girlfriend in a coma

[viking97]

i heard this one song "girlfriend in a coma" by the smiths and i got to thinking about it. what if i was in a situation like that? i mean if i go and look for a new relationship, and she wakes up, i'm going to look like the biggest ass in the world. on the other hand i can wait around for her to wake up, and could be waiting forever which would suck.

so escapist, what would you do if your girlfriend (or boyfriend) was put in a persistent vegetative state?

 

[Marter]

I'd probably give it a few weeks, but after that, I'd move on. If she wakes up, that's great. If she doesn't, you will have moved on.

It depends, If i'd been going out for a couple months, I'd probably stay with her for a couple weeks or so, support her parents as best i could (More emotionally than financially) and then if it looks perminant, I'd leave. Im too young (21) to have a Girlfriend in a coma.

If we'd been going out for years i'd be there daily, Telling her everything. If she could hear me, It may keep everything together.

Thats a toughie.

I guess it depends at what age really. If it was now, and it was a permanent coma (or like a 4 month coma). I guess I would move on.

But fuck, that would suck.

 

[slowpoke999]

I would realize that I was, in fact, the one in the coma and wake up.

Futurama reference?

This about sums up my feelings. I dont know what I would do if I were in the relationship for say 3 or 4 years, that would fucking kill me!

There is a very good book with the title of this thread that narrates things from the P.O.V of the girl in a coma - very moving.
O.T that's an evil dilemma, i really hope I'm never in a position to choose. If I had too I'd wait around until the doctor told me there was no point in waiting, then I would TRY (emphasis on the try), to move on. If they woke up... I cannot say but it would be a medical miracle.

...I really don't like thinking of this situation, it blurs the lines between medicine and hope and all that can lead to is wishful thinking.

I would stay for a long time,because well,she's probably the only girl that is ever going to have any interest in me.And staying with her the entire coma(provided that she does wake up one day) would earn me massive nice boyfriend points.

 

[GL2814E]

My fiance says if she is in massive pain and not likely to wake up, pull the plug.

I'd wait and hope for a medical breakthrough, but she says I've been reading too many comic books.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I'd wait around asking the doctors on her condition bi-hourly i'd put flower in the room spray perfume and what not. I'd also have classical music playing because i would know she likes that sort of music.

True and........... don't make your avatar two chicks making out, it's very distracting. But I do agree with this. I am an utter looser, so if I got a girlfriend, let alone had one for a long time, I would give her the world if she wanted it, and stay by her if this where to happen.

 

[Dragon_of_red]

I would stay with them for a while, maybe a month or two, but after a bit, I would just have to move on... I'd use the excuse "Its what she would have wanted"

 

[Da Joz]

Poke her with a stick really hard and yell. If that doesn't wake her than I would have to move on.

Girlfriend in a coma?
I'm a dedicated guy. I'd give it a year.
After that idk.

I... agree. If it was a short-term relationship, I'd still make damn sure the coma was something long-term, although I really don't know that there's any way of judging that... is there? Also, where's the line between short- and long-term relationship?

 

[MelziGurl]

I've been with my fiancee for 4 years, I couldn't tell you how I would respond to the situation or for how long I could wait. It would depend on how long it took me to get past the heart break.

Its difficult to explain without sounding like an asshole isnt it?

The thing is, If i'd been going out with a girl for anything 5 months+ then it'd be a murky decision, Anything before may make it easier to leave, But then again, Im a heartless bastard. (its one of my many flaws.)

What he said. Honestly, if you haven't committed or anything (i.e. married) you have no responsibility to stay with them. I'd leave, and I wouldn't feel like an ass.
