So he married her when she was 18? 😒

This explains so much

ooh. Thanks for doing the math, lol. Like the user above said, this explains so much.

I don’t see it as a big deal. People get married at 18 all the time. For some people it’s a horrible idea, but obviously its worked with them since they’ve been together ever since.

But she could easily live for another 10-20 after his death if you just come at it from a general life expectancy point of view.

In any case, for me it's difficult to think of dying as I am sure as hell not done living yet. If they have made their peace with this option, it's their choice.

But yeah, OP, also surprised at the 10 year difference and impressed at 43 year marriage. My parents would have been married 38 years this march but my father died last december.

I hope I can be married for that long someday. That part is goals. The pact.. not so much xD

I have always been intrigued by older people dying of a “broken heart” though. When I hear a couple follows each other, by natural causes, I’m both heartbroken and kinda moved?

IA. Look at Johnny and June. Even my mother's parents died less than two years apart.

My grandparents died less than six months apart and my grandpa said it was because he just didn't feel like living anymore if she wasn't here. The way he died was crazy - he got an infection that should've been easily treatable, but it was like his body just gave up fighting because he didn't care anymore. The end was really rough because he was so sick and he couldn't even really talk anymore, but in the end I was relieved for him, honestly. The thought of him potentially living another 10+ years being miserable without her every day was harder to take than him passing. He said he felt like it was his time and he wanted to go be with her, so that made it a lot easier for him.

Something similar happened to my grandpa.

My Uncle (his son, for clarification) died in a tragic car accident. My grandpa was grief stricken and suffered a small stroke that went undetected. A few months later, he got double lung pneumonia (presumably from aspirating food into his lungs bc of the stroke & difficulty swallowing properly) and died, but I just remember him telling my aunt and Mom that he "didn't care" if he ever got better. So heartbreaking.

So women already live longer than men on average, but also she's 10 years younger? Lol no.

Let her enjoy the money alone.

Preach it. Also, I thought they're religious. Isn't it up to God to decide when we die?

Sounds healthy
