This is in a way sad and in a way extremely touching. Sad is obvious, but I find the "I'm not hanging out here without her" just heartbreakingly sweet. He's gonna die right after her funeral because, why shouldn't he?

My wife and I are coming up on thirty years and I genuinely don't remember life without her.

Congrats. My wife and I are on the way to 14 and I can’t imagine a life without her.

That actually is a real thing. Sometimes when one long term partner dies, the other quickly follows with no explainable cause. Like a man who gets yearly physicals and no history of heart problems dies of a sudden heart attack with in a month of his wife dying, that sort of thing.

Look up heartbreak syndrome it's sweet and sad

I knew about it, but it's honestly one of the saddest and sweetest things I've ever heard. To be that in love with someone, it's really incredible.

Same here. It just wouldn't feel right - like how far is this car going to roll after half the wheels fall off?

It just becomes a motorcycle…didn’t you see The Dark Knight?
