Human Behavior, answer the following...?

Question

There is no right or wrong answer, just human response.

If you have been dating your significant other for about a year now, long enough you know your not just messing around anymore. But not long enough that you are super serious.
Now your significant other is in an accident and is in a coma, but the doctors say they will make a full recovery, but the medecine needed to revive him takes a full year to create.

Do you stay faithful to them?
Do you break it off?

*** only single or dating people may answer ***

Answer 1

that really depends on each individual case. U might not be "super serious" but a year is pretty long, and u would prob have some strong feelings to be with that person for a year. At least I know I would, if I don't have strong feelings for someone I dont bother, i'd rather be single doing my thing then in a dead end relationship. However, waiting another year is also a long time. If u devoted ur self to this person and then after they recovered they ended the relationship I would be pissed. At the very least, I would say that u should be there to help, and be a friend, but it is human nature to feel the urge to be with someone and if that person cannot fulfill ur needs...

Answer 2

The factor that is missing from this equation is how much he loves her. Based on your description, it doesn't sound like they're crazy about each other - they're in a relationship where they're no longer messing around but not "super serious" either, doesn't sound like a promising relationship.

A year is a lot of time for a person to wait for. Unless he foresees a true future with her, he should not make it his goal to stay with her. Consider this, if this person is NOT in love with the one in a coma, think about he may be missing out on the opportunity to meet the "real" love of his life while waiting for the other one to be "revived".

Lets now consider if she never got into an accident. In a year, do you realize that anything can happen? She can break up with him, he can break up with her, one can cheat on the other, one can fall in love with someone else. These are all real possibilities that are not unheard of.

A fairy-tale ending is that he stays with her through thick-and-thin and that when she wakes up, they live happily ever after.
How rare is the latter case? In the real world, people do not live in this fashion. Relationships are just as unpredictable as the stock market at times!

My ultimate belief in this matter is that if the person is truly worth waiting for, that you will make your best attempt to stay with him/her, however, it is not a sin if you don't. We are HUMAN, we need food, shelter, and intimacy. A person in a coma simply can not provide for at least one of these important qualities of human life. Remember, a lot can happen in a year.

Answer 3

This is a hypothetical question. As a heathcare provider, no medical provider or system can predict with certainty that someone in a coma will come out of it in a year and have a full recovery. So acknowledging that premise......its all very individual. Love, personal ethics, support available, children involved, ect .play into this decision. This is an impossible prediction to make.

Answer 4

Stay faithful to them. A year is NOT a long time. That's what society lacks today anyway. Commitment. Everyone is afraid of committing, afraid of trusting, afraid of getting burned. Some people are worth taking a chance with and if I'd been with someone for a year, I'd be willing to take the plunge and stick with them.

Answer 5

Leaving aside every thing but considering the least common denominator of the relationship,say a bond or some degree of friendship or a relation of mutual liking or what ever name we give to which connects two human beings,the fact is that a factual relationship existed.That being so,from ethical as well as prevailing social norms would indicate that one should come forward and look after the other who needs it now.At this stage it is not important as to what course the previous relationship should take in time to come.SIMPLY PUT,stand by the person and see him/her through it.Breaking off would imply meanness and cowardice.Choose and be done with it .

Answer 6

particular, if there is not any such factor as loose will. we are the two in charge for our very own habit or we are actually not. interior the broadest possible experience, each thing from our genes to our atmosphere impact our habit. If I placed on a coat, this is because of the fact the temperature is low, if I turn on the aircon, it is with the help of the fact this is warm, yet impact is amazingly diverse from reason. until eventually all of us lack loose will, this is not possible to assert that my turning on the a/c grow to be brought about by utilizing the intense temperature, it grow to be purely motivated by utilizing the warmth. If we've loose will, then even the mixture of genes and atmosphere won't be able to be suggested to reason habit. If we don't have loose will, none of this concerns.

Answer 7

There are always right or wrong answer. Time has nothing to do with how you feel about someone. You have to go into your mind and see if you really want to be with them, remember if they are in a coma who to say will be the same when they wake up.

Answer 8

The right thing to do is remain faithfull. That's if you don't want to have to explain why you did the wrong thing at some point in the future. Hard to break off a relationship when the other person is in a comma. Good question.

Answer 9

How long you've been together is not an indication of how much you love someone, so oit would depend on if I was completely in love with them or if it was a relationship of comfort and convenience. If it's true love... I'd wait, probably by the bed side as much as possible.

Answer 10

How can you answer that. You will do what you feel is right. People may answer they way that they think they should, but since it is an impossible situation, the answer is just silly. All you will get as answers is what people think they should say, not the actual truth.
