Coma: New love or Old love? - Let's say you're in a relationship with someone (long enough to fall in love) and that person ends up in a coma. After a year or two you start the process of moving on. You find someone new, and fall in love again with that new person. Some time into the relationship with this new person, the one you were in a relationship with wakes up from the comatose state.

Do you stay with your new love, or go back to your old love? (Please explain why you picked your answer.)





My answer
Well before I give my answer I wanted to share why I made this topic, as it will lead up to my answer on this topic.
I made this thread which made me look up a link to the anime Rumbling Hearts. I saw on ANN that there was an alternate ending made. I despised the ending to Rumbling Hearts so watching an alternate ending sounded appealing. (Although I was scared it might just be another be F you in the end ...) I was happy with the alternate ending, and started talking to my husband about it. He said he probably won't like the alternate ending. I said what you liked the ending or the original? He said no, it would have been if he ended up with neither of them. (Which I agreed that would have been a better ending than the huge F you at the end. )
This lead to the topic at hand were we started talking to each other about what if the other was in a coma, would you leave the new person to go back to whoever was in the coma scenario.
If my husband ended up in a coma it would ruin me. Any relationship I may have afterwards won't be meaningful. It would be shallow and just a comfort from all the loneliness. I would go back to my "Old love".
My husband on the other hand said he would probably stay with the "New love" because he would have already grieved for me, consider me dead, and although would be happy I'm back, and tormented between old feelings for me and new ones for this new person. He would pick the new person because he had moved on. (I ended up thinking what an A** ! You would pick a rebound over me >.< , but it's understandable logically that is ...)
I ended up rambling in my answer




-Sidenote. I'm still not sure if this thread would be more suited for the Adults 18+ section, or if it's better here in the chatter box ....
I don't think the topic is too mature that it need to be in the 18+ section, but not really up to be to decide where it fits best ...

I don't think that I would start dating again if my spouse/someone I really loved was in a coma with a chance of waking up. If I did, it would be because I had genuinely moved on from that person, and therefore I would probably stay with the new person.

It's a tricky question though - because you're dealing with someone who just woke up and has no conception of all that time that passed. Especially if it was a spouse, I think it would be extremely difficult to tell them that you had moved on.

Oh oh, meeeee ^^

When I heard the rumbling hearts ending (okay, maybe not really), it kinda sounded familiar,
Google, yeap, saw that one,
Didn't like it tho,
Cause Mc is a jerk, all His fault (｀А´)

Wiki is Useful, Episode list summary ^~^
Then watch the ending (for anime I don't like much but wanna know how it ends )

Topic
Urrrr, I guess I'd choose my new love,
Breaking up with the new one for an old one just doesn't feel and sound right,
I mean, no reason at all to really brake up right,

It will just look like the new love was just pseudo one, and the new love was just a replacement, wtf
Is that really love (o｀з ’*)

Kimi ga nozomu eien, huh... Man, it's been a long time since I've seen that. I should track down the Haruka route ending at some point.

I think I would, eventually, stay with the new love. If it were a similar situation to the anime, I would help out with the rehabilitation process to a certain degree, but if I really had already moved on and started a new, serious relationship.. well, that is that. I have moved on. I'm sure the old feelings would still be there and there would be tons of drama and regret, but the one person who shouldn't suffer for it is the new special person in your life.

Actually, I agree with the OP's opinion. If it was someone I truly loved and as long as there was a change for that person to wake up, I would have faith that it was going to happen.

I am sure that, if I found someone else while that person was in coma, I would feel as if I was cheating on them.

For me, love is something very serious. For me, if it IS love, then it will last forever. And with love, comes hope. So I would always hope that the person I love would wake up, and return to me...
