Sometimes I pretend im a time traveler going to see his dead wife just one last time
Exactly what the title says. Sometimes if I feel like im not showing my wife enough attention, ill build up a story in my head that im a time traveler that never appreciated his wife when she was alive and some traumatic event happened where she dies and I miss the little things about her.
In my head, I sacrificed everything just to get one more boring evening with her, just watching a show she likes, helping her with gardening, that sort of thing. Its weird as hell but for some reason it helps me remind myself to make sure to make her feel validated and loved because you never truly know when youre going to get your last moment with her.
No, I have not been traumatized by a tragic family passing, I've only lost an uncle to cancer a few years ago. I've done this longer than that
No i dont have to trick myself to love my wife, I really enjoy being around her and try to partake in her hobbies. I just do this sometimes
No I dont have a history with negligence that spurred this i just started doing it because I have an overactive imagination.
Yes, I believe it might have started with that one Futurama episode where fry went to his mother's dream and said everything he wanted to say
Anybody else do this?
