We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

My wife and I have both taken CPR classes together. She has very strict wishes about when I should render aid to her. Basically there has to be a 90% chance of an almost instant full recovery before I'm allowed to help her at all if something goes wrong. She knows the risks and so do I. I'm supposed to give her up so I don't let her down.

Hands down the best comment I have ever read. The subject. The setup. The payoff. The layers. Genius.

We are not worthy. It’s downhill from here. Just… perfect!

I am from the internet. I'm here to help.

I was really readying a polite, "No you should definitely render aid first and ask questions later" lecture until your comment made me read that again...slowly.

That setup was subtle and very well done. Bravo @[email protected]

Are you able to make the determination, or just haven't taken a CPR class?

I ask because that's a lot of pressure put on you, to try to make that kind of emergency diagnosis, especially if you're not in the medical profession.

I believe they’re thinking of a full commitment that you wouldn’t get from any other guy.

Many people are no strangers to this type of agreement. But for those who are not familiar, I believe this video has gotta make you understand.

There are two things my wife wanted me to know when I started dating her. The first was that she was polyamorous. And the second was that she has always wanted to be dead. That last one has changed over the years she has known me. But the CPR class didn't educate me on the risks of CPR. That I have learned from other sources. I know eventually this will result in cops and lawyers to cause me problems. But she is still very firm on the idea that it should never render aid to her unless it's going to be a quick fix. She cannot stand the idea of being a burden to anyone.

Make sure she gets an advance medical directive. I keep forgetting to set one up, but basically you can say when you can be revived, etc

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Remind her you will have a lifetime burden of guilt if you don't attempt to resuscitate her

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'd have a lifetime of guilt if she was there staring into empty space. There is no easy answer.
