I typed a long message, then asked my wife what she thought about the concepts raised.
She informed me that you might be metaphorically pulling my chain.
If you are, well done! I was fooled. Though tricking someone as socially oblivious as I isn’t that much of an achievement, I still appreciate the joke.
If you are not, I am happy to discuss the philosophies of committed relationships, but my (very inexpert) main points would be:
one should honor all commitments
commitments can be ethically renegotiated with the informed consent of all involved parties
at the end of the commitment (ie, death in this case), termination or renegotiation is also fair (even if the same commitment is the end result)
Isn’t this viewpoint why “until death do us part” is a thing?
I’m cool with my SO not parting after death, provided we can still get the romance on.
