Just proves what I've always said


It's really unhealthy to be so attached to someone that you absolutely fall apart when they've gone.
I also have a life partner.

So, what you're saying is that "if" your partner got a debilitating disease, from which they died of.
You wouldn't mourn them forever?

Taken from you after many, many years together. You have to watch as they fade away in front of you as you sit by, helpless.
And you will be ok should that day come that you lose somebody so dear to you, you can't function as a result?
My guess is you have never loved, lost or experienced anything remotely like true love, regardless of the last sentence you wrote.

Old people have been known to die of a broken heart after losing a life partner.
It would seem you are a superior being and know how you're going to react should such a thing ever happen to you.

Good luck.

you've watched "Heat" one too many times.

How cute, a "life partner".

I think your missing the plot of this movie - that this man was led to believe he really was being haunted and decided to join his wife. Its not implying that that is the right thing for everyone to do when they lose a loved one.

My parents were married 44 years and after my mom passed away my dad was living with another woman within 6 months of her dying. I don't believe in that kind of love shown in the movie. Or maybe there is and my dad is just an a hole ( he is actually).

I'm sorry, but I think it may be just your dad. There have been numerous studies showing some husbands' health deteriorates after the wife's death; even to the point of 30% dying an early death.

I've met many older couples who are devoted to each other even after forty or fifty years together. My dad was never the same after my mum died.
