"All inaccurate.

(1) He didn't run off with another woman. He moved on after six or seven years. Why fault him for that? Wouldn't you do the same? In fact, my in-laws were especially vexed by the fact I met a woman seven months after my wife died and married her slightly over a year after my late wife's passing. "

ALL ACCURATE

Maybe you are defending him out of guilt for what you did. I have seen many spouses and parents of patients like Terri that didn't run off with another person. Yes people remarry after being widowed (usually-after the body is cold), but most wait for their spouse to die. I'm sorry just because you identify with him doesn't mean everyone does it. Maybe some would fulfill their needs with a fling here and there , but to melt down her rings, kill her cats and move in and have kids shows that he is not committed to her and does not have her best interests.

Sorry, I disagree. Having kids is truly the most wonderful thing I've ever done and I don't fault Michael for wanting the same thing. I fail to see how you can claim it's not having Terri's best interests. Neither is him buying a car. Neither is him going on vacation.

The fact of the matter is Michael's children with another woman is simply none of Terri's concern. If she doesn't cognitively respond or react to anything done to her physically; why in the world will she care if Michael has kids with another?

Should he just impregnate Terri while she's just laying there?

What exactly is wrong with him having children?
