I started getting closer to the 2 yr deadline.

My husband 14 years older ..I naively thought I am a lucky one to feel forever young for him... His appreciation stopped one year after our wedding... |

Why bother with the mundane stuff Like getting a divorce. Time wasting etc.... I would get on the internet buy a round the world ticket, take off and probably die within a year in some ridiculous fashion and will live on for ever more in a YouTube video - man drowned to death by a gang of squirting hookers
