As I said, my husband would know me and my wishes. Why would he go against my wishes in the first place?
I still couldn't live with the fact that he chose me and not our baby whether it's right after or years later. Many marriages don't survive the death of a child.
Anyway, that's just me. I think it's selfish.
Whatever decision made, one of the two sides will seem selfish. I can understand you not wanting your husband to go against your wish, but him actually choosing the better option for you against his own wish is something I would not take for granted, nor want my girl to. Although, it's a man's job to show strength in such times. If you cannot comply with your wife's last wish, you shouldn't be thinking of marriage.
I'm curious, though. Not saying that it is at all possible, but if you had gone into coma, and wake up to learn that your husband sacrificed to save your and your child's lives, would you prefer to have been the one to pass away?
