What if you knew...

What if you knew ahead of time. If you knew ahead of time that you would be blessed with someone in your life that you really wanted, but knew ahead of time that you would only be given 10-15 years with that person...would you still do it?

Yes most definatly I would do it. I don't think I could deal with not knowing what lesson's I was going to be taught. I think that with knowing I only had 10-15 years with them I would act differently and be more around them.

I would take the 10-15 years with the person. That is a long time to have someone that I really wanted and that wanted me. I would make those 10-15 years last a lifetime. It is better to have 10-15 years and make them the best then to be lonely for 10-15 years or to fool around with people that I really do not want to be with or want to be with me.

Yes definitely I would. To be blessed with a special person in your life with whom you are in love and truly connect with - 10 years with such a person would be a true blessing. Not everyone can say that they met someone with whom they truly connect with in a romantic sense. Go for it.

Well yes I would. I would rather have 10-15 years with my soulmate, than live a longer time with the wrong person, or always wondering what might have been. Every day would be so precious.

mylot took my comment before I was finished. LOL We never know how much time we have with our loved ones anyway. I would most certainly spend that time with someone I loved and make the most of the time we had.

oh yes, definately, that could be the best 15 years ever for both of us, I wouldn't think twice. Who can say what can happen in 15 years, medical advancements, getting knocked over by a bus, who knows what tomorrow may bring. I'd take the chance to be happy.

10-15 years is a very long time, because no one knows what's round the corner. I would definitely want that person. It would be a light in my stormy world, it would make a lot of difference to me. The longest any relationship for me has lasted five years so 10-15 years would be a miracle and with miracles you grab them quick before they vanish! I wish it was so.

I do not think that I would because I would rather not get hurt from this at all.

Definitely!!! 10 to 15 years is a long time...not as long as I would like for someone special. But if that person was so special, then I would take the time I could get! And because I know we were limited to that time, I would sure make the best of it. And what a person it would make me! I think it would benefit me, that person, and many other people!

Yes I would. I would rather have had those years together. I wonder what it would do to a relationship. HOw would you treat eachother knowing that everyday was precious.

That is a really tough one . I hope that I would still say yes but am not sure . It would be extremely hard if you knew that they would be taken away from you and when it would be . Knowing that all the happiness you share with a person would all come to an end and that they would not be with you always would be a burden you would always be living with and that would change some of the happiness of being with that person .

10-15 years is still a LONG time! Having a special person in your life for that long would eb a blessing. I'd rather have it, no matter how short, than miss out on it.

Absolutely. If I knew ahead of time who I would be blessed with I would go for it for that short amount of time. During those years they will be most memorable and the best years of your life, if you knew that ahead of time. I definately wouldnt want to miss it.
