Would You Stay?Follow

There is a story about a guy who was sent to Iraq, and was basically blown up from a suicide bomber while out on patrol. He was alive, but just barely. He was sent home in a coma, woke up, and was severely disfigured. His fiance stuck by his side and they recently got married.

Article, whic is too long to quote

Pictures of before and after, along with wedding photos

After looking at the pictures and reading the story, I was both amazed and impressed with these two. While some of the pictures the woman looks to be asking herself WTH did I get myself into, there are a few in the gallery of her looking totally in love. She's proven, its not looks that matter, but the person himself. In fact, I found myself laughing at some of the quotes in the article knwoing this would be a guy I could totally get along with. My two favorites:





We hear about people becoming seriously disfigured after some horrible incident, but rarely do we see the extremity of the matter. It really sunk in this time for me. I reflected last night on what my actions would be if something happened to my family in this manner. It's not something you can brush aside and say "Yeah, no matter what I'd be there." You'd like to think you would stand by your SO's side, but when something this extreme happens, it's something you really need to reflect on.

I did my reflecting last night. And I hope it is never ever the case, that anything like this should happen to my loved ones. But I can say with a clear conscious I would stand by them no matter what. The mans sense of humor is very like my own mans and it reminded me, even amidst the horrific photos that its the person inside that counts. But what about you guys. Would you stay? If no one would hold you accountable, and you could find someone else with no one blaming you, not even your SO, would you still stay or would you cut your ties?

Well then it seems I missed that thread. Bite me

I'd have to do it with the lights off.

Since your girlfriend already has to have the lights off, that works.

For me, I dunno. I guess if I'd already had the "this is the one for me" moment, then that commitment would stand.

The thing I'd be inclined to be more selfish about is if he needed full-time nursing, or needed me to change his colostomy bag or drool cup or whatever. I'm not particularly noble.

That's beyond creepy

Hannibal Lecter is very convincing...

not when they dont blink. Then you begin to wonder if they're trying to creep you out on purpose, thus diminishing the fun factor. Either that or they are robots

not if its creeping him out

Keep your 4chan crap in the OOT.

She didn't throw the wedding, so of course it's still mostly there.

Is no-one here prepared to toss in the obligatory "I'd hit it" post?

Remember where you are, people.

Oh, and: I'd hit it.

After looking at all the image links, I'd have to say that he was ugly before the accident, so no big difference for her really...
