I'm not going to talk in circles. My point was that you made it sound that since Terri had been altered from the person Michael married, he had every right to move on with his life and commit adultery. As assinine as my "broken back" comment was in your mind, your thought that he had/has a right to have a girlfriend (and children) is just as ridiculous to me. I'm not saying you don't have a right to have that opinion. I'm merely just voicing my own on the matter.


i didn't think your thought was 'assinine', i just think it in no way compares to the state terri is in. although IMO I don't agree with him on having children, I think he should be allowed to move on in some way (dating perhaps, but not children).

If, God forbid, my husband were ever put in a situation anywhere near Terri's (where his mind was forever and irrevocably changed), you can bet your life that I would not be having relations (and children) with other men. When I vowed to stand by my husband, I meant for better or worse, in sickness and in health, until we are parted by death with all my heart and soul. Not any other circumstance. And I would hold him to the same accord were I put in a situation where I was in a conditions similar to Terri's.
its all personal choice frankly. I also would not want to move on while my SO was in the hospital, even IF he said to move on if he's ever in that condition. i'm just curious if terri and hubby talked about that and what was said.

Like I said, you are more than free to have that opinion and I am more than free to feel just the opposite.
:P exactly. this world would be BORING if we all agreed on everything, dontya think?
