Please tell me you're trolling.

I'm a widow. This is a horrible thread.

I admit I have thought it in the past. Then an acquaintance lost her husband suddenly in December. I would not wish that on myself or anyone ever. Particularly anyone with kids.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You're right.

The thread says sometimes, and I presume OP is having a difficult husband. If you're happily married, then this is a horrible thread. But if you're not - sometimes, people do wish to be rid of their troubles, although it's practically a stupid thing to wish for.

No, but I wish he would decide to leave and go somewhere else, but give me all of his money.

This is a disgusting post.

I'm also widowed. All I can ask in response to your post, OP, is whether you and your DH have children together. I wouldn't wish the devastation and heartache my children know upon anyone.

[Anonymous]

No. Next to my children dying, this is my biggest fear. I'm not sure how I could recover .

And losing her father wouldn't be even more sad?

You wouldn't wish it on yourself. Nice. Burial arrangements ARE a hassle, aren't they?

Yes I've fantasized about it in two of my relationships. Once when I was engaged and we ended up not making to the altar. And another time with my now ex husband. I've realized that when I start thinking about that, it's my relationship that is dead.

[Anonymous]

OP, it's your marriage that you want dead, not your DH.

Absolutely. Shameful.

I don't wish to be widowed (how awful!) but I have on occasion thought about how I would handle it if I were. DH is 7 years older than me and not great about taking care of his health so I fully expect that one day he will go before me.
