    Basically there has to be a 90% chance of an almost instant full recovery before I’m allowed to help her at all

    Are you able to make the determination, or just haven’t taken a CPR class?

    I ask because that’s a lot of pressure put on you, to try to make that kind of emergency diagnosis, especially if you’re not in the medical profession.

      I believe they’re thinking of a full commitment that you wouldn’t get from any other guy.

      There are two things my wife wanted me to know when I started dating her. The first was that she was polyamorous. And the second was that she has always wanted to be dead. That last one has changed over the years she has known me. But the CPR class didn’t educate me on the risks of CPR. That I have learned from other sources. I know eventually this will result in cops and lawyers to cause me problems. But she is still very firm on the idea that it should never render aid to her unless it’s going to be a quick fix. She cannot stand the idea of being a burden to anyone.

        Make sure she gets an advance medical directive. I keep forgetting to set one up, but basically you can say when you can be revived, etc

        Remind her you will have a lifetime burden of guilt if you don’t attempt to resuscitate her

          I’d have a lifetime of guilt if she was there staring into empty space. There is no easy answer.
