Hypothetical question about complicated emotions, see details.

Asked By: MrWinstonSmith 22-25, M 2 months ago

Say you had a friend of the opposite gender who was dying, and they used their last words to profess their love for you, would that be a good thing to hear, or would that only make the whole situation worse?

It would be good to hear this. especially if it was unexpected. the heart sings when it must. on a deathbed it would be bittersweet. and you could sing back if you felt the same. love is love wherever it sings.

mm this is a hard one i guess it would both be good and bad..
good because you'd know and even though that person has gone to another place you know what they felt about you...
bad bacause it would play with your emotions and perhaps sit on your mind
especially if you actually felt the same way guess you would regret not saying anything earlier...=/
suckful situation...

If it makes the person dying feel better .. then that's all that counts. The living will have plenty of time to process the emotions and the thoughts provoked by the decleration. There may be regrets at not having known sooner ... but better to know than not know I say!

But would anyone want their last act in this life to be saying something that causes pain to others?

I would rather have him confess,and not die knowing he never told me what he really felt about me.
It would kill me inside though.

It only occurred to me recently that it might be devastating to the object of the love being professed. It is one of the many scenarios i play in my head to try to understand them. :P

lol. Sucks to be them. I get that this is deep stuff but, they waited till the end of their life to be truthful. But i guess a lot of us are like that..when death approaches, lying to ourselves and others seems pointless. Its not a good thing or bad thing to hear.. its just awkward. You tell them you love them too, and you hold them until they leave this world. Theres no point in saying..uh..yea, i dont feel the same way about you.. thats just evil.

Depends. If I had a crush on her, and she finally told me she felt the same way right before she dies... I'd be pi$$ed.

If the feeling wasn't mutual, I would hold her hand smile, and just be there for her in her final moments.

But surely it would just make the situation even more heart-breaking?
