I have a scenario here that I am pondering...?

First, you better make sure there is no clause in your insurance about suicide. They usually have it, and if they determine that the cause of death is suicide (believe me, they will investigate diligently), then the insurance contract will be void, and you or her won't get anything, including your payments.-- I'm not condoning suicide, just wanted to tell you the fact first.

I know that in desperate times, can sometimes culminate in some desperate thoughts. Offing yourself is not a selfless act, contrary to your belief. It is a selfish act because it's the easy way out. You don't have to deal with the suffering of others, and you would do that by turning your back on those who care about you by offing yourself. To think you are doing it all for her, is not that simple. She would go through a lot emotional suffering. She might even think you think of her that small of a person. She might think you think that she would rather have money and comfort than love, and that would make her feel like a gold digger. And you already know it would tear her apart, but just how much, you don't know.

The meaning of life is about the struggle one has and how that person overcomes it, and still be a good person in the end; but even if the person don't make it, that person still be called a good man/woman.

It is not about how much you make or gain, but how you touch someone else.
