Caught my wife checking to see if I was Dead!

[diverrick]

My wife has been seriously ill for over thirty years, and had cancer 4 times on top of her main illness. Sometime when she is so tired she cannot get out of bed, and it has been very quiet for too long I have to go upstairs stand there to see if she was still breathing. Barely, but still breathing is what I find. She gets so weak I would not be surprised if one day she is not breathing anymore. So, yea I have done it at times.

Thats the serious side of this. What you said saddened me. You're a good and devoted husband. All good things are seen and blessed by heaven.

It's a woman-anxiety thing. One time I came in to see my dad laying on his side on the kitchen floor. I casually went to the other room and told my mom that he had either died or passed out. Upon further inspection he was actually fixing something under the table. lol I'm just so used to thinking people are dead that you get kind of numb to it after the 100th false alarm.

So true. My wife is unduly worried.

I check my own pulse frequently.

It really freaks me out when I can't find it, but not as much as it freaks other people out when I ask if I am alive yet.

Hey Buckshot, Don’t worry about not finding your pulses as long as you keep breathing.

Hey Buckshot, Don’t worry about not finding your pulses as long as you keep breathing.

Oh no.

I might quit breathing? Cripes! Next thing you know I might wake up from a nap only to find out that I'm dead.

"...as long as you still keep breathing", that's two things that I gotta check to now!

My wife does this in the middle of the night sometimes. She is a career RN. The bad thing is when I wake up from my deepened slumber and respond, she seems somewhat disappointed.

I want to go like that !

Yeah, GAP, me too. In the words of Woody Allen (before he became a pervert and stopped being funny) "Its not that I am afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens". We can only hope.

I have checked on hubby a few times, he usually snored so when things got too quiet, ya i would go investigate.
Kinda like when you have kids in the house and its gets "too" quiet...something's up.

Maybe your wife wants to move on with her new boyfriend.

Why? Whats wrong with the old boy friend. Actually some recent medical issues got her a bit worried. But I feel great and still working everyday after recovery. Thats why I fond her actions so funny. She doesn’t trust me when I tell her i’m just fine with i am.

Yeah, hubby has checked on me before. Hacked me off! Best sleep I had in days rudely interrupted.

He is a still Sicko. A new movie about him just came out.

A few days ago i laid down to take a nap. A couple of hours later I woke up with my wife hovering over me. She was checking to see if I was dead. She said my body was cold. (Air conditioning was on.) And that it looked like I wasn’t breathing. This is not the first time she has done this. She is always so cool, calm and collected about it. Does anyone else have people checking periodically to see if your dead? Actually I think it is quite funny when she does that. Twisted sense of humor that i have.

Perhaps she is Pro-2nd Amendment,,,,,

Has she been watching forensic files and taking notes??

 

[fyrffytr1]

I told my wife I want to be cremated. She made an appointment for next Tuesday!

When i seen this thread i thought someone stole my identity. Then I vaguely recalled posting this thread. A lot has happened since 2017. She no longer checks to see if I'm still alive. I guess she just lost interest.

 

[Duckshot]

Escape, my condolences if she is no longer with us.

 

[SusanMN]

Back when this thread was originally posted I told the story of a friend whose husband died in his sleep while watching TV. A year ago my 40 year old nephew died in his sleep of undiagnosed heart disease. It happens so have your wives keep checking on you.

Seems like there is always someone waking me up saying "hey are you ok"...

I am like "I am fine just checking my eyelids for holes".

Then... they always say and do the same thing... curiously enough as it is...

They then always stand straight up and say...

"um hey bartender down here ! ! !"

"can I get one of what this guy under the bar foot rail is having" ?
