Yeah, I know parents are supposed to be selfless and that’s why I probably wouldn’t be a great mother, but I love my partner first and foremost. And he loves me first and foremost. I don’t *want* to love a kid more than I love him. And I don’t want him to love a child more than he loves me. Differently, sure, but not more.
And so I would never choose to let him die and I sure as fuck wouldn’t want him to let me die.
It’s a different thing letting YOURSELF die to save a child. But having someone make that choice for you? Doesn’t sit right with me.
