A good friend of mine has recently found out that she has cancer. It’s supposed to be treatable, but she’s still in shock from the diagnosis. She asked me today to promise her that if she loses her battle with the cancer, that I would marry her husband. She says I’m the only friend who is strong enough to keep him in line & we get along very well. She seems to think that we would be the perfect match to help take care of each other so neither of us would be so lonesome. This request caught me off guard & I ended it with “you can beat this so we don’t need to worry about that today”. Before leaving, she asked me again to consider her request & get back to her ASAP as it would give her such a peace of mind.

Ladies, what would you do or how would you react if your good friend requested the same from you???

Gents, how would you feel or how would you react if your wife made such a proposition to you???

I’m not often at a loss for words, but I was gobsmacked by her request. I’m just hoping that as she has a little more time to process her situation that she will change her mind. I love both my friend & her husband, but I’m not “in love” with her husband & for me that’s always been a requirement to consider marriage. Please give me some food for thought here.
