I have thought about it. Especially in light of what happened with her friend's family passing in a car accident recently. I do have my life insurance set up to go onto her books if anything ever happened to me, and that would go a long way for her.

jsnake, good luck Buddy and you are in my prayers for a speedy recovery and a quick path back to good health.

Yes, you most definitely should tell her for sure. In my experience, it is best to keep them invovled with your life and never hide bad news from them. It makes them feel left out and unimportant if you hide it from them. It also shows them a rather large form of disrespect as well. I have always promised my wife that I will tell her what is going on no matter how bad it is and I have kept it.

I have made arrangements for her to be taken care of should something happen to me. All of our financial stuff is in both of our names. I have everything set up so that she would be taken care and not have to worry about it when she gets out.

jsnake, man I will definately keep you in my prayers with the operation. I hope things will turn out well and you will be back with us soon after.

I have things set up so if anything happens to me there is someone very close to me that will take over my financial and make sure she is taken care of.

jsnake, you should definately tell her. Even though they are at a loss for anything they can do; it makes them feel very unappreciated and forgotten if you don't tell them everything;even the bad.

jsnake, I'm really sorry to hear about this. Boy, telling her is a tough thing. It's hard enough for them to deal with out here in the world, but dealing with something like that in there is darn near unbareable.

You'll be in my prayers, take care.

Hi guys...I had spoke of this subject just yesterday. I must say you guys are all amazing (& on top of things)! Very good.
jsnake...I know you have alot on your mind, but do tell her. You're going to need her understanding & emotional support....just as she has relied on yours. Let her be there for you. You will get through this...together! We're all here for you too.

Tell her everything, jsnake! Of all the things she's missing in there, it's being needed that seems to grind. So even in your illness, she can do something for you - she can write, and pray, and cry with you and for you, and just let you know you matter.
Best wishes! And a big hug.

Default I doubt she would notice

and it would not even tear her away from her regimen of Gilligan's Island re-runs.

She would just do the math in her head as to the pre-tax value of the life insurance on my life, and why I could not slip in the shower earlier.

Oh, well..

Jack

Oh, Jack - nothing ever got better? Well, then make someone else the beneficiary of that policy!
