If my wife died I'd probably just save my money and switch to hookers.

Seriously though if my wife were to pass on I would be shattered. She is my best friend as well as lover. But I would carry on. I'm already the complete man, I can set up a company defensive perimeter, cook, handle resupply and logistics, do the laundry, provide instruction in field sanitation, help the kids with the home work, etc.. So my need for someone to fill those rolls would be minimal (though an extra hand would be appreciated). But I dont think I could ever find another who so compliments me, who serves the yin to my yang.

So yeah I'll just stick with the hookers.

My wife is a real trooper. Tougher than me in a lot of aspects. If I went, I think she would do okay. Probably better in the long term. We have had this conversation lightly, and I insist that she remarry. All pride aside, I have a son and he will eventually need a male role model in the house. She better marry a doctor or something.

In a disaster she would fair pretty well. She has a level head and knows mostly what I know and then some. She could use some more trigger time though. Son is old enough to contribute a little on light duty tasks.

As far as if she passed... I'd be screwed. My wife is my bestfriend. My whole world would fall apart. A definite SHTF scenario for me in itself. I figure that I'd adapt and overcome eventually. I'd have to lean on my family a lot though.

What a depressing thought.
